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.
