Embark on a journey into the world of door hinges, where functionality meets finesse. Our collection, from the basic butt hinges to the specialized types, ensures your doors open and close with ease.
At the heart of every side hung door's movement lies a hinge or pivot. A standard door hinge is comprised of two leaves joined in the centre by a knuckle. The hinge leaves are usually even in size and joined with five knuckles. This is a common type of hinge often referred to as a butt hinge.
Overall size, bearings, material, and finish can all vary but the job they perform is the same. Hinges bear the weight of the door, holding it securely to the door frame at the hinge stile. The lock stile of the door opens and closes, pivoting from the hinges.
Hinges can allow doors to open to 180° but the opening can be restricted by the frame, a door closer, or surrounding objects. Pivot hinges and floor springs also bear the weight of a side hung door and allow it to easily open and close. They are fixed to the top and bottom of a door leaf, not vertically up one edge like standard hinges for doors.
Selecting the right hinge for your type of door is crucial. Whether it's for interior or exterior doors, a lightweight boarded door, a heavy duty timber fire door, or a decorative cabinet, each requires a specific type of hinge. Our collection includes everything from ball bearing hinges for smooth operation to heavy duty hi-load hinges from well known brands such as Royde and Tucker.
Ensure the hinge you select can accommodate the weight of the door leaf, plus any door hardware. The width of the door affects the forces on the leaf, as does having a door closer fitted. The weight rating of hinges often refers to the adjusted door weight, which allows for these external forces. As an example, a door closer with backcheck function can add up to 75% to the adjusted door weight.
It is typical to hang a full size commercial door on 3no hinges. Internal residential doors can be hung with 2no hinges, weight allowing. However, all fire rated doors should be hung on a minimum of 3no CE marked butt hinges.
It is always best to check any fire test evidence to ensure the correct quantity of hinges are installed in the tested positions. They should be installed with intumescent ironmongery protection as per the test evidence too.
When replacing a hinge like for like remember to measure the hinge fully open for a perfect fit. The overall height, width, thickness, and knuckle diameter are the four key measurements to check when retrofitting door hinges in your facility.
