Hi all
Bit of a numpty Q here :(. Is there a right way up for hinges? I ask because this morning as I closed the dining room door I heard a sound like a small key dropping on the floor. I had no reason to think that a key had fallen from anywhere so re-opened the door to investigate. As the door swivelled on the top hinge it became clear that the pin had dropped out of the bottom hinge :(. This got me thinking that maybe there is a right-way-up for hinges to prevent this. Having used reasonable quality brass butt hinges I was not right chuffed to be fitting a replacement after only ~3 years (doors are mega-light panel type so no real load).
So, is there a correct orientation for these, or was I just unlucky with this one?
TIA
Phil
