Installation / How to Use
-
Measure & Prepare: Confirm door thickness, weight and swing requirement. Choose correct hinge size and quantity (e.g., two or three hinges depending on door size).
-
Mark & Align: Position the hinge barrels aligned vertically, typically at top, middle and bottom positions for heavier doors.
-
Fix Hinges: Secure hinge leaves to the door and frame using appropriate screws (use long bolts for solid frames).
-
Adjust Spring Tension: Use supplied tension pin or adjustment device to set spring strength so the door returns reliably without slamming.
-
Test Operation: Swing the door both ways; ensure smooth movement, full return to closed position, and no binding at any swing angle.
Tip: For high-use doors, consider using three hinges and matching fixings to ensure longevity and stable performance.
Maintenance
-
Periodically check that all mounting screws are tight.
-
Lubricate hinge barrels/spring mechanism with light oil annually for smooth action.
-
Check spring tension occasionally — if door stops returning reliably, increase tension slightly.
-
Inspect hinges and fixings in outdoor or coastal installations for corrosion; replace if worn.
