Before fitting, check that the door and frame offer sufficient depth for the 2.5 mm leaf, and that any existing or planned door furniture — such as handles, locks and roses — is also available in a copper or bronze finish. This ensures the hinge does not clash with the rest of the ironmongery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis hinge is not suitable for exterior doors or doors in areas subject to constant moisture, as no specific resistance or protection rating is stated. Use it for standard interior applications in living spaces and bathrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eInstallation and use\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA common mistake when fitting ball bearing hinges is positioning the leaf too far forward or backward, causing the door to sit unevenly in the frame once closed. Measure the recess in the frame carefully before routing: the 2.5 mm thickness determines how deep you need to cut, and a difference of half a millimetre will be visible in the finished closure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a ball bearing hinge and a standard hinge?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA ball bearing hinge has small ball bearings at the pivot point, which significantly reduces friction. This results in quieter operation and a longer service life, particularly on doors that see heavy use. A standard hinge without bearings wears more quickly and is more likely to develop a squeak over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow many hinges do I need per door?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor a standard interior door of normal height, two or three hinges are typically used, depending on the weight and height of the door. For heavier or taller doors, fitters recommend three hinges to prevent sagging. Refer to the door manufacturer's specifications for the recommended positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDoes the brushed bronze copper finish complement other door furniture finishes?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrushed bronze copper has a warm, subtly muted copper tone that pairs well with other ironmongery in bronze or gold finishes. Do check colour names across manufacturers, as shades can vary slightly between brands.
