FAQs we normally get from customers

Do we need to use 3 or 4 Hinges on a Casement Door?

For a standard door of 900 mm width x 2200 mm height, only 3 pieces of 3D Hinge are required.  For larger doors of around 1000 mm width x 2400 mm height only, 4 pieces are required.

Why the Silver finish?

It is a perfect match on a laminated uPVC Casement door of Anthracite Grey and any other lighter shades.

 What is the reason for the Casement door sash sagging?

It can be attributed to the load bearing capability of the 3D Hinge or improper fitment. 3D Hinges come in two parts – Frame side and Sash side.  Both the parts must be screw fixed into the Steel reinforcement to avoid sagging over a period of time.
