Emtek 91013-US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What doors are these 3.5" x 3.5" hinges designed for?
These residential grade hinges fit standard interior and exterior doors up to 1-3/4" thick. Best for doors up to 32" wide and medium weight applications. Verify door specifications before installation.
2) Are these hinges handed or universal?
These are non-removable pin hinges that work for both left and right hand doors. The hinge orientation determines swing direction during installation.
3) What is the difference between plain bearing and ball bearing hinges?
Plain bearing hinges use friction surfaces between knuckles. They cost less than ball bearing models but require more force to operate. Suitable for residential doors with moderate use.
4) What does the plated steel finish provide?
Plated steel offers corrosion resistance and durability for interior applications. The plating prevents rust and provides a smooth surface. Check manufacturer specifications for exterior use recommendations.
5) How many hinges do I need per door?
Standard doors up to 60" tall need 2 hinges. Doors 60"-90" tall require 3 hinges. Heavy doors or those over 90" tall need additional hinges. This listing includes one pair (2 hinges).
6) What are square corners versus radius corners?
Square corners have 90-degree angles at hinge leaf corners. Radius corners are rounded. Square corners provide a sharper, more traditional appearance and easier mortising in some applications.
7) Do these hinges meet building code requirements?
These are residential grade hinges suitable for interior doors. For fire-rated doors or commercial applications, verify code compliance with local authorities. Check manufacturer listings for specific certifications.
8) What tools are needed for installation?
You need a drill, chisel, screwdriver, measuring tape, and level. Use manufacturer template for proper mortise dimensions. Pre-drill screw holes to prevent wood splitting.
9) How deep should hinge mortises be cut?
Mortise depth equals hinge leaf thickness for flush installation. Too shallow creates binding. Too deep causes gaps. Test fit before final installation and adjust as needed.
10) Can these hinges be adjusted after installation?
Limited adjustment available by shimming behind hinge leaves or slightly enlarging screw holes. Major adjustments require remortising. Proper initial installation minimizes adjustment needs.
11) What maintenance do plain bearing hinges require?
Apply light machine oil or 3-in-1 oil to pin and bearing surfaces annually. Clean dirt buildup from knuckles. Tighten loose screws. Replace if binding or excessive play develops.
12) Are replacement parts available for these hinges?
Contact Emtek for replacement pins or other components. Complete hinge replacement is often more cost-effective than individual parts. Keep spare hinges for matching finish and operation.
