Using this Deltana hinge is easy. First, make sure your door and frame are clean and free of debris. Align the hinge with the pre - drilled holes on the door and frame, then use the #10 x 1 wood screws to secure it in place. When installing, take your time to ensure the hinge is straight for smooth door operation. As for maintenance, wipe the hinge regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking its best. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. If you notice any squeaking, a small amount of lubricant can be applied to the moving parts. Also, check the screws periodically to make sure they are tight. This way, your hinge will continue to serve you well for years to come.
