From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics Review: Happy Wife, plus some installation tips - See below for some installation tips I've learned after installing a couple of these. My wife has been complaining for years about people leaving our powder room door open. Not sure why I didn't think of this idea sooner, but I found these self-closing hinges and thought this may be the solution. Our doors are 8-foot, solid core, and very heavy. I ordered two of these hinges, thinking I'd probably need more than one to close the door without stressing the spring. I installed one, which took only a few minutes. Everything needed was included in the package and the instructions were clear. It's very simple and I could figure it out without the instructions, but they are still helpful in telling you which way the hinge should be oriented, and they also provide a warning not to set the tension beyond four holes for a 90-degree swing or three holes for 180-degree swing. It was a perfect fit in the existing mortise and screw holes. I initially set the tension to the second hole and the door closed and latched fine, but only if it was open more than halfway. I then set it to the third hole and door closes and latches perfectly and more positively, even if it's only open 1/4 to 1/3 of the way. Note, it would latch fine, even with a lower setting if it weren't for the air displacement slowing the door down right before it closes completely. This setup works perfectly, and the door does not slam and closes softly. A few notes and some tips: These new hinge plates were the same thickness as our existing ones, so we had none of the issues some others have had with the door alignment; there was no difference. In setting the tension, I found that when I inserted the wrench and turned clockwise as instructed there is quite a bit of play or slack before you encounter pushback from the spring. That said, you need to turn the wrench initially just past where you start feeling tension, then release it and let it spring back. This is your starting point. If you do not do this and count the right-most hole as the starting point you could end up counting an extra hole that actually has no benefit as you increase the tension. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well, but I posted a video that may be easier to understand. The reason I point this out is that they say not to exceed 4 holes, so if you don't remove the 'slack' in the mechanism first, you'll be counting that first hole as 1, even though you have not engaged the spring yet, so when you count to the 4th hole, you'll have only 3 holes of tension at that point. Time will tell if holds up and I'll update my review if anything changes. Even if I had to install a second one, I would do it as this solves a problem and now wife is happy. I highly recommend these and for around $15 delivered they were a good value. UPDATE 10/17/2022 The hinge is still working perfectly. Also, I installed another one of these on our pantry door, not to make it self-closing, but to try and counter the fact that the door apparently is not installed perfectly plum, so once it's open about halfway, it would swing back on its own and slam into the doorstop quite hard. Because the door is so heavy and has a rack system installed on it, gravity would pull the door fully open with a good bit of force. I replaced one of the hinges with one of these and put the tension stopper pin into the very first hole, right where it would start having resistance. That setting is perfect and now keeps the door in place when opened, so it's just enough force to offset the weight of the door and gravity pulling it. Really simple solution to what has been an annoying problem for years. Review: Works very well - Got this to fix a door problem I have, where the basement door tends to swing wide open if it is left open more than a foot or so. It causes quite a strain on the door jamb. I installed this one hinge at the top (so it would be less noticeable, since it is a bit bigger hinge point than my other standard pin hinges). I was able to easily adjust it to provide a nice, gentle close. I basically set it so that it would just barely close if left open a little but also wouldn't slam if left open all the way and got some momentum going. To adjust, just use the included allen wrench to turn it, then insert the long pin on the side to hold it in position, then reposition the allen wrench and repeat the process until you have the desired tension. Remove the long pin and insert the short pin, then release the tension on the allen wrench and remove it. It rests on the small pin to hold the spring in the correct position to provide the tension. The screws it comes with are just a little longer than my old hinge screws. I used the new screws, since this hinge will create a bit more force on them than the old one. It feels very sturdy and well built. As I noted above, it does stand out from the other hinges, so it is noticeable. I didn't have to adjust anything and was able to use the existing recessed spots in the jamb and door, as well as the same exact screw holes, since my old hinges had three holes in the same positions. ## Features - Satin nickel finish - Durable steel construction; designed for installation on standard 1-3/8-inch-thick doors - Pack includes one (1) self-closing door hinge - Mounting hardware included - Hinges features self-closing mechanism with 5/8-inch radius - Detailed installation instructions included; backed by an desertcart Basics 1-year limited warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07GF54KV8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,957 in Our Brands ( See Top 100 in Our Brands ) #5 in Door Hinges | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Brand Name | Amazon Basics | | Color | Satin Nickel | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,656 Reviews | | Finish Type | Satin Nickel | | Finish Types | Satin Nickel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00841511122160 | | Hole Count | 6 | | Included Components | 1 Door Hinge | | Item Dimensions L x W | 3.5"L x 3.5"W | | Item Type Name | Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch x 3.5 Inch, 1 Piece, Satin Nickel | | Item Weight | 9.44 ounces | | Manufacturer | Amazon | | Manufacturer Part Number | AB-DH550-SN | | Material | Steel | | Material Type | Steel | | Model Number | AB-DH550-SN | | Mounting Type | Door Mount | | Product Dimensions | 3.5"L x 3.5"W | | UPC | 841511122160 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Color:** Satin Nickel - **Finish Type:** Satin Nickel - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00841511122160 - **Hole Count:** 6 - **Material:** Steel - **Mounting Type:** Door Mount - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 3.5"L x 3.5"W - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Amazon Basics Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch x 3.5 Inch, 5/8-Inch Radius, Satin Nickel, 1-Piece, Hardware Included Temp - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jknSILV6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: If a door has three hinges do you need a self-closing hinge on all three or just one** A: Just one, if it is a normal interior door. The heavier the door, the greater the need for additional force and thus more hinges. A heavy exterior door might require two or more self-closing hinges. **Q: Is the tension adjustable?** A: Yes. The coil spring inside can be adjusted with a little or a lot. Door sizes and styles can vary, the tension helps to allow for the differences. **Q: How tight is the tension to push the door open that is slightly ajar? It is a door that the dog uses but I don’t want it clsd all the way just slightl** A: You can vary the amount of "spring" in the hinge. I put this hinge on our hall powder room door because my wife left it open into the hallway all the time. Our 13 lb dog is a mama's girl and always follows my wife into the powder room. When she gets bored sitting there she can easily nose her way out when the door isn't latched (the dog, that is, not my wife). **Q: Hello, how would I be able to oil or grease this hinge if it were to start squeaking?** A: Use graphite powder or graphite spray, not 3in1, wd, silicone, etc. WD 40 and other all purpose Oils/lubes tend to attract dust and dirt to the hinge, creating a gummy substance over time and causing squeaks to come back and hinges to drag. Graphite can get messy but if you take your time it will perform far longer than oil or other lubes will on locks, hinges, pulleys, etc. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy Wife, plus some installation tips *by R***T on October 16, 2022* See below for some installation tips I've learned after installing a couple of these.
