FAQs
What is the weight capacity of these hinges?
The hinges have a load capacity of approximately 50kg or 100lb, making them suitable for most standard coffee table conversions.
Are these hinges suitable for outdoor furniture?
While made of anti-rust steel, they are best suited for indoor furniture. Prolonged outdoor exposure may affect their longevity.
Do I need special tools to install these hinges?
Basic tools like a screwdriver and potentially a drill for pilot holes are usually sufficient. Specific screw types may vary based on your furniture material.
Can I use these hinges on a glass coffee table?
These hinges are designed for wooden or composite materials. Attaching them to glass would require specialized mounting hardware not typically included and professional expertise.
How many hinges do I need for one coffee table?
Typically, two hinges are used per coffee table to ensure stability and even lifting. Always check your specific table design.
What is the expected lifespan of these hinges?
Made from heavy-duty steel with anti-rust properties, they are designed for durability under normal indoor use. Lifespan depends on usage frequency and load.
Troubleshooting
Hinge is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure hinges are correctly aligned and parallel. Check for any obstructions. If stiffness persists after initial use, apply a small amount of light lubricant to pivot points.
Table does not lift smoothly
Verify that the hinges are installed at an equal distance from the edges and are perfectly level with each other. Check that the load is balanced on the tabletop.
Hinge makes squeaking noises
Apply a small amount of light household oil to the hinge pivot points and moving parts.
Table collapses unexpectedly
Confirm that the total weight of the tabletop and items placed on it do not exceed the 50kg (100lb) capacity. Ensure all screws are securely tightened.
