Door Hinges

Door hinges are an often overlooked important part of your door kit

As you are are searching for door hardware, door hinges should take just as high of a priority as your handle or lock kits. Door hinges are what allow you to attach, support, and turn your door, and they consist of two plates joined together by a pin. This supports the door and connects it to its frame, thus enabling you to swing it open or closed.

Whether you are looking for a gravity hinge, strap hinge, pintle hinge, H-hinge, action hinge, butterfly hinge, an HL-hinge, side hinge or a dovetail hinge, the right hinge is out there for you.

To find the appropriate hinge for your need:

1. Determine if you need a standard or a specialty hinge.

2. Find door hinge merchants in your area or online.

3. Either hire a professional or seek professional training on installing door hinges.
