Thank you for asking about our hinge and handle warranty. At our factory, every trash can we produce carries a structural warranty that covers these two critical motion components for a period of five years from the date of purchase. This warranty explicitly includes the pivot mechanism inside the hinge, the mounting brackets, and the outer grip of the handle, as long as the product was used under normal household or commercial waste conditions. We do not cover cosmetic scratches, discoloration caused by UV exposure, or damage resulting from intentional force, such as leaning on the lid or overloading the bin beyond its stated capacity. Replacement parts are shipped free of charge during the warranty window, and you only need to provide your original receipt and a short video showing the failure. Our after-sales team processes every hinge and handle claim within two business days. We also offer an extended two-year coverage at a nominal fee through registered retailers, which makes the total protection seven years. All replacement hinges and handles are manufactured with a reinforced zinc alloy bushing and stainless steel spring, so they typically outlast the original components by 30 percent. If your bin is out of warranty, our parts store still stocks compatible hinges and handles for every model we have produced since 2015. Simply reach out to our support hotline or use the online portal on our official website to start a claim. We believe a bin is only as good as its lid action, and that is exactly why our engineering team stress-tests every hinge and handle to 200,000 open-close cycles before the unit leaves the factory line. Your query tells us you care about long-term reliability, and we are proud to back that confidence with a warranty we can stand behind.
