I have a sandbox covered by a hinged wooden cover--much heavier than a typical door. Will these work? How can I know how many I might need?

I can't imagine these being of any use for anything that opens vertically. They will only dampen the slight weight of a cabinet door. You would probably require a hydraulic dampner.

I doubt it. Sounds like you would need 6 to 8 closers, and then the sand could interfere with their proper functioning. I wouldn't make the investment of time + $.

I have mine on a steel exterior door. I did use two (of the three hinges) to provide more closing force. Works great!

One size does NOT fit all. I still don't fully understand the measurements. Visit http://www.hardwaresource.com/hinge-resource-center/hinge-information/how-to-measure-your-overlay/ , I would recommend ordering a couple to try before purchasing a large quantity. http://www.sh-kts.com/cabinet-door-hinge-difference/ I did get mine to work, not exactly as they were before. And I am happy with the quality.Good Luck

When I purchased, the price was for a single hinge. By the way, these hinges are very impressive in their performance. I have two hinges on a 30" solid door that I made from 1" hemlock. Solid, concealed hinges are my new favorite way to install a door.

Unless the doors have a wooden frame (not too thick, ideal about 1 inch), don't think these will work

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

They wouldn't be very effective on a full size door, they aren't strong enough for that. Even for heavy cabinet doors, the manufacturer recommends using two, from what I remember of the instructions.

These wheels and tracks are made for some pretty significant weight. My doors each weight about 150+ at 6 foot long x 7 foot tall. It bolts into wood and washers are used, so you should be able to pre-drill the vinyl and use them. I would caution the vinyl being heavy enough to force the flex hanger into position to roll freely though. Just be sure to use stops at the bottom of your door to keep it rested against the wall. The flex hanger allows the door to pull away from the wall, so wind could cause it to move since it is lighter weight and vinyl.

I used one (of three total hinges) on my metal 36: fire door and it works fine. My guess is the doors weight in about 100 lbs.

I would think if your door has one closer, not two, you should be fine. I have one of these on a wood storm door and another on an aluminum storm door, both with one closer and they work great.

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

I used 1 restrictor for doors that have 2 hinges and 2 restrictors for doors that have 3 hinges. I suppose the manufacturer would like you to use as many restrictors as there are hinges, but I don"t think that is needed, mine seem to work fine.

that's what I have. The plastic is thick, so depending on the area your door is you may be good to go. My wife was worried about kids poking their fingers through, but did not want to do the work necessary to add a 1/8" vaneer to the door. So, I put down a contact paper and that worked out very well. I stappled the contact paper top and bottom for extra strength.... but personnally, if you don't have kids. Just put it up.....it ROCKS.

Don't know. But if I had a larger or heavier door, I'd put more than two hinges (probably 4... depending on door size) on it.

Cassey, Your frame would have to be 3/4 inches thick. These are designed for a 1/2 overlay. Which means the door would overlay the frame by 1/2 inch. As far as dimensions, the door could be any size. Hope this helpsDennis

I can provide you with the information you are looking for but technically the question you are asking is not relevant to what you are looking for. When you open up the hinge to accept the door or gate you are using there is a slot created between the bent tabs that hold the hinge pins/springs. That opening is the restricting factor that dictates how thick of a door/gate it will accept. That slot is 1-3/8" so it will accept up to that thickness. Hope that helps

They're not super sturdy so two is probably best. In use them more for child proofing than security so one could conceivably work but two seems best. Also don't know about your particular window but I have wooden frames double windows (with the old jnternal rope and counter weights) and they work fine. They just screw into the frame itself and when open are flush enough to allow plenty of room to fully open the window.
