Solutions to looseness and detachment problems of double-axis hinge
Double-axis hinges are widely used in various furniture and doors. However, looseness and detachment problems often occur after a period of use, which affects the normal use of the hinge. Here are some solutions to these problems.
Tightening screws
1. Check the screws on the hinge and tighten them if they are loose. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws in a clockwise direction. Be careful not to overtighten, as this may damage the hinge or the door.
Replacing screws
2. If the screws are worn or damaged, replace them with new ones. Choose screws of the same size and material as the original ones. Insert the new screws and tighten them firmly.
Adjusting the hinge position
3. If the hinge is loose due to the position, adjust the position of the hinge. Use a level to check if the hinge is horizontal and vertical. If it is not, adjust the position of the hinge until it is level.
Adding shims
4. If the hinge is still loose after adjusting the position, add shims between the hinge and the door or frame. Shims can be made of cardboard, plastic or metal. Insert the shims between the hinge and the door or frame until the hinge is tight.
Replacing the hinge
5. If the hinge is severely damaged or cannot be repaired, replace it with a new one. Choose a hinge of the same size and material as the original one. Remove the old hinge and install the new one according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cleaning and lubricating the hinge
6. Regularly clean the hinge with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Lubricate the hinge with a lubricant to reduce friction and prevent rust. Use a lubricant that is compatible with the hinge material.
Regular maintenance
7. Regular maintenance can prevent looseness and detachment problems of double-axis hinges. Check the hinges periodically and tighten the screws if necessary. Clean and lubricate the hinges regularly. Replace the hinges if they are severely damaged or worn out.
