Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your TIMCO Flush Hinges. No specialized tools are required beyond a screwdriver and appropriate fasteners (not included).
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surfaces of the door/cabinet and the frame where the hinge will be mounted are clean, dry, and free from obstructions.
- Position the Hinge: Place the hinge in the desired position on the edge of the door or cabinet. The 'flush' design means the hinge will sit directly on the surface without requiring a cut-out. Ensure the hinge is aligned correctly for smooth operation.
- Mark Screw Holes: Using a pencil or a small awl, mark the positions of the screw holes through the pre-drilled holes on the hinge leaf onto the door/cabinet.
- Attach to Door/Cabinet: Secure one leaf of the hinge to the door or cabinet using appropriate screws. Do not overtighten.
- Align and Attach to Frame: Position the door/cabinet against the frame, ensuring proper alignment and spacing. Mark the screw holes for the second hinge leaf onto the frame.
- Final Attachment: Secure the second hinge leaf to the frame using appropriate screws. Test the door/cabinet for smooth opening and closing. Adjust screw tightness if necessary.
Operation
Once installed, the TIMCO Flush Hinges allow for the smooth pivoting of doors or cabinet fronts. The hinge is designed for standard opening and closing motions. Avoid forcing the door or cabinet beyond its natural range of motion to prevent damage to the hinge or mounting surface.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your TIMCO Flush Hinges, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe the hinges periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication: If the hinges begin to squeak or feel stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pin. Wipe away any excess lubricant.
- Tighten Screws: Periodically check and tighten any loose mounting screws to maintain stability and prevent sagging. Do not overtighten.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Hinge Squeaks: Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to the hinge pin. Open and close the door/cabinet several times to distribute the lubricant.
- Door/Cabinet Sags or is Loose: Check all mounting screws. If they are loose, tighten them carefully. If the screw holes are stripped, consider using longer screws or wood filler to secure them.
- Door/Cabinet Does Not Close Properly: Verify that the hinges are aligned correctly and that no debris is obstructing the closing path. Ensure all screws are tightened appropriately.
