Istruzioni per l'installazione
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your hinges. If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to consult a professional.

- Nastro di misurazione
- Scalpello
- Martello
- Forare con punte adeguate
- Cacciavite (manuale o elettrico)

Fasi di installazione:
- Prepare Door and Frame: Ensure that the door and door frame are properly prepared with mortises (recesses) that match the dimensions of the hinge leaves (3.5" x 3.5" with 5/8" radius corners). The depth of the mortise should allow the hinge leaf to sit flush with the surface.
- Segnare i fori per le viti: Place one hinge leaf into the prepared mortise on the door edge. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the screw holes. Repeat this for all hinges on the door.
- Praticare i fori pilota: Using an appropriate drill bit (slightly smaller than the screw diameter), drill pilot holes at the marked locations. This prevents wood splitting.
- Fissare le cerniere alla porta: Secure the hinge leaves to the door using the provided screws. Ensure the hinges are flush and firmly attached.
- Position Door: Carefully position the door within the door frame, aligning the hinges on the door with the mortises on the frame. Use shims if necessary to maintain proper spacing.
- Mark Frame Screw Holes: Once aligned, mark the screw holes on the door frame through the hinge leaves.
- Drill Pilot Holes (Frame): Drill pilot holes into the door frame at the marked locations.
- Attach Hinges to Frame: Secure the hinges to the door frame using the remaining screws.
- Operazione di prova: Open and close the door several times to check for smooth operation and proper alignment. Adjust screws if necessary to achieve optimal performance.
Importante: Always use appropriate safety gear, such as safety glasses, during installation.

Manutenzione
Regular maintenance can extend the life and ensure the smooth operation of your Emtek hinges.
- Pulizia: Clean the hinges periodically with a soft, damp panno. Evitare detergenti abrasivi o prodotti chimici aggressivi, poiché possono danneggiare la finitura.
- Lubrificazione: For optimal performance, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pin and knuckles annually, or if squeaking occurs. Wipe off any excess lubricant.
- Viti di serraggio: Periodically check all mounting screws for tightness. Loose screws can lead to door sagging or improper operation. Tighten gently to avoid stripping the screw heads or wood.
- Ispezione: Inspect hinges for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace hinges if significant damage is observed.
