Does this include mounting screws?
The supplied product data confirms the hinge with safety prong, but does not confirm mounting screws or additional fixing hardware.
What is a common installation mistake to avoid?
Do not rely on the hinge alone to correct a misaligned door. Check door squareness, hinge spacing and frame condition before fitting.
