1. Step 1: Prepare the Cabinet Door

   Mark the drilling position for the 35mm hinge cup on the inside of your cabinet door. The hinge cup depth is 11.5mm. Refer to the diagrams below for precise drilling distances (K) from the door edge, which typically range from 3-6mm depending on your desired overlay.

   Using a drill with a 35mm Forstner bit, carefully drill the hinge cup hole to a depth of 11.5mm at the marked position. Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris.
2. Step 2: Attach Hinge to Door

   Insert the hinge cup into the drilled hole on the cabinet door. Align the hinge body and secure it to the door using the provided mounting screws. The screw hole distance on the hinge is 48mm.

3. Step 3: Install Mounting Plate (Sold Separately)

   Determine the appropriate position for your base mounting plate on the cabinet frame. This position will vary based on your cabinet type (frameless or faceframe) and desired overlay (full, half, or inset). Refer to the application diagrams for guidance on mounting plate placement and drilling distances.

5. Step 5: Adjust the Hinge

   The C80 Series hinge features 2-way cam adjustability for side-to-side and depth adjustments. Use a screwdriver to turn the adjustment screws on the hinge arm to achieve perfect door alignment. Height adjustment is possible with certain base mounting plates.

5. Operating the Hinge

The Rok Hardware Pivot Pro C80 Series hinge is designed for smooth and reliable operation. It features a self-closing spring mechanism, meaning the door will automatically pull itself shut when gently pushed towards the closed position. The 155-degree opening angle provides maximum access to the cabinet interior, which is particularly beneficial for corner cabinets and Lazy Susan units, allowing roll-out trays to clear the opening without obstruction.

6. Wartung

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Rok Hardware hinges, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Reinigung: Periodically wipe the hinges with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the nickel-plated finish.
• Schmierung: If the hinges begin to squeak or feel stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving joints. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and dirt.
• Dichtheitsprüfung: Regularly check all mounting screws for tightness. Over time, screws can loosen, affecting door alignment and hinge performance. Tighten any loose screws gently to avoid stripping.

7. Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your hinge, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Problem: Door does not close fully or remains slightly ajar.
  Lösung: Check for any obstructions in the cabinet opening. Ensure the hinge is properly aligned and securely snapped onto the mounting plate. Use the cam adjustment screws to fine-tune the depth and side-to-side position until the door closes completely and flush with the cabinet frame.
• Problem: Door is sagging or misaligned vertically.
  Lösung: This hinge offers 2-way adjustment (side-to-side and depth). For vertical (height) adjustment, ensure you are using a base mounting plate that supports this feature. If your base plate allows for height adjustment, follow its specific instructions. Otherwise, re-check the initial installation of the base plate and hinge for proper alignment.
• Problem: Hinge is squeaking during operation.
  Lösung: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge joints and pivot points. Open and close the door several times to distribute the lubricant.
• Problem: Hinge feels loose or wobbly.
  Lösung: Check all mounting screws on both the hinge and the base plate. Tighten any loose screws. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the screw holes.
