Understanding Different Types of Door Hinges

Each door hinge type has a unique look and functions to suit various door weights, sizes, usage, and styles. Hinges are fundamental for allowing doors to swing open and closed, and because no two doors are exactly alike, there's a specific hinge engineered for every need. Our range includes:

  • Ball Bearing Hinges: Ideal for heavy-duty applications and frequently used doors, offering smooth, quiet operation due to internal ball bearings. Perfect for solid core doors.
  • Butt Hinges: The most common type, versatile for many internal and external doors, where leaves are mortised into the door and frame.
  • Flush Hinges: Designed for lightweight cabinets and cupboards, where one leaf fits inside the other, creating a flush, neat appearance without mortising.
  • Fire Rated Hinges: Specifically designed to maintain a door's fire resistance, crucial for safety and compliance.
  • Tee Hinges: Engineered to hold heavier doors by spreading the weight away from the hinge. 

Which Door Hinge Should I Buy?

Selecting the correct door hinge is crucial for effectively hanging your door (or gate or cabinet). To make the best choice, consider the following aspects of your fixture:

  • Door Weight & Size: For larger or heavier doors, opt for robust options like ball bearing hinges designed for heavier loads. For lightweight cabinets or cupboards, easy-to-install flush hinges are often suitable.
  • Usage Frequency: High-traffic doors benefit from more durable hinges that can withstand constant opening and closing.
  • Door Style & Material: Choose a door hinge finish and design that complements your door and the overall aesthetic of the room or exterior.
  • Security Needs: For external doors or those requiring enhanced security, ensure your hinges are robust and properly installed.

What do I do on the day of my delivery?

We ask that you check and prepare the route the driver will take to your property entrance, ensuring it is safe and unrestricted in terms of access to your room of choice. This ensures we can carry out the delivery quickly and safely. Please note, in-home deliveries are to ground floor only, our drivers are unable to carry goods upstairs.

Whilst our drivers will always take care at your property, we kindly ask that any carpets or flooring that will be on the driver's path during the delivery of your items are sufficiently protected. We would also ask that you remove any fragile items such as ornaments and pictures to prevent any unnecessary accidental damage - this ensures a smooth delivery for all.

  • Inspect Before Fitting - Thoroughly inspect your products within your 15 minute delivery window for any defects or damage before unpacking and fitting. Installed or altered products cannot be returned.

How do I return an item?

We allow a 14-day cooling off period in which you can notify us of your intention to return the item(s), and a further 14-days from this point to send the items back to us. Your refund will be sent to the same payment method that you used to place the order. Under the Consumer Rights Act you have a legal right to reject goods that are of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described, and get a full refund or an exchange - as long as you do this quickly. This right is limited to 30 days from the date you receive your product. Bespoke items such as made to measure doors can only be returned unless they are faulty or damaged upon delivery.
