Product Ref: HQ

Shimwell™ hinge packers suitable for use with the blu HY3, HQ4 & FH70 hinge variants, available in 316 satin stainless steel. Traditionally, a piece of cardboard (or worse) is used to pack behind the hinge when installing an external door or correcting a jamb that is out of alignment. However, materials such as cardboard compresses, causing the door to migrate, sag, and bind in the jamb.

Shimwells™ are always installed by the joiner when initially fitting the door, and make it easy to adjust the door when the door swells and ends the inconvenience of having to plane the door down to release the bind. Simply loosen the hinge screws, and remove the 0.5mm, 1mm or 2mm Shimwells™ to bring the door back into alignment.

Each Shimwell™ moves the hinge pin in between 0.5 – 2.0mm and can be used in pairs to create a larger shim to suit more severe gaps.

FH70 Shimwell Packers are only available in 1.0mm thicknesses.

Please check the table below for the different thicknesses we offer in our Shimwell™ packer range.

Product Code: DR121

For removing ‘tea-stain’ spots from stainless steel and other metals.
DR121 is a special deep cleaner that removes oxides from stainless steel. It is a white viscous liquid with a pH value of 3 consisting of organic acids and surface-active agents: it is free from abrasive particles. DR121 is suitable for the intensive cleaning of contaminated surfaces known as ‘tea-stains’. To remove ‘tea-stains’ was never as easy as now. It is certainly not a pickling agent, so it does not attack the metal. DR121 is therefore non-aggressive for metals, but very effective on oxides and dirt.

DR121 is a 100% organic cleaner
This product is also unique because it is 100% organic, so it is without danger to people and environment. So DR121 even is suitable for cleaning machines used in the food sector.

More than a stainless steel cleaner
Although DR121 was originally developed for removing ‘tea-stains’ from stainless steel, it has become apparent that it also gives good results on other raw metal surfaces like copper, bronze, nickel and aluminium. Common white corrosion spots on aluminium can also effectively be removed using this product.

It should NOT be used on PVD coated, powder coated or painted surfaces.

Purchased in either a Kit which includes 100ml stainless cleaner treatment solutions, 100ml protector & application pad or purchased as a 100ml stainless steel cleaner only, we also sell the microfibre cleaning cloth separately if you only wish to purchase the cleaner on its own.
