OK, so they swing both ways . . .
I am having grief with 'em . . .the first door I tried to hang was a fire door and was quite obviously heavier than they were rated for. So I built a door, much lighter and with a vision window. they still wouldn't hold the door. So now I have upgraded to the biggest baddest hinges I can find. Only thing is, they are slightly different to the original hinges and didn't come wiht instructions . . .
here are the original hinges :
the instructions specified that hinges be fitted so that the spring adjustment holes were at the top of hinge . . .
and here are the new hinges:
wiht one set of adjusters at the top and the other at the bottom!
my question is thus:
does it make any difference which way up I mount the hinges???!!
thanks for any input,
cheers
