There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had to chisel the wood slightly from the doors and the door frames because the original door hinges were not curved as much as the new hinges, but this was not a big deal.
The holes for the screws aligned close enough, so no need to me to modify. If yours has a significantly different, fill the existing holes with a wooden round dowel or carved dowel and glue it in hole. Let dry and then drill new pilot holes that are just big enough for the screws fit tightly.
We have very large molding with a back-band, but no chiseling was required on the facing of the door trim.
NOTE: If the door and trim is very close to the wall, one has to ATTACH ALL THE HINGES TO THE DOOR FIRST and THEN ATTACH TO THE DOOR FRAME. Otherwise the door cannot be opened wide enough to screw the hinges to the door.
TIP: HAVE AN ASSISTANT to help align the door with the door frame. The door has to be lifted off the door while screwing the hinges to the door frame. I had no assistant, so in order to raise the door to the correct height for aligning, I put layers of corrugated cardboard under the door itself to get to the correct height. That way, I was able to hold the door in place with my shoulder while aligning and screwing the hinges to the door frame. After hinges are attached the cardboard can be pulled out fairly easily.
It did not take to much time & very few tools (a little drill for the holes-if not, a screwdriver & hammer will do the trick) to get these hinges in. The doors now lie almost flush with the wall and the wheelchair driver can get through otherwise too-narrow doorways easily.
We shopped around and found the best price on Amazon.
These are sturdy and great hinges.
First, was how well engineered where they? Second, how useful were they.
Answering the second question first is, they are very useful and work exactly as they should. Installing these hinges really opens up the doorway when the door is open. They work G-R-E-A-T! The extra opening space makes all the difference in the world to a wheelchair or transport chair.
Answering the first question is, overall, they are well engineered, but could be slightly improved. They are more than strong enough for inside doors. I do not believe they are meant for outside doors. I was worried that I would have to cut into the door trim to install these. NOPE! They clear the frame, nicely.
The reason for the 4-star review is due to the following engineering slights (I do mean slights, these are not overly bad complaints and I would rate this product 4-1/2 stars, if I could).
- The holes for mounting almost aligned to the existing hinge holes. Not enough to have to perform rework, though.
- The hinges do not come apart at the hinge-pin. This makes mounting a little more akward. It would be easier to screw on the hinge halves and then mount the door at the hinge-pin. Not a biggie.
- The instructions are in small print on the side of the box and are difficult for an old-fogy, like myself, to read. Do make sure to follow the instructions and mount the hinge to the door FIRST. Also, it's not obviously easy to figure out how to mount at first glance. Looking at them for about 2 minutes had it figured out, though.
All in all, excellent product and I plan for more. Order from Amazon, as I can't find them in the local 'big box' stores. Now, I want some heavier duty offset hinges for the front door.
