Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning installation, ensure you have measured the weight of the intended door or window to confirm it falls within the hinge's load capacity.
- Preparation: Clean the mounting surface and remove any debris or old hardware residue.
- Alignment: Use a spirit level to ensure the hinge is perfectly vertical or horizontal, depending on your mounting point.
- Fixing: Use appropriate screws for the specific substrate (wood, metal, or composite) to ensure the hinge is anchored securely.
- Verification: After installation, cycle the door or window several times to ensure it operates smoothly without scraping.
To care for your hinges, keep them free of dust and grit. If the hinge becomes stiff over time, a light application of dry silicone lubricant can restore smooth movement. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the silver finish to prevent oxidation or scratching.
