Excuse me if I'm skeptical, but lift-off hinges for both left & right?

[most]

I have bought a hinge from Byggmax, they claim it is both right and left hung. If you look at the attached images, I'm very skeptical that this is true...



Or am I completely wrong? I don't want to put it up crooked for it to be straight.

/M

Ps. All the hinges in the store were slightly slanted, so exchanging doesn't help. .dS

The picture shows that it's possible to hang both right and left, or maybe I've missed something. If both hinges are used on the same door, the door will not hang as there are two attachment points.

see no problem, if you screw both onto a door or gate you won't get that twisting. if you only plan to use one, you've chosen the wrong hinge!

There are two pictures of the same hinge, but I will of course use two pieces.
Yes, it can be hung both right and left, but it is definitely crooked. In the upper picture, it differs 2-3 cm over 30 cm.
If the door is to be straight, I have to screw it in crookedly, either the bracket or the rod, and that will look really odd.

Set the brace straight....it is probably not better precision.....

 

[pbengtsson]

If you put up one brace, it will hang; if you put up two, the upper one will "resist" the sagging. It won't be more than 1-2mm if you do it right.

There is quite a bit of play in that type of hinge. But if you use two, the door will still hang straight.

Is it the plug that's crooked?
Give it a smack with the hammer

If you install a hakgångjärn, it doesn't matter if you break the pin or install it crooked from the start, these should be mounted in pairs. TS will have to buy another package.
Edit: I see now that TS has two pairs, so measuring one doesn't give much information.

If you put one on each side, you can open the door both ways.
