"Wij zijn super tevreden met de wijze waarop Ilias de klus heeft geklaard. Hij reed vanuit Utrecht tijdens de drukste spits van het jaar; met nog 45 minuten oponthoud wegens een botsing van vier auto's vlak voor de zijne. Tijdens die vertragingen heeft hij ons keurig op de hoogte gehouden, en arriveerde om 18:30 in een prima opgewekte stemming. Om de garderobe kast bij ons weer in elkaar te zetten heeft hij met veel kracht, wendbaarheid, en inzicht mijn wensen snel en perfect uitgevoerd. De opdracht had hij goed voorbereid; alle nodige gereedschappen en materiaal had hij in een eenvoudige boodschap tas. Mijn partner en ik vond hem heel vriendelijk en makkelijk in de communicatie. Bij eventuele volgende klussen zullen wij eerst om Ilias vragen."
"Het is klaar. Het ziet er netjes uit."
"Uitstekend! Edwin heeft de klus op een buitengewoon snelle en aardige wijze geklaard"
The cost for replacing a paumelle hinge in a steel frame is €69 per hour. The total price can vary depending on the hinge type, how many hinge points need replacement, and whether the old paumelle is stuck or the fixing points in the frame are worn.
In practice, this type of door hardware job usually ends up between €100 and €300, depending on complexity and how much adjustment is needed afterwards.
At Zoofy, rates are based on averages charged by professional tradespeople, so you won’t be surprised by unexpected costs.
The rate includes certain fixed costs and there are no call-out fees. That way, you always know where you stand.
On average, replacing (and properly adjusting) a paumelle hinge in a steel frame takes 1 to 3 hours. The duration depends on how easily the old hinge comes out, whether fixing points are damaged, and whether the door needs re-alignment.
If it’s a straightforward swap and everything lines up well, it’s often quicker. If extra repair or fine-tuning is required, it can take longer.
A professional makes sure the door swings smoothly, closes neatly and doesn’t drop or rub. The job typically includes:
Inspection:
Checking which paumelle(s) need replacement, the condition of the frame, and whether the door is sagging or catching.
Removing the old hinge:
Safely supporting/lifting the door and removing the old paumelle. If it’s stuck or the fixing points are worn, it’s handled carefully.
Installing the new paumelle:
Fitting the correct size/type and securing it firmly into the steel frame.
Adjusting and testing:
Rehanging and aligning the door so it opens and closes smoothly without play or noise.
Clean handover:
Tidying up and confirming everything works as it should.
