Matt Black Adjustable 65mm Hinge | HIN16300CE/MB

Overview

The Eurospec Matt Black Adjustable 65mm Hinge (HIN16300CE) is a Grade 10 hinge manufactured to EN 1935:2002. Unlike a standard butt hinge, it is designed to be fitted into a separate hinge frame plate, which allows the door's position to be fine-tuned after hanging using a removable adjustment stud. This makes it useful for correcting minor misalignment without lifting the door off its hinges.

Finished in matt black, the hinge is sold individually and is suitable for doors weighing up to 60kg when three hinges are fitted per door. As a matt black adjustable door hinge with in-situ adjustment, it is very popular with doorset manufacturers and is widely specified on UK new build housing developments, where fast, reliable adjustment helps installers achieve a consistent fit across high volumes of doors.

Suitable For

This hinge is intended for internal timber doors in residential and commercial settings, including situations where a door needs to be adjusted slightly after installation to correct binding, dropping, or gaps around the frame. It is designed for use with the corresponding AFP163 hinge frame plate rather than as a direct replacement for a standard butt hinge, and is a popular specification choice for doorset manufacturers and joinery companies supplying UK new build developments.

What's Included

• 1 x Eurospec Matt Black Adjustable 65mm Hinge
• 1 x Screw pack

The hinge is sold singularly. A matching hinge frame plate, selected according to door thickness, is required for installation and is sold separately. Frame plates are available in three sizes:

• AFP16334U Matt Black Adjustable Hinge Frame Plate – for 35mm doors
• AFP16339U Matt Black Adjustable Hinge Frame Plate – for 40mm doors
• AFP16344U Matt Black Adjustable Hinge Frame Plate – for 44mm doors

Installation & Maintenance

The hinge frame plate is mortised into the door edge first, using the plate as a template for marking and pilot drilling the fixing holes, then secured with the screws provided. The door is then offered up to the frame so the corresponding mortice position can be marked on the frame, and the hinge leaf is fitted in the same way. Once the door is hung, the adjustment stud is fitted into each plate, with the raised bump aligned to the neutral (0) position.

The plates on each hinge must be fitted with the same orientation, and the door should not be drilled into while the hinge is installed. Full step-by-step fitting instructions are supplied with the product.

To adjust the door after installation, remove the stud from the hinge nearest the affected area and turn it to the required position before refitting: 0 is neutral, +1 and +2 increase the gap by 1mm and 2mm respectively, and -1 decreases the gap by 1mm. It may take a few attempts to get the position right, and all hinges on the door should be adjusted to match.

For ongoing care, check that hinges are correctly aligned and that fixing screws are tight at least once a year. If the hinge becomes stiff, apply a small amount of fine machine oil or a PTFE-based lubricant such as GT85 to the knuckle joint and wipe away any excess. Take care to protect the door and frame finish while carrying out maintenance.
