Thinner doors do not give the screws enough material to bite into and the leaf may sit proud of the edge.

Measure your old leaf and check the recess depth against the 3mm thickness.

On a new door you will need to cut a mortice so the leaf sits flush with the door edge, otherwise the door will not close properly.

On a metal frame or door you will need the correct machine screws or tapped holes rather than the supplied wood screws, since the included screws are for timber fixing.", "source": "Ball Bearing Door Hinges, Stainless Steel, 127 x 102mm (4 Pack)", "url": "https://hingecompany.irish/ball-bearing-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Are the supplied screws good enough?", "answer": "The hinges come with fixing screws suitable for normal timber installation. On a very heavy door, many installers swap at least one screw per leaf for a longer one that reaches through the frame into the structural stud, which stops the door sagging over time.", "source": "Ball Bearing Door Hinges, Stainless Steel, 127 x 102mm (4 Pack)", "url": "https://hingecompany.irish/ball-bearing-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "How many hinges should I use per door?", "answer": "Two hinges suit a light or standard internal door. Three is recommended for heavy doors, and the 120 kg rating assumes three. Taller doors over about two metres usually get three as well, regardless of weight, to stop the leaf twisting.", "source": "Ball Bearing Door Hinges, Stainless Steel, 127 x 102mm (4 Pack)", "url": "https://hingecompany.irish/ball-bearing-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Will this stop my door squeaking?", "answer": "In most cases yes. Squeaking usually comes from worn plain knuckles grinding together, which is exactly what the bearings prevent.

If you need a lift off hinge so the door can be removed without unscrewing, look for a loose pin or lift off model instead.", "source": "Ball Bearing Door Hinges, Stainless Steel, 127 x 102mm (4 Pack)", "url": "https://hingecompany.irish/ball-bearing-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "What finish will I see once fitted?", "answer": "A satin silver finish with nickel plating. It is a soft brushed look rather than a mirror polish, which hides fingerprints and small scuffs better than high gloss hardware.", "source": "Ball Bearing Door Hinges, Stainless Steel, 127 x 102mm (4 Pack)", "url": "https://hingecompany.irish/ball-bearing-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Will the finish match my door handles?", "answer": "Satin stainless and satin nickel handles usually sit very close in tone. Polished chrome and brushed brass will read as a different finish. If matching matters, hold a hinge next to a handle in daylight before you commit to all the doors.", "source": "Ball Bearing Door Hinges, Stainless Steel, 127 x 102mm (4 Pack)", "url": "https://hingecompany.irish/ball-bearing-door-hinges/" }, { "question": "Can I use these outside?", "answer": "They are specified for internal applications and can be used externally in the right environment. Sheltered, dry outdoor positions are more forgiving than exposed coastal ones.

Skip abrasive pads, bleach and strong solvents, which will dull the satin finish.

A light wipe of the knuckle is usually all that is needed.
