Door Hinges

We offer several types of hinges, each suited to different applications:

• Fast Fix Hinges: These are designed for easy installation and are ideal for doors that require frequent adjustments, often used for heavy-duty doors as they provide superior strength and stability, making them a great option for high-traffic areas. They are commonly used in residential and commercial doors.
• Ball Bearing Hinges: These are built for smoother operation and long-term durability. The ball bearings reduce friction between hinge plates, allowing doors to open and close quietly and effortlessly. These hinges are perfect for heavy or frequently used doors, including entry and internal doors.
• Lift-Off Hinges: These allow the door to be easily removed by simply lifting it off the hinge. Lift-off hinges are great for applications where the door may need to be taken off in the case of an emergency (eg. bathrooms or toilets).

To measure a hinge for replacement, you need to consider the leaf size (the width and length of the hinge), the thickness of the hinge material, and the pivot point. Be sure to match these measurements with your existing hinge or refer to your door’s specifications. If you're unsure, we can help guide you in selecting the right size hinge for your door.

To determine the correct handing for your hinges, stand on the side of the door that swings towards you. If the hinges are on the left side, you will need a left-hand hinge. If the hinges are on the right side, you will need a right-hand hinge. This is crucial for proper door operation.

For standard doors, two or three hinges are usually sufficient. However, for heavy, tall, or exterior doors, it's best to use three or more hinges to ensure proper support and smooth operation. Additional hinges help prevent sagging and improve the longevity of the door.

Hinge installation or replacement typically requires a screwdriver and possibly a chisel for morticing the hinge into the door frame. Proper alignment and level are essential for smooth operation. To avoid sagging or binding, make sure the hinges are aligned correctly and securely fastened.

Yes, hinges can be used on various types of doors, including cabinets, windows, and gates. However, it’s important to choose the right hinge style, strength rating, and material for the specific application. For example, cabinet hinges may differ in size, strength, and material compared to those used on exterior gates or windows.

While it's common to coordinate the finish of your hinges with your handles and other hardware for a cohesive look, it's not strictly necessary. Many people opt for mixing different metals or textures to create visual contrast or highlight specific design features. The choice depends on your aesthetic preferences.
