Ideal Applications / Uses

• Café or restaurant kitchen and service doors

• Commercial building corridors and entrances

• Residential laundry or utility rooms needing bi-directional access

• Institutional settings (schools, hospitals) with traffic flowing both ways

• Doors that require self-closing but dual-direction swing functionality

Installation / How to Use

1. Measure & Prepare: Confirm door thickness, weight and swing requirement. Choose correct hinge size and quantity (e.g., two or three hinges depending on door size).

2. Mark & Align: Position the hinge barrels aligned vertically, typically at top, middle and bottom positions for heavier doors.

3. Fix Hinges: Secure hinge leaves to the door and frame using appropriate screws (use long bolts for solid frames).

4. Adjust Spring Tension: Use supplied tension pin or adjustment device to set spring strength so the door returns reliably without slamming.

5. Test Operation: Swing the door both ways; ensure smooth movement, full return to closed position, and no binding at any swing angle.
   Tip: For high-use doors, consider using three hinges and matching fixings to ensure longevity and stable performance.

Maintenance

• Periodically check that all mounting screws are tight.

• Lubricate hinge barrels/spring mechanism with light oil annually for smooth action.

• Check spring tension occasionally — if door stops returning reliably, increase tension slightly.

• Inspect hinges and fixings in outdoor or coastal installations for corrosion; replace if worn.
