3. Installatie en installatie

3.1 Benodigde hulpmiddelen

• Kruiskopschroevendraaier
• Potlood
• Meetlint
• Boren (optioneel, voor voorboorgaten)

3.2 Installatiestappen

1. Voorbereiding: Ensure the door frame and door edge are clean and free of debris. If replacing old hinges, remove them and clean the mortise (recessed area).
2. Hinge Placement: Position the hinge leaf on the door frame or door edge, aligning it with the existing mortise or marking the desired location for a new mortise. The hinge pin should face upwards.
3. Marking Screw Holes: Use a pencil to mark the center of each screw hole through the hinge.
4. Drilling Pilot Holes (Recommended): For new installations or if existing holes are stripped, drill small pilot holes (smaller than the screw diameter) at each marked point. This prevents wood splitting.
5. Attaching Hinge Leaf: Secure one leaf of the hinge to the door frame or door edge using the provided screws. Do not overtighten.
6. Repeat for Second Leaf: Attach the second hinge leaf to the corresponding surface (door or frame).
7. Deurmontage: Align the hinge knuckles of the door and frame, then insert the removable hinge pin from the top. Tap gently with a hammer if necessary to fully seat the pin.
8. Testen: Open and close the door several times to ensure smooth operation and proper alignment. Adjust screws if needed.

4. Onderhoud

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your Everbilt hinges.

• Schoonmaak: Wipe hinges periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the chrome finish.
• Smering: If hinges begin to squeak, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or a few drops of light machine oil to the hinge pin and knuckles. Operate the door several times to distribute the lubricant.
• Schroefvastheid: Periodically check all mounting screws for tightness. Loose screws can lead to door sagging or misalignment. Tighten any loose screws gently to avoid stripping.

5. Probleemoplossing

• Squeaking Hinge: Breng smeermiddel aan op de scharnierpen en de gewrichten zoals beschreven in het gedeelte Onderhoud.
• Loose Door / Door Sagging: Check all hinge mounting screws. Tighten any loose screws. If screw holes are stripped, consider using longer screws or wood filler to secure the screws more firmly.
• Deur sluit niet goed: This can be due to misalignment. Check if hinges are properly seated in their mortises and if all screws are tight. Minor adjustments to screw tightness can sometimes correct alignment issues.
