A rounded corner hinge drops straight into that shape with no chiselling.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "What if my existing hinges have square corners?", "answer": "Square corner mortises are usually hand cut and will leave small gaps at the corners if you fit a rounded hinge. You can either square off the hinge corners is not possible, so instead you would round the mortise corners slightly with a sharp chisel. If you would rather not cut, look for a square corner hinge instead.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "What are the hinges made of?", "answer": "The material is listed as alloy steel.

As long as the stile is sound and the mortise is the right size, a standard 8.9 cm hinge is typical for these doors. If the old screw holes are chewed out, plug them with glued hardwood slivers before refitting.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I use these on an exterior door?", "answer": "The listing describes them as door hinges with a door mount type, without an exterior rating. Exterior and heavy solid doors usually call for a hinge matched to their weight and exposure.

Three is the usual choice for a standard interior door, and tall or heavy doors sometimes take four. Three spreads the load and helps stop the door bowing over time.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "Are these hinges reversible for left or right hand doors?", "answer": "Butt hinges of this style are symmetrical, so the same hinge serves a door that swings either way.

Mixing a new hinge with two old ones can leave the door sitting unevenly, and a worn hinge beside new ones takes more than its share of the load. The pack size makes doing complete doors straightforward.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I swap one hinge at a time without taking the door off?", "answer": "On many interior doors you can, as long as a helper or a wedge supports the door. Remove and replace one hinge, check the swing, then move to the next. This is often easier than wrestling a full door off its frame alone.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "Will these fix a door that sticks?", "answer": "Sometimes. If the sticking is caused by worn knuckles or loose screws letting the door drop, fresh hinges with solid fixings usually bring it back into line. If the frame itself has moved or the door has swollen, new hinges will not solve it on their own.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "Why does my door swing open or closed by itself?", "answer": "That usually means the hinges are not vertically aligned, or the frame is out of plumb. Replacing hinges gives you a chance to recheck the alignment as you refit. Small adjustments with a packing shim behind one leaf can also help.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "Do the hinges need lubricating?", "answer": "Not out of the box. If a squeak develops later, a drop of light machine oil or a dry lubricant at the knuckle is usually enough. Wipe away any excess so it does not run down the door.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "How do I clean them?", "answer": "A dry or barely damp soft cloth, then dry straight away. Avoid abrasive pads and solvent cleaners, which can mark the finish. Routine dusting when you clean the door is normally all they need.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "Will the black finish scratch?", "answer": "Any painted or coated hardware can mark if you drag a screwdriver across it. The usual culprit is a slipped bit during fitting, so take the drill off high torque and finish the last turns by hand. A matte surface tends to show scuffs less than a gloss one.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "Is the matte black colour consistent across the pack?", "answer": "Buying a single multi-pack is the best way to get a matched finish across several doors, because the hinges come from the same production run. Mixing packs or brands is where you tend to see subtle differences in black.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "How much do the hinges weigh?", "answer": "The item weight listed in the product record is 168 g.

If you want a different colour, it is cleaner to buy hinges in that finish. If you do paint, mask the knuckle and pin.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "How is the order delivered?", "answer": "We deliver anywhere in Australia with a tracked courier.

It pairs neatly with a set of matching black handles or a decent screwdriver. It is practical rather than glamorous, which is often the point.", "source": "Rounded Corner Door Butt Hinges, 18 Pack, Matte Black", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/door-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "What if the hinges are not right for my doors?", "answer": "If the size or corner shape does not match once you compare them to your existing hinges, contact us with your order number and we will sort out a return or exchange under our returns policy.

When the door is closed the hinge is completely enclosed by the timber, so nothing is visible from the outside. The look is a plain gap between door and frame with no hardware.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How are they different from normal butt hinges?", "answer": "A butt hinge has two flat leaves screwed to the door edge and frame, and the knuckle stays visible along the gap when the door is shut. An invisible hinge folds inside the mortise so even the knuckle disappears. That is the main reason people choose them for fine joinery.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How far do these hinges open?", "answer": "They open a full 180 degrees. On a cabinet that means the door swings right back against the side of the carcass, giving you clear access to the full opening. Many concealed hinges stop at 90 or 110 degrees, so the wider travel is worth having.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How much weight can each hinge hold?", "answer": "The listed maximum weight capacity is 22 pounds per hinge. Using two hinges on a door spreads that load, but the real limit also depends on how well the timber holds the screws. For heavier doors, add a third hinge or step up to a larger hinge.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "What size are the hinges?", "answer": "Each hinge measures 44mm long by 44mm wide. That is the footprint you will be cutting into the door edge and the frame, so measure your stock before ordering. Overall closed thickness is not listed by the maker.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "What material are they made from?", "answer": "The hinges are stainless steel with a polished finish, listed in silver. Stainless holds up better than plain steel in humid rooms and resists surface rust. The polished look sits well with other bright cabinet hardware.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How many hinges come in the set?", "answer": "The unit count listed is 2. Check your project before ordering, since a single door usually needs two hinges and a taller or heavier door may need three.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Do screws come with them?", "answer": "Mounting hardware is typically supplied with hinges of this type, but the exact contents are not listed by the maker. If you are fitting into hardwood or a thin panel, it is worth having a few spare screws of the right gauge and length on hand anyway.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How many screw holes does each hinge have?", "answer": "Each hinge has eight mounting holes. Spreading the fixings over eight points keeps the load off any single screw, which matters on a concealed hinge where the whole door hangs from a small recess. Use every hole for the best result.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Are these suitable for a full size internal house door?", "answer": "They are better suited to cabinet doors, boxes and light joinery given the 22 pound rating and 44mm size. A standard internal house door is far heavier and needs a larger architectural concealed hinge. For the best invisible door hinges on a passage door, look at heavy duty models rated for that weight.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I use these on a jewellery box or keepsake box?", "answer": "Yes, this is a natural fit as long as the box walls are thick enough to take the mortise. Boxes are light, so the weight rating is not an issue. Many people looking for the best hinges for jewellery boxes choose a concealed type exactly for that clean closed look.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Will they work on a kitchen cupboard?", "answer": "They can, provided the door is within the weight rating and the door and carcass edges are thick enough to be mortised. Keep in mind that kitchen doors usually need adjustment after fitting, and these hinges do not have the three way adjustment screws found on European cup hinges.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Are they adjustable after installation?", "answer": "Mortise style invisible hinges are not adjustable in the way cup hinges are. The alignment comes from accurate marking and cutting during the fit. That is why it pays to hang the door in the opening first and scribe the positions rather than guessing.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "What tools do I need to fit them?", "answer": "A marking knife or sharp pencil, a marking gauge, a sharp chisel and mallet, a drill with a small pilot bit, and a screwdriver. A router with a straight bit speeds up the recess if you are doing several doors. Clamps help hold the door steady while you work.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How deep should the recess be?", "answer": "Deep enough that the hinge leaf finishes flush with the surface of the timber, no more. Set a marking gauge to the hinge thickness and score the depth line before you start chiselling. If the recess is too deep the door will bind when it closes.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How thick does the door need to be?", "answer": "The door edge has to be thick enough to take the mortise and still have solid timber either side of it. As a rough guide, leave clear material on both faces after the recess is cut. Thin panels or hollow core stock are not suitable.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I fit them to MDF or chipboard?", "answer": "MDF will take them if the panel is thick enough and you pilot drill carefully, though screws hold less well in MDF than in solid timber. Chipboard is a poor choice for concealed hinges because the mortise removes a lot of the core. Solid hardwood gives the strongest fixing.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Do these hinges self close?", "answer": "No, these are plain pivoting hinges with no spring or soft close mechanism. The door stays where you leave it. If you want the door to pull itself shut, add a separate magnetic or ball catch.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Will they work on a lift up lid?", "answer": "Yes, they are often used on lids for boxes and chests. The 180 degree range lets the lid fold back fully. For deeper boxes you may want a lid stay as well so the lid does not swing past the balance point.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I use them on an outdoor cabinet?", "answer": "Stainless steel copes better with moisture than plain steel, so an undercover outdoor position is possible. Full exposure to rain and salt air is harder on any hardware, and the polished finish will dull over time. Dry the hinges after cleaning if they live in a damp spot.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How do I keep them working smoothly?", "answer": "Keep dust out of the knuckle, wipe the leaves with a soft dry cloth, and retighten the screws every few months on doors that get heavy use. A trace of light machine oil on the pivot can quieten a squeak. Avoid abrasive cleaners that would scratch the polish.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I paint over them?", "answer": "It is better not to. Paint builds up in the folding mechanism and will make the action stiff or stop it closing flush. If the door is being painted, fit the hinges after the finish has cured, or mask them carefully.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Do they need a specific left or right orientation?", "answer": "Invisible hinges of this style are symmetrical and can be mounted on either side of the door. Decide which way the door should swing first, then mark out from there. Do a dry fit before any final screwing.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How many hinges should I use per door?", "answer": "Two is standard for a small to medium cabinet door. For a taller door, or one approaching the weight limit, use three evenly spaced hinges to share the load and reduce sag. More fixing points also help keep a tall door straight.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Will the door still shut flush?", "answer": "Yes, that is the point of the design. When the recesses are cut to the right depth the door closes tight against the frame with just a hairline gap. If it stands proud or binds, the recess depth is usually the culprit.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Are these the best choice for frameless cabinets?", "answer": "They work well where you want a plain flush front with no visible hardware. For frameless kitchen runs with lots of doors, cup hinges are easier to adjust in bulk. For a feature piece or a display cabinet, concealed hinges usually look better.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "What is the item weight of the set?", "answer": "The listed item weight is 246 g for the set as supplied. That figure covers the hinges and any included hardware as packaged.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How long does delivery take?", "answer": "We deliver anywhere in Australia with a tracked courier. Most orders arrive within 3 to 7 working days of the order date, a little longer to regional and remote addresses. Delivery is free on orders of $150 or more and a flat $15 under that. You get a tracking link by email as soon as the parcel is on its way.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Do these make a good gift for someone who works with timber?", "answer": "They do. Good concealed hardware is the sort of thing a woodworker is always pleased to have in the drawer, and a set of stainless hinges is small enough to post easily. Pair them with a sharp chisel or a marking gauge for a useful gift set.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "What if they are not right for my project?", "answer": "Contact us with your order number and tell us what went wrong, whether it is a sizing mismatch, damage in transit or simply the wrong hinge for the job. We will sort out a return, exchange or refund under our returns policy. Keep the packaging and leave the hinges unfitted until you have checked them against your door.", "source": "Invisible Concealed Door Hinges (2 Pairs, 180 Degree)", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/invisible-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "What is a lift off hinge?", "answer": "It is a two part hinge where one leaf holds a fixed pin and the other holds a barrel that drops over it. Hang the door by lowering it onto the pin, and remove it by lifting straight up. No tools are needed once both leaves are screwed in place.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "How many hinges come in the pack?", "answer": "Eight hinges in total. The set is split into four left hand units and four right hand units. Screws are included.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "What is the difference between left hand and right hand?", "answer": "The handing determines which side of the hinge carries the pin, which in turn sets which way the door has to be lifted to come free. Having both in the pack means you can hang doors opening to the left or to the right. For most cabinet jobs you simply pick the pair that matches your door swing.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Are these detachable door hinges suitable for cabinet doors?", "answer": "Yes, cabinet doors are one of the most common uses for this style. The surface mount format sits on the face of the door and frame, so no mortise is required. Make sure the door is light enough for the number of hinges you plan to use.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "What finish do they have?", "answer": "The finish is brushed, listed in silver. It has a soft matte metal look rather than a polished shine, which helps hide light scuffs and fingerprints.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I use them outdoors?", "answer": "Our supplier record does not specify a corrosion rating or an outdoor use approval, so we cannot promise weather performance. For sheltered indoor use they are a straightforward fit. If you need a hinge rated for exposure, look for one with a stated marine or exterior grade.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Do I need any special tools to fit them?", "answer": "A drill with a small bit for pilot holes and a screwdriver will cover it. A pencil, a tape measure and ideally a small square make the marking out easier. Nothing else is needed because there is no mortise to cut.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "What are the hinge dimensions?", "answer": "The item dimensions in our record are listed as 10 mm length by 10 mm width. Full leaf and barrel dimensions are not listed by the maker, so measure your door edge and frame face before ordering if clearance is tight.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "How much weight can one hinge hold?", "answer": "A specific load rating is not given in our supplier record, so we will not quote a figure. As a general rule, spreading the weight across more hinges reduces the load on each one. For anything heavy, add a third hinge and choose a thicker door stile.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Are screws included?", "answer": "Yes, screws are listed as an included component in the pack. If you are fixing into metal or very hard timber you may prefer your own screws suited to that material.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can these be used on a full size internal house door?", "answer": "They are better suited to smaller doors, panels and cabinet fronts. House doors carry a lot of weight and usually need a hinge with a published load rating and a larger leaf. Check the weight of your door first and choose hardware rated for it.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "What makes these the best lift off hinges for servicing access?", "answer": "The point of a detachable hinge is that the door comes away without touching a screw, which is exactly what you want when you are reaching into an enclosure. Lift it off, do the work, drop it back on. There is nothing to misplace except the door itself.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Will the door stay on if it gets knocked upwards?", "answer": "Because the door is held by gravity on a pin, a strong upward force can lift it. In practice this is rarely an issue on vertical doors, but for anything that might be bumped from below, a simple catch or latch adds reassurance.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I fit them to a lid that opens upwards?", "answer": "Not reliably. A lift off hinge relies on gravity keeping the barrel seated on the pin, so an upward opening lid can lift off the pin as it swings. Use them on vertically hung doors and panels.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "How do I keep the hinges looking good?", "answer": "Wipe them with a soft damp cloth and dry straight after. Skip scouring pads and bleach based cleaners, which dull a brushed surface. A quick wipe every few weeks is usually enough.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "What if the hinge starts to squeak?", "answer": "A drop of light machine oil on the pin usually sorts it. Work the door back and forth a few times to spread it, then wipe away anything that runs. Avoid thick greases that collect dust.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Do I need two hinges per door or three?", "answer": "Two is standard for a small, light cabinet door. Three is sensible for taller doors or anything with some weight to it, since the extra hinge shares the load and reduces sag. The pack of eight gives you flexibility to do either across several doors.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I fit them to a metal cabinet?", "answer": "Yes, surface mount hinges can be fixed to metal, but you will need the right fasteners. Self tapping screws or machine screws with nuts work better than the wood screws supplied. Drill pilot holes sized for your chosen fastener.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "How do I get the door to sit level?", "answer": "Fit the frame leaves first, then hold the door in position and mark the door leaves while the door is sitting where you want it. Pilot drill, fix one screw per hinge, then check the gap before driving the rest. Small adjustments are easy at that stage.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Are these surface mount or mortise hinges?", "answer": "They are surface mount. Both leaves screw onto the face of the door and the frame, so there is nothing to recess. This is what makes them one of the best options for retrofitting onto existing cabinets.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Will the hinge leaves show when the door is closed?", "answer": "Yes, surface mount hinges are visible by design. The brushed silver finish is neutral enough to suit most workshop, utility and modern cabinet settings. If you want hidden hardware, a concealed cup hinge is the alternative.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I paint over them?", "answer": "We would not recommend it. Paint on the barrel and pin will build up and interfere with the lifting action. If you want a different colour, source hinges finished in that colour instead.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "What is the pack weight?", "answer": "The listed item weight is 280 g for the pack. That is a useful figure for working out shipping, though individual hinge weight is not listed by the maker separately in our record.", "source": "Lift Off Hinges 8 Pack Brushed Stainless Steel", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/lift-off-hinges/" }, { "question": "Are they stainless steel?", "answer": "Our supplier record lists the finish and colour but does not confirm a specific material grade under the material attribute, so we are not going to state one. The listing describes them as stainless steel lift off hinges.

Confirm their door measurements and required hand first, since hardware needs to fit the job.", "source": "Auto-plaza 100mm Rising Butt Hinges", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/rising-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "What if these hinges are not right for my door?", "answer": "Do not fit or alter them if compatibility is uncertain. Contact us about return options and ask an installer to identify the hinge type your door needs.", "source": "Auto-plaza 100mm Rising Butt Hinges", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/rising-butt-hinges/" }, { "question": "What does a self-closing door hinge actually do?", "answer": "It holds a spring inside the hinge barrel that stores energy as the door opens. When you let go, that spring pulls the door back toward the frame. You get the behaviour of a door closer without an arm mounted across the top of the door.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "What size is this hinge?", "answer": "It is 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches, which works out to 8.9 cm by 8.9 cm. That is the most common size on standard interior doors in many homes. Measure your existing hinge leaf before ordering to confirm.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "How many hinges come in the pack?", "answer": "One. The listing supplies a single door hinge plus its mounting hardware. Buying singles means you can order exactly the number your door needs.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "How many should I buy for one door?", "answer": "Most standard interior doors use two or three hinges. Many people fit one or two spring hinges and leave the rest as plain butt hinges. If the door is heavy or does not close firmly with one, add a second spring hinge.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "What is it made from?", "answer": "Alloy steel. That is the structural material for the leaves and barrel, which is what carries the door weight through the swing.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "What finish does it have?", "answer": "Oil rubbed bronze. The finish type is listed as oil rubbed and it is applied by hand so the tone stays even across a matching hardware set.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Will the bronze match my other door hardware?", "answer": "It will match other oil rubbed bronze pieces closely, though hand-applied finishes vary slightly by nature. If you are matching an existing set from another brand, expect a near match rather than an exact one. Many people find that variation reads as character on a bronze finish.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "How many screw holes are there?", "answer": "Six, three per leaf. That is the standard pattern for a hinge of this size, which is why most replacements line up without new drilling.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Are screws included?", "answer": "Yes, mounting hardware is supplied with the hinge.

Many spring hinges use a tension pin and hex key, but we will not claim that for this model without confirmation. Check the hinge body when it arrives for a tension slot.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "What is the maximum door weight it supports?", "answer": "A weight rating is not given in the product details we hold. As a general rule, heavier or solid core doors benefit from spreading the load across more than one spring hinge.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Is this hinge handed, left or right?", "answer": "Handing is not listed by the maker. Most butt-style hinges of this pattern are non-handed and work on either side, but confirm against your door before cutting anything.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Can I use it on an exterior door?", "answer": "The mounting type is listed as door mount and nothing in the maker's listing restricts it to interiors. That said, a finish exposed to weather and salt air will age faster than one kept inside. For a sheltered entry it is a reasonable choice.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Will it work on a screen door?", "answer": "It can, provided the screen door frame accepts a 3.5 inch leaf and the door is light enough for the spring to close it. Look for the best hinge for screen door setups where the frame is timber rather than thin aluminium. Thin frames often need a purpose-made screen hinge instead.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Can I use it as a self closing gate hinge?", "answer": "On a light timber gate in a sheltered spot, yes. For an exposed outdoor gate, a dedicated weatherproof gate hinge is usually the better call. The best self closing gate hinge for a boundary fence is built for constant weather exposure.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for a fire door?", "answer": "A fire rating is not listed by the maker, so do not treat it as a certified fire door hinge. Fire doors need hardware tested and labelled for that use, and that is a job for a certified supplier.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Does it fit a standard mortise?", "answer": "If your current hinge is 3.5 inches square with the usual six-hole pattern, it should drop straight in. Hinge leaf thickness can vary slightly between brands, which may change how the door sits by a fraction. Test the swing before driving every screw fully home.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "What tools do I need to fit it?", "answer": "A screwdriver is usually all it takes for a like-for-like replacement. A pencil, a small chisel and a drill with a pilot bit help if you are cutting a fresh mortise. Working with the door wedged in place makes the job far easier alone.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Can I install it myself?", "answer": "Most people can. Swapping one hinge at a time while the other hinges hold the door is the simplest approach for a DIY fit. If the door is heavy, having a second person steady it is worth the few minutes.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Why install only the top hinge as self-closing?", "answer": "The top hinge gives the spring good use over the door, and using one spring hinge keeps the swing from feeling too aggressive. Plenty of installers start there and add a second only if the door does not latch. It also keeps the cost down.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Will the door slam?", "answer": "A spring hinge returns the door with some force, so a light interior door can close briskly. Fitting fewer spring hinges, or adding a soft door stop or silicone bumper on the stop face, takes the sting out. This is a hinge, not a hydraulic closer, so it does not slow the last few centimetres.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Is it noisy?", "answer": "Spring hinges are generally quiet in use. A squeak that develops over time usually clears with one drop of light machine oil at the knuckle. Loose screws are the other common source of noise.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "How do I clean it?", "answer": "Dust it with a soft dry cloth. For marks, use a cloth barely damp with water and dry it straight away. Skip abrasive pads and solvent cleaners, which strip finishes.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Does oil rubbed bronze need special care?", "answer": "Not much. It is a living finish that can mellow with handling, which most people like. Just avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads and it will look right for years.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "What maintenance does it need?", "answer": "Check the screws once or twice a year and tighten any that have backed out. Oil the knuckle if it starts to sound dry. That is really the whole list.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Where is this product most useful?", "answer": "Pantry and laundry doors, a door between a garage and the house, playroom doors and any opening that should not stand ajar. Anywhere you keep finding the door open when it should be shut. It is the best self closing hinge for pantry door jobs where an overhead closer would look wrong.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "How is it packed and delivered?", "answer": "It ships as a single hinge with its mounting hardware in a small package, and the unit weighs 110 g.

Your confirmation email carries the tracking details.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Does it make a good gift?", "answer": "On its own it is a practical rather than a wrapped-up gift. It does work well as part of a hardware bundle for someone renovating, especially paired with matching bronze levers. Most people buying hinges are buying for a job rather than an occasion.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "Can I buy several to do a whole house?", "answer": "Yes. Because each unit is one hinge, you can order the exact count across several doors with no leftovers. Work out how many doors you want self-closing and how many spring hinges each needs before you order.", "source": "Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/self-closing-door-hinge/" }, { "question": "What if it is not right for my door?", "answer": "Check the size and the screw pattern against your existing hinge first, since that is where most mismatches happen.

It is intended as replacement hardware for a compatible sectional garage door.", "source": "Jsionaction Number 3 Garage Door Hinges", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/garage-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How do sectional door hinges work?", "answer": "Hinges allow joined door sections to pivot as the door travels. Some hinge positions also involve roller support, so the correct design and location matter.", "source": "Jsionaction Number 3 Garage Door Hinges", "url": "https://hingecompany.com.au/garage-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "What does number 3 mean?", "answer": "Number 3 identifies the hinge type in this listing.
