38 x 35mm Self-Colour Steel Butt Hinges

These compact 38 x 35mm light-duty steel butt hinges are suitable for small cupboards, boxes, lightweight furniture and general light internal joinery. Their traditional rigid construction incorporates a fixed pin and four countersunk fixing holes for a neat installation.

The self-colour steel finish is supplied without decorative plating. This makes the hinges suitable for projects where they will be painted or otherwise finished. Clean and prepare the steel before applying a compatible primer, paint or protective coating.

Preparing Self-Colour Steel

Self-colour steel does not have a decorative or corrosion-resistant plated finish. Before painting, remove surface contamination, lightly prepare the metal and apply a compatible metal primer and topcoat. Untreated self-colour steel may develop surface corrosion in damp conditions.

Installation Advice

Position each hinge leaf against the timber and mark the fixing holes accurately. Select appropriately sized screws for the timber thickness and intended application. Check that the hinge knuckles are aligned before tightening the fixings.

These light-duty hinges must not be represented as suitable for heavy doors, entrance doors or certified fire doors.
