About this deal

Tee hinges are normally used where security is not too much of an issue as the hinges are fixed externally and the screws, if used, can be easily undone. Crackerjacks Handyman Services carries liability insurance and all technicians go through a background check. Small countersink screws are normally used to fix it in position as the fact they’re recessed prevents them from binding and stopping the object closing correctly. Redidrives can be used for a variety of tasks when fixing to plasterboard including fixing small items and larger items such as shelves, light TV brackets and also heavier items such as kitchen cupboards and wall units. As each knuckle locks together it is supported by the one above and below and once the pin is inserted this locks everything together, preventing the whole hinge flexing or dropping.

Today, continuous hinges are used for quite a variety of jobs including cabinets and storage chests/boxes, desks, workbenches and also large versions are commonly used on bi-folding doors. Tee hinges can be bought in a variety of types including galvanised, normal steel, stainless steel brass and others. The ball bearing hinge is an evolution of the traditional butt hinge and instead of the pin just running through the knuckles, small bearings are fixed within the knuckles and the pin then runs down through the bearings. When tightened fully, the scrunched section builds up behind the board and firmly holds the object and fixing on the wall. This is quite a strong fixing so again can be used for fairly heavy items such as medium TV brackets, larger shelves, kitchen wall cupboards etc.Tip: Screws sold with metric system measurements on the packaging will list the diameter first and the length next. Use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the distance from one thread to the next in mms to get this final measurement. These fixings are available in different sizes or more accurately the folding wing comes in different lengths. These hinges are generally fixed between 2 items that then allows the central item to pivot and move and open and close. With many homes today having internal plasterboard stud walls it’s only a matter of time before something will need fixing to one.

Spring loaded hinges can be used on a variety of objects but are mostly reserved for use on doors that should always be closed once they have been opened such as a fire door. To use them a hole the width of the fixing body is drilled using a flat drill bit and the fixing knocked in. Furthermore, brass hinges are more expensive than steel ones and they give a quality look to the completed product.Butterfly hinges, in their lightweight form, adorn jewellery boxes, display cupboards and cabinets and other decorative containers.

It is not absolutely necessary to drill a pilot hole as the casing has a pointed shaft which will make its own hole when pushed and screwed. To measure any other types of round-headed screws that aren’t countersunk, measure from the flat underside of the screw head to the tip. Drilling a tiny pilot hole will warn you if there is anything behind the board and also stop any movement when you insert it. Here follows a ranage of plasterboard fixings that, over the years, we have found to be the best and most secure, however none are suitable for lath and plaster, so see our fixing to lathe and plaster project here for more information.The sleeve bridges the gap between wall and plasterboard and transfers the stress back to the wall, fully supporting the screw and preventing any bending and breaking. For example, a countersunk screw with a flat head will rest flush with whatever it is embedded into, so start the measurement at the top of the screw head. The pivot or knife hinge as it’s also known is essentially 2 lengths of brass or steel that are fixed together at one end to create a pivot, in much the same way as a pair of kitchen tongs work. They are used a lot in cabinet making for fitting cabinet doors as the hinge body is mortised into the framework of the piece and therefore doesn’t detract from the artistry of the doors or other moving parts of the object it’s fixed to.

If the screw has a rounded head, measure to the flat part, where the screw will lie flush with the surface that it’s going to be screwed into. Once a hole has been drilled in the plasterboard and the fixing pushed through, the centre screw is then screwed up which crushes the fixing up and the wrinkles then clamp it against the back of the board.The wrap around feature ensures a fix on the thin edge of the door and frame as well as a face fix allowing 3 fixing points or more on an otherwise weak area. Ideal for use on a variety of thin doors where fixing to the edge alone as normal only gives a very flimsy and unsecure fixing that will likely fail quickly. Unlike a normal Butt Hinge, the rising butt has two leaves which can be pulled apart by simply pulling one leaf off of the pin on the other leaf.
