i-Teach-u Fitting a Double Hinge - Technical & fascinating Double Hinge

- This video gives a great deal of detail to those trying to fit a double hinge to one of their doors. (It is boring for everyone else and they should not watch it.) When I bought a double hinge it cost me £25.50 and had only three lines of instructions. When I first looked at it I wasn't sure whether it was backwards, forwards or upside-down. Before you fit your double hinge just watch this video and it will give you all the information you need to do it both properly and successfully. The instructions here are total instructions included on 10cm x 7cm set of instructions sheet in 4 languages. Very Important 1. Before installation lubrify with oil or grease in oil holes. 2 Tensioning of Double Action hinges. Tension Ring. 3 Tension lever. 4. Locking pin. 5. For safety, during mounting use protection glasses.
I have written to the makers IBFM and suggested that they put more instructions on their sheet or issue a video.
Obviously once I had got the hinges in place then I tidied up the wood around it.
Note: If you wish to see how the door works with the double-hinge then have a look at the second video called "Part Two of i-Teach-u Fitting a Double Hinge." by JackBarnett21
Sir, you explained this very well. You explained in great detail how to Make a door open in both directions in a very affordable way. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment. The door works well in a busy household and is very useful. best wishes from London.
Yep agree with other comments. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to put this together and upload. Much appreciated. I've seen PDFs covering instructions on altering tension but nothing on actually putting the hinge up in the first place. No comment. Mike
My pleasure. JackBarnett21
Thank you for your comment Wayne7285 - I am a University Senior Lecturer who wanted to put a Double Hinge in between a hallway and a dining room area. I found no instructions on to how to fit the thing and so had to use my own initiative. Obviously if you compare my work with that of most tradesmen or tradeswomen then I would be considered a 'butcher' as you say. My apologies for my shortcomings. Thank you for the comment. Jack.
Thank you so much! Helped me install my swing door!
No problem I made the video because I couldn't understqand what to do first of all and then it all worked out. JackBarnett21
Thanks, Jack. Your video made this project of mine very simple and easy to comprehend!
Thanks for writing. Best wishes JB21
Thanks Jack a great video and annotations, really explained and demonstrated how to install this kind of hinge, I was lost without this guide!
+JIm Janossy That is very kind of you - thanks. Best wishes from London. JackBarnett21
Not only did i get to see how this hinge operates, I got a good laugh. 3:30 in you can start watching. I mean, I have expensive tools to do this stuff, not everyone does...Thanks, Jack
You've done a fantastic job there, nothing that a little decorators filler wont fix. I'll proceed to fit them all round my house. Thanks
Have a pair to fit tomorrow... thanks for your help Jack
+Billy Doheny Excellent - glad to have been a help. J
the info i saw on these hinges (which they sell at lowes for about $20 each) claims that these are surface mount hinges. it looks like you used a beaver to mortise those in. eesh...i guess functionality is key.lol
Thank you so much. JackBarnett21
Very helpful, thanks very much. A double hinge will solve the a problem my mother has getting into the bathroom as it is just a tiny bit too narrow for her zimmer frame now but if we can swing the door out it will fit perfectly. Now I know I can easily do the job myself.
Maybe don't do it like this tho... unless you are a full time butcher
Is there a type of hinge that is similar to this but that doesn't show part of the hinge? I'm needing a 2 way foldable portable wall (one side white, one side black) and both sides need to be seamless so that when it is fully open/extended you don't see any metal on either side. Is there such a thing?
Thank you for asking but I think you should gfo to a specialist hinge shop. When I bought this hinge there were instructions in seven languages on a leaflet the size of a fisherman's friend package. That is why I worked out what to do and wrote these instructions in the first place. The very nature of this hinge is that it will show. best wishes JackBarnett21
thanks for the response. will attempt again and respond...
Thank you, that was quite helpful. :)
PS: Jack instead of using WD40 on the hinges, try a drop or two of light machine oil (sewing machine oil perhaps). WD40 is really more of a penetrating water displacement product, it isn't good for long term lubrication but a drop or two of light machine oil will probably last years.
I thought that you could see it - when I worked on this first of all - what I found was that there was NO information from anyone as to how to put this thing on your door. I mean - I bought it from the shop and there were no instructions. So I worked out what to do and then make these instructions for anyone else as I went along. It is most successful and I must use it at least twenty times a day. Good luck. JackBarnett21
You should not have to cut into the wood for the tension towers. They sit flat. You have these installed wrong. I just did a set of these today. I did not cut any holes in the wood. You should update your video before everyone installs them like you did. Or decides not to get them for an install because they think you need to cut holes in the wood for the tension towers to sit in when you don't do it that way.
The door swings backwards and forwards with great ease. I put it in some year or so ago and it is still working very well. Occasionally I need to put some WD40 on it to keep it smooth but otherwise it runs very easily. Many apologies for not putting in a good couple of shots of the door moving. JackBarnett21
Thanks Jack I had absolutely no idea how it worked !
I can’t seem to understand it and I’m crying because I’m frustrated. My hinges came from Home Depot with stickers on them to say what goes on what but it doesn’t seem right. I’m doing swinging doors so one side will be upside down no? And I can’t seem to understand which part of the hinge is for the front versus the back. Like do I have it backwards or something 😞😢
Hold your hinges in your hand. Watch the video and follow the steps on your door. The essential thing is to remove the door stop. Then next to cut the piece from the door frame so that the hinge sits into the door frame. When you have done this with both hinges then attach the door to the hinges. But watch the video with one of the hinges in your hand. Best wishes JackBarnett21.

Thanks for the comment. Great to be of help. Jack
Hi, thanks for the video. We have fitted on a 3ft garden gate to help with mother in law when carry items. The gate is tilting from top when opening so scraps on far edge bottom. Is it because the gate is too heavy or have we done something wrong?
Make sure the post holding the hinge is absolutely vertical. Strengthen it so that it remains horizontal. It shouldn't really touch the other gate other than with a click latch, otherwise it is not going to be able to open both ways.
Hi. Your video is very informative. Thanks. But your hinge, I think you installed it upside down?
I dont think so but thanks for the comment. Best wishes JackBarnett21
@@JackBarnett21 Sorry, but how do you lubricate it if it is upside down?
@@cdguanzon6270 It has never needed lubricating since I have had it. But thank you for your comment. JackBarnett21
Great Explaination, Thanks
Great explanation - thanks Jack :)
Thank you Martyn I just felt that spending over £25 on something it should have a good explanation not just a piece of paper three times the size of a cigarette paper! Best wishes JackBarnett21 - do subscribe.
Please may i know where i can get these Double Hinges and the price
Why is there a popup at 4:43 saying you are listening to Serpent that covers the final two messages?
CAN I INSTALLED THIS TYPE OF HINGE ON A OUTSIDE ALUMINUM GATE ? So that the gate will swing both ways?--Thanks let me know ASAP I Do Appreciate it....
+Mike Wilson I would think if the hinge that you got was waterproof then it would work outside. There is no reason why it should not. When you go to buy the hinge then ask the shopkeeper or salesman if the hinge you are buying is waterproof. After that you have to make sure that your fittings are waterproof too. Sorry for the delay I have only just got back from a weekend away. JackBarnett21
what size of hinge did you use and how long did it take you to install the whole thing? :)
It was probably no more than 6 cm and it took a couple of hours to fit because I was making a video a the same time. The most important reason for doing this was because the instructions were so poor. They measured 9 cm by 8 cm. I would have expected a small booklet!
JackBarnett21
awesome, thanks. :)
Yes good ,but how to fitting double hunge spring fitting,please shaw me
If you have the double hinges then line them up with the door and cut the gaps that they fit into. You must follow the steps on the video exactly otherwise these hinges will not work. I suggest you watch the video another couple of times and then proceed. Best wishes Jackbarnett21.
I need your help. I put 3 dual hinges on the door, the one on the bottom stays in place but the door falls out of place with the top two. What am I doing wrong???
You need to make sure that these three hinges are absolutely aligned. If the alignment is slightly wrong then the whole thing won't work properly. So go to it and do your measuring properly and you should be okay. Best wishes. Jack
I went to the store and got some help, I just needed to put the pins in, thanks for responding.
Excellent - well done. The other option if they don't work this time is to remove the middle hinge and just use the top and bottom ones. JackBarnett21
I’m having the same problem, everything is plumbed but the door from the top keeps falling forward, seems like there’s no tension holding it tight to the hinge, i don’t know how to resolve, any tips?
All you haters make you own dam video... thanks for posting Jack
Thank you for your comment. Most welcome. JackBarnett21
thanks Jack
+Leo Gerritsen My pleasure - the manufacturer of this hinge should get in touch. Jack
thanks jack most helpful
Great video but rather than butcher the frame how about packing the frame out with a strip the thickness of the hinge then taking that much off the front of the door.
Sorry am university teacher trying to understand an idea rather than a craftsman trying to do a skilled job.
ty sir
Thank you for your brief coded comment - it is almost as lengthy as the original instructions I got with the 'double hinge' and that was in seven languages on the back of a postage stamp. Thank you for y our brevity. JackBarnett21
Cool man, appreciate that!
+Adam M Baldwin Thanks for the comment and the appreciation. Grateful thanks. JackBarnett21
Thank you
That's very kind. Thanks.
Thenks for you help
wow u butchered that door and frame fitting those hinges. love the saw drafts in the door
Wow. You are a dick!
Thats a rough fit, the hinge gets morticed into the door just the length of the swing plate and not the full lenght plus of the hinge. look for other fitting videos to see the correct fitting.
+John Dunlop Thank you you for your words John Dunlop. When there is nothing by way of instruction I am pleased to have got this. Now that there are instructions then you can improve upon the finish. Thank you for your comment. JackBarnett21.
What noise does a dog make? Ruff
Dear Ben Scorgie - Thank you for your comment. The amount of information you gave is equivalent to the amount of research you did into the background of this video. It was 'rough' too. Perhaps you would care to read one or two of the previous replies before you continue 'bitching'.
Good on you sir !!! annoy the haters lol
+Lee Brown Thank you Lee. We use this double hinge daily many times. It works like a dream. Thank you for your comment.
Get non mortise hinges and you won’t have to cut into the frame
Now you tell me - where were you 7 years ago when I bought these hinges with precious little in the way of instructions? Jackbarnett21 anyway thanks for the hint.
I'm sorry I try to be as nice and respectful on my comments.. but I'm a carpenter and take pride in my work. This is probably one of the worst quality work I've ever seen.. I hope this was your own house and not someone else's!
Please don't be sorry. Your reason for working is carpentry. You are a trained carpenter and I am sure do an excellent job. My job is knowledge management. I am concerned with understanding the problem. The problem was to understand how a double hinge worked given that the instructions that came with this piece of equipment were in seven languages but came in total to the size of a postage stamp. I am sure if I were that concerned about the woodwork I would have done a slightly better job. But it would take years to improve the quality of my woodwork. I apologise for the woodwork but the double hinge is explained perfectly.
You would have been better off leaving the strip on the jamb and mounting the hinges on that so as to keep the cylinders proud instead of embedding them. Good effort
BK The reason I produced this video was because the makers had put a sheet 7cm by 5cm of 'instructions' and these were in four or five languages on this piece of paper. Thank you for your comment.JackBarnett21
BK The "strip" is not a strip. It's called the stop and that is obviously in the way if the door should swing in both directions..
DIY disaster!!!! But It made my carpentry college class laugh.
If you could put the instructions of the back of a postage stamp in 7 languages then you would see why I made this video. Thank you for your comments. Glad to be of help in getting your carpentry class thinking together.
JackBarnett21 maybe I shouldn't have made that comment but I'm sure you can understand that is not the way to do it.
Your comment is most welcome. And it is a free world. If you consider my work is a little rough - I'm sorry. But every day I walk through the doorway with the double hinges on it and it works perfectly. Next time it needs fixing I will use the royalties earned from this video to pay a real craftsman!!
However the door works perfectly five years later. And it is used dozens of time a day.
Ha ha jack keeps defending his door. Glad to hear it's working but man you butchered that door. You remind me of my step dad who is 80 now and completely butchered his house .... BUT... It all worked ha ha. One day I will go in there and rip all of it out and make the house look better than a shed... lol
Is that the Predator I hear at 0:35
No it is someone trying to give you help with your double hinge. Happy New Year , let's hope your door swings easily both ways. JackBarnett21
If you fitted this to my door I would be charging you for a new door
I agree. But then I am not a qualified carpenter I am a university teacher trying to work things out. And it works. despite there being few if any instructions. JackBarnett21

Unfortunately I don't understand your comment. I will try to translate it in Google. Thanks.
these hinges can be placed stop of is a translation of what you said. And? Best wishes Jack Barnett 21
A tutorial with the hard way to ruin a perfectly fine door.
The best thing about the door is the fact that it now has a double hinge. jackbarnett21
Completely incorrect instruction. With two way hinges a hanging strip needs to be fitted, much like a door stop on the hinge side, you can’t fit these straight on to the door liner hence the mess you made recessing the barrels into the frame, also by recessing it’s almost impossible to adjust the spring loading system.
Thank goodness you have come along. Five years ago this could have been really useful. If I had found these instructions in the packet with the original hinges look at the trouble I could have avoided. Thank you so much for your assistance. Perhaps I should put your name up with mine.

Who cares if it's rough, I liked it, so many shitty people in the world, just keep the negativity to yourselves
Thank you for the comment. The answer to all the protesters is in the notes below the video. Craftsmen have real skills. My skills were in translating 'no instructions' into an real explanation. Best wishes Jack B21
I take it that this video is really only supposed to illustrate how the hinges work, fitting to a door in this manner, is really not good.these are really only supposed to be hung on swing doors, similar to louver doors where they can be fitted on the stile without any cutting into the doors or frames.what was done to the door frame and doors are terrible,
Thank you for your comments. It is true I bought a double hinge with no real instructions. I worked out how to fit the hinge and put them on my door. I was concerned only with the working of the hinge and I missed the finer points of carpentry that it takes a skilled person years to pick up. Best wishes JackBarnett21
@@JackBarnett21 Hi Jack please don't think I was being offensive in any way and for you take time out and provide everyone a youtube video that was very commendable. well done! take care during this time best regards Graham

What a freaking hacked job!
Thank you for your kind remark. My subject is 'Knowledge Management' and this video has spread knowledge to half a million people. What has your comment added to? I don't claim to be the world's best woodworker. If you read the other comments then you will see where this venture started. How have you helped to further knowledge? jackbarnett21
You really butchered your door rofl
Thank you for your comment. As a university lecturer I was more concerned about the working of the double hinge. I am sure I could have done more to make the door more attractive when I had finished.
that is horrific. what a mess!!!!
Honestly you would think this guy is an academic looking at the way to make a double hinge work instead of an actual craftsman worrying about how it looks. Oh yes with two masters degrees and two ordinary degrees you may be right! JackBarnett21
JackBarnett21 what?!? What does that even mean ?!? I’m saying you butchered up the door jamb and it looks awful. You could easily could made it functional without carving out wood like an animal. I’d be embarrassed to put that work on the Internet
Why on earth do people pretend like they're qualified to teach others how to do a something when they have obviously never done it before themselves. I don't want to be mean, but the title of your video implies that you are a teacher and you know what you're doing. It is a huge misrepresentation or as my Grandma used to say, "A big fucking lie!" You know it and I know it, as does everybody else who has ever done any of this kind of work! So who is left? I'll tell you who is left, the poor inexperienced guy who follows your instructions, and consequently butchers up their own house. Then they end up paying tons of money to get it fixed because there is no way in hell that their wives are ever going to shut up about how terrible it looks. You would re-title this video with something more appropriate if you have a conscience! The ball is in your court, Jack Barnett.
The good thing about this video is that it puts some knowledge into the frame. Yes you are right I am a well qualified teacher, having two masters degrees and a BA and a distinction at a teacher's training college certificate. But yes I was the first one to find a double hinge and put it on TH-cam. It had a piece of paper the size of three stamps and all the instructions on it were in three languages at least. But thank you for your good words. I am sure you are well qualified to find something with few instructions and make them clearer.
Best wishes to you for the future. If there are any other of my 1700 films you would like to give me your opinion of I would welcome you deep insights.
Don't give up your day job . Rough as a badgers arse
I am a university senior lecturer who wanted to put up a double plug with no instructions given. As to the roughness of certain features of badgers you sound like quite an expert! Thanks for the comment. Good luck.
Sorry but being a carpenter & joiner with 30 years in the trade it is rough
Some of the most important people in the world were carpenters. JC for example.!! Best wishes Jack
rough as fk
+Chris Trivett Sadly I think you are right Chris. It is okay working out how things work but I lack the real skills that a genuine carpenter would have. Many apologies for the roughness of the work. Jack
He wasted alot of time showing us how he's taking off the old hinges we are not interested in that cut the crap go straight to fittng the double hinge
When he got the original with all the explanations on a sheet the size of three postage stamps he tried to put more of an explanation in there. You just can't get the right balance can you.

I had another look at these hinges and I think they are probably nearer to 11.6 in length. It is amazing that you have a picture in your mind but the picture is just not exact enough. With best wishes JackBarnett21
