75 x 48mm Self-Colour Steel Butt Hinges

These 75 x 48mm steel butt hinges provide a practical solution for cupboards, furniture, general joinery and lightweight internal timber doors. Their traditional rigid construction incorporates a fixed pin and eight countersunk fixing holes for secure 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 to coordinate with the surrounding timber. 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 flush against the door and frame, carefully mark the fixing holes and use screws suitable for the timber and application. Align the hinge knuckles before fully tightening the screws. Select the number and size of hinges according to the door’s dimensions, construction and weight.

These hinges must not be represented as suitable for heavy entrance doors or certified fire doors unless separate verified test information is available.
