Not me, mine works great. Have it on metal fireproof door (36") between house and attached garage. Good buy!

I did repair my door with the hinge kit. It has worked fine ever since. There are two styles of hinge kits, so make sure you get the right one. I ordered both before figuring out which one worked for my door.

Hey Sean, It does have a clean hinge however; the bevel on the door does make the width exceed the unit up to an inch. The thickest part of the door is 2 inches, with the seal. The clean hinge covers an inch of that width. Hope this helps.

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!

I don't think so - the hinges are quite stiff (not bendy) and are coated with a black shellac.

Not really sure as I have not had that prob. Are those screws in the bottom near the hinges tight?

I just got mine today and have the same problem. The metal hinges won't budge at all and the device won't fit in the cigarette lighter.

Loosen then tighten screw up may be not quite as tight as in the begining. Add a drop of oil to the hinge. This will make the hinge more flexible.

None, I have had this hinge installed for 6 months now with no problems. It is still a shinny brass color.

Yes, and no. Yes, it does, but I discovered that depending on the cabinet, every hinge is different. So, it's OK if you are using for first-time installation. I bought it as a replacement, and it did not work out. Good luck.

Mine hinge on the right just cracked and I don't know how to fix it either. by the way, the pin on that hinge was never inserted through one of the holes, just a bit of plastic on the right was holding it together, and that was what cracked.

Mine didn't click but opens pretty smoothly. Did you check for any stuck packing materials? Good luck.

I am having to use a hollow core door for mine and I just make sure the door is securely latched. In my first few months of using the BBJ Tower I have not had any issues with it causing damage to the door...the pressure during use seems to be balanced out.

Yes. It needs better hinges. I think that once the hardware is upgraded the problem can be prevented. It looks great, but unfortunately they cut corners to maximize profit.

Hi, I have bought two of this cabinet. The first one was two years ago. Looking at them, they have different hinges. The first one has a more expensive looking scissor type hinge. The second is a basic pin type. I would ask for a whole new set, or look at the side of the cabinet where the hinges mount. Is it bent? They both seem like they are self closing, so if it doesn't close all the way, there must be something wrong with the hinge. Hope this helps.
