FAQ
Q
What are the material differences in stainless steel hinges?
A
Common materials include 201, 304, and 316 stainless steel. Type 304 offers good corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor use, while 316 is ideal for coastal or high-humidity environments.
Q
Why do stainless steel hinges rust?
A
Rust usually occurs due to moisture or contact with acidic or alkaline substances. Regular cleaning and keeping the surface dry can prevent it.
Q
How do I choose the right hinge size?
A
Select based on the door’s height, thickness, and weight. Heavier or thicker doors require stronger hinges.
Q
Does the installation direction matter?
A
Yes. Hinges should be installed vertically with aligned pin axes to ensure smooth door operation.
Q
What should I do if the hinge makes noise?
A
Apply lubricant or check for uneven installation or loose screws. Tighten if necessary.
Q
Can stainless steel hinges be used on wooden doors?
A
Yes, as long as the door structure and hinge holes match properly.
Q
How much weight can a stainless steel hinge hold?

Load capacity depends on hinge thickness and quantity. Three hinges can usually support 60–90 kg doors.
Q
What if the hinge becomes loose?

Replace with longer screws or fill the screw holes with wooden plugs before tightening again.

Is regular maintenance required?
A
Yes. Clean every 3–6 months and apply a small amount of lubricant to extend service life.
