Double doors don't close completely since hinges have been replaced. (Single doors close just fine.) They stay open just fine. How do we fix this?

The hinges need to be adjusted. Loosen the adjustment on them and see if the doors close all the way that way. If they do, then adjust accordingly. If they don't they weren't installed correctly or you bought the wrong ones.

Never had that problem. The door was the wrong one to begin with so we sent it back. Sorry I can't help you.

However they are made, if your have your door all the way open, it stays in place there. But if you open it up to about 18 inches, when you left go of it, it begins to slowly close. It closes all the way. We bought 2 hinges for 24 doors and they work great. Also great savings compared to local stores.

I didn't have to trim mine--just replaced where the old hinge was. It was easier to replace one hinge at a time, leaving the other two to support the door up, rather than taking the door off to replace. The hinges did seem a little 'thicker' than my original ones, because now that they are changed, it seems like the doors want to swing open if they are not latched shut. (Also, the pins don't want to come out of the hinges, so if I ever do need to take the doors off, it will be interesting.) Just another option--I bought a couple of packs of these to change out the hinges on my main level, but I ended up spray-painting my remaining hinges (I have doors all over the place!) with ORB spray paint, and I actually like those better--the original hinges do fit into the door better, and I don't have the problem with the doors mysteriously opening.

Mine are brand new now....but from experience, all hinges can leave a black residue unless properly cared for. As the hinges rub with use, graphite (black stuff) rubs off. You must lubricate the hinges periodically. I use a silicone spray or WD40. Use a rag below the hinge as you spray, to keep the dripping off your flooring. Good luck!

Funny you should ask. I had a hinge issue as well. But lucky for Amazon / Simpli Home, I have a very handy husband who was able to rectify the problem (which, there should not have been a problem in less than a month's time). But so far, the problem seems to have been solved.

I did not have this problem. It sounds to me that one of these things is likely: 1. You installed it wrong and you need to take it apart to reinstall. 2. Manufacturer defect. Hopefully you did not close the door and end up on the outside, because then you will have to try sliding something in between the door to push the lock out of the way. It will move even if the door is locked.

I wish I could help but I hired someone to do the repairs. The only thing I know is the hinges were exactly what he replaced. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

I didn't read my response before I sent it. Sorry. My friend had to replace his door and used the part on the new door. He had the old door hinge break off and the old door could not be reused. I hope this makes more since.

We actually had a piece break on one of the door hinges. I sent an email to the manufacturer and while it took them an age to get back to me (I believe I sent a second email) they sent us a replacement set and apologized for the delay. I suggest you contact them.

I've had an issue with the hinges breaking. My bathroom is small and I frequently bump the overhang of the Big John Seat when I get out of the shower. This is what broke the hinges. I replaced them with stainless hinges and I've had no further problems.

Mine works fine, the doors are well held. You can try moving the glass retaining brackets a bit.

You will find two hinges per pack . Be sure to read the weight limits and follow carefully. If your door or doors are heavier then be sure to use an extra hinge on top. I use mine for power wheelchairs and they just bump the door and drive through without any help from me, the door closes by itself and I don't have any problems. Please use double hinge on top of any heavy door-

Sorry can't help. I returned these because they do not fix a broken hinge. They help prevent breaking only.

Sometimes the gate will not close all the way but it should. I think ours did this but after some use it stopped. Hope that makes sense.

It might happen if the doors are not installed properly. Simply adjust the hinges should solve the problem.
