SFS Dynamic 2D Door Hinge White Cover Cap Only

Product Information

The way you fit hinges onto your cabinet depends on the design of both elements. The placement of the cabinet and the door will affect where the hinge needs to be fixed and the type of hinge will require different processes to be fitted correctly. A loose top hinge: because this hinge bears most of the weight of the door, if it is sagging or coming away from the top edge, it’s likely to be because the top hinge isn’t screwed in tightly enough, or the screws used aren’t long enough to support the weight. Tightening up or replacing the screws on the top hinge should fix this problem

Many versions of two and three-part drill-in hinges are available for room doors. Many more versions are required for project doors to accommodate the frame profiles, material, load-bearing capacity and loads at each door, for which suitable hinges are required. The various door profiles require suitable hinge parts.Piano hinges: longer than a standard butt hinge, these hinges run along the edge of a joining and are often used in pieces of furniture or on cabinet doors

The demand for concealed door hinges is high. This is because these hinges are not visible on unrebated doors when they are closed. Concealed hinges: these mechanisms perform the same function as butt hinges but can’t be seen when the door is closed, allowing for a smoother, invisible aesthetic Cut the recesses: to make sure the door and frame sit snugly together, the hinges need to be sunk (or recessed) into the door and jamb. To do this, use a chisel and hammer to carefully cut out the section you’ve just traced. Make sure these are at a suitable depth for the leaves of your hingeButt hinges: made to connect abutting surfaces, these hinges have two leaves with a barrel and pin mechanism

Place and fix the hinge onto the cabinet door, either by putting it into the recess and screwing it in or tracing around the hinge, marking the screw holes, drilling in pilot holes and finally screwing the fixing in place. If your hinge has an arm, this should overhang the cabinet door by about half an inch to ensure the door can open and close properlyDoor hinges are exposed to high axial and radial loads. The hinge plates must also be able to absorb the dynamic forces arising as a result of impacts or mishandling of the door leaf. The hinge mounts must be adapted to the various materials of a door frame. They are screwed to or recessed in timber frames, and are welded onto steel door frames. Hinge mounts that can be adjusted in three dimensions and allow the door leaf to be aligned following installation are normally used. Partially inset, where the inside of the door meets the sides of the cabinet, and the outside of the door partially covers its front edges
