Door Hinges

Door hinges are the quiet workhorses of every doorway, carrying the door’s weight, guiding a smooth swing, and improving safety and comfort. Whether you’re hanging a solid-core interior door, upgrading an exterior entry, or outfitting a busy commercial opening, the right hinge improves feel, noise, security, and longevity. This collection covers common and specialty styles, sizes, and finishes to match wood, metal, and composite doors, with options for new installs and retrofits.

• Butt and ball bearing hinges: dependable alignment; bearings deliver smoother, quieter action and longer life on heavier doors.
• Concealed hinges: a clean, modern look with hidden hardware and precise adjustment.
• Spring and soft-close hinges: controlled return for self-closing doors and quieter operation.
• Continuous (piano) hinges: full-length support that spreads load and reduces sag on tall or heavy doors.
• Heavy-duty and gate hinges: robust construction for exterior and high-traffic use; galvanized and stainless options resist corrosion.
• Security and NRP pins: deter pin removal on outswing doors; wide-throw options clear deep casings or trim.
• Fire-rated hinges: meet code requirements on rated doors.

How to choose:
- Door weight and height: use three hinges up to 90 inches; add one hinge for each additional 30 inches. Select bearing hinges for heavier slabs; follow manufacturer load charts.
- Material and environment: brass and steel suit interiors; stainless 304/316 and coated finishes excel in coastal or damp locations.
- Finish and style: coordinate with locks and levers—satin nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, polished chrome, and more.
- Door prep: match mortise vs non-mortise, screw pattern, and leaf size. Common sizes include 3.5 and 4 inches for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
- Security and swing: choose NRP pins for outswing doors; confirm handing; consider wide-throw for thick trim.

Installation tips: use a hinge template or jig for accurate mortises, pre-drill pilot holes, drive longer screws into framing at the top hinge, align knuckles, and test the reveal. Maintain by tightening screws and applying a dry lubricant to reduce squeaks.
