Who's the manufacturer of these expandable hinges? We have DMI's installed and after ten year the door sags so much that it's hard to close.

Bottom of box notes that they were manufactured for:Briggs Healthcare, 1931 Norman Drive, Waukegan, IL 60085, (made in China). Hope this helps. The hinges have been a perfect answer for our small doorway.

I am not sure.. the packaging is gone, but the doors they are on are very lightweight. They seemed to be fine so far, but I have only had them about two months or so. The contractor I asked to use them had never seen them before and had to study them to put them on.

The round part fits in the hole, but the screw holes on these do not align with the old holes - you will have to drill 2 more holes. Don't know why. Other replacements I bought had the screw holds on the door side in the center of the place. These holes are offset just a tad. Other than that they fit. For new installation they should be fine-- I just don't want to be re-drilling all the time. Actually I want all these euro-hinges gone from the house, but there must be 60 of them all told. Seems like at least one or two have broken springs at any given time and make a cracking noise when opening and closing the door. I hate them... but hey, that's just me.

I can provide you with the information you are looking for but technically the question you are asking is not relevant to what you are looking for. When you open up the hinge to accept the door or gate you are using there is a slot created between the bent tabs that hold the hinge pins/springs. That opening is the restricting factor that dictates how thick of a door/gate it will accept. That slot is 1-3/8" so it will accept up to that thickness. Hope that helps

Both of mine were weak so I replaced both. Your concern is a good one because they are VERY stiff when first installed. It took both hands to pull the rear "door" down. However, after a few months it becomes easier to pul down. Hope that helps.

Not sure, but these are really heavy duty. We have 8' tall, thick alder doors 4 hinges per door and they feel really nice.

Wish I could answer your question but I'm afraid my answer might not be an accurate one. I installed these hinges on a home I was selling. (Updating everything) So, I only had them on the doors for a month or two before the house sold. They were flawless...replacement of the old hinges was extremely easy, fast, and went like "clockwork." With a cordless, only took a minute or two per door. I did not notice any "black" but my time with them was extremely limited. My home sold for higher than my asking price in literally a couple of days (small bidding war) because my home was so updated. That's the best I can do.

we put them in a 2 foot opeing and they close properly. and they fit just as pictured. We installed them with the standard hinges and we are very pleased. We installed them on our kitchen cupard so they get a lot of use. Very satisfied. I hope this answers your question

All I know is the older models have a problem with the hinges breaking. I don't know if they have solved this problem or not.

yes. loosten the screws, and pull, or adjust the door, to your desire, and re tighten the screws. i had to do this also, just replacing the hinges will not guarentee proper alighnment of doors. the weight of the doors needs to be taken off, or alighned for proper level looks.

I don't know, but you could order one of these and take it to a store selling hinges - I bet you could find a match. My hinges are inside hinges, so I didn't need to worry about it. Good luck

Are you asking how to install them without the door closing while you're doing the install? If so, we installed to the door then held it up like it would be when it was shut and screwed the hinge to the cabinet frame. If you're asking if the self-closing is optional, no its not. Like Kemosabe said, its a wonderful feature, but it's not optional, so you'll need to find different hinges if you don't want that feature.

It looks like you could repair it yourself. The hinges appear to just have screws. If not, call the manufacturer help line to see what they advise.

Make sure you get as long of an extended warranty as you can get on this model. Ours like many had the door latch failure after about 1.5yrs. SOL for us...
