1. Hinge Squeaking or Noise

Possible Cause: Dirt or debris might have accumulated between the hinge parts, or the screws may have loosened.
Solution: Clean the hinge using a soft brush to remove any dust or debris. Check if the screws are tight. Lubricate the hinge with a light oil or hinge-specific lubricant, making sure to rotate the hinge 360 degrees to evenly distribute it.

2. Hinge Sticking or Resistance

Possible Cause: Misalignment of the hinge or dirt buildup.
Solution: Ensure all screws are evenly tightened and the hinge is properly aligned. If sticking persists, remove the hinge and clean it thoroughly before re-installing.

3. Weather-Related Issues (Rust, Corrosion)

Possible Cause: Prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions.
Solution: Regularly inspect the hinges and clean any signs of rust or corrosion. Use a stainless steel cleaner to maintain the hinge. If corrosion is extensive, contact the support team for warranty assistance.

4. Reduced Hinge Performance (360-degree rotation affected)

Possible Cause: Debris or lack of lubrication.
Solution: Lubricate the hinge with an appropriate oil, rotating it fully to ensure even distribution. If the issue persists, check the alignment and tightness of screws.
