I bought 2 of these for a 36" door (weighs ~ 70 lbs) but the top sags after installing them. Will a 3rd hinge solve this problem?

3hinges is always better than 2. Thats a really heavy door, if it was me id consider 4

Make sure you have the hinges,especially the top one, wound tight. If they are a third hinge 10" down from the top one should do the trick.

I see that the instructions show 3 hinges, and our door sags also with only 2 hinges. We have considered doing the same - order another pair. Our problem is that we ordered the hinges and one was broken. We reported it weeks ago and have not received a replacement.

I have found 2 towards the top and two towards the bottom works better. Those hinges are spring loaded so you have to set it up for balance and the weight of the door. SJAH

You should be able to pop the top cover off the bolt for the hinge and tighten it up. I hope this helps. If not i will try to give you a bettter fix. I have not personally had this problem.

mine is on a hollow core door, but we have over the door hangers for it. weight might be a problem for a hollow core. also over the door allows me to take it to another room or home when we move. over the door hardware was included and does not interfere with closing the door.

I used this hinge (4 of them) to make folding legs for a sign I made for a charity. I donated the sign including the hinges so I no longer have it. The folding legs worked exactly as needed and still do. As I no longer have the sign or access to it I can't answer your question. M

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-

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.

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 bought and installed these on a pair of 36x96 doors I made. I used three hinges per door. They worked great. I would guess my doors at 90 to 100 lbs.

It should be no problem for the hinge to hold the door open @ 85 deg., as long as your door is not over 50 lbs.

Our door is 36 inches and we were fine but I recall it came as one unit with a steel frame that we did not attempt nor believe comes apart. I'm not sure if you could get it to fit in your situation.

That depends on what "just under 36" means. The door should work well with openings as narrow as 35 5/8". Any narrower than that and you may have a hard time opening and closing the door, because the side with the Pivot (Hinge) could rub against the frame/jamb when you try to swing it. If that happens, you could try rounding the edge of the door that is rubbing (by using some sandpaper, or if you're handy and have a small block plane, you could shave off the edge. Hope that helps. Good luck.

There's no gap on mine. Well, the gap is symmetrical all the way across the top, I should say--maybe 1/8 inch or so all the way across. But in wiggling the door slightly, I found there's a tiny bit of give in the right hinge, whereas there isn't in the left. Maybe it's a weak spot in the manufacture or assembly.

hey, I don't know. I'm using it with a 37" and it doesn't sag. It is pretty sturdy/heavy. Check the weight limit on this mount and see what it says.

We do not, have a 72 inch bi-fold but ordering 2 36 inch doors would work, if thats may be a solution to your problem! Thanks Aaron

install a piece of 1'x1' flush with 3 screws flush with the door jamb. make sure the bars won't rub against it.

These hinges are very strong, not sure how tall your doors are but I would suggest placing 3 hinges no need to out 4.

How heavy are these doors? You can certainly stack them to give added strength or put more side-by-side. Other question is how level are the doors? Do they fall open easily or need a "push" to get going? If the doors fall open quickly on their own and are heavy, you might try first adjusting the hinges so they are more level (insert a shim in bottom hinge). If they don't fall open quickly, these will certainly do fine holding them in place.
