Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable and durable performance for residential doors

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the door frame is plumb and the mortise depth is consistent with the thickness of the hinge leaf. Use appropriately sized screws to secure the hinge to both the door edge and the frame. While these hinges are low maintenance, a light application of silicone-based lubricant on the ball bearing joints once a year can maintain smooth movement. Periodically check that screws are tightened to compensate for any seasonal wood movement in the door frame.
