A Short Buyer’s Guide for Door Hinges
When choosing your hinges, one factor you'll have to consider is the weight of your door. Installing a heavyweight door on a lightweight hinge will cause the hinge to sag and the door to break.
- One of the common types of hinges is mortise hinges. These hinges are an ideal part of the door furniture you can add to hold heavyweight doors up. Ball bearing, plain bearing, and spring hinges are the three types of popular mortise hinges.
- Concealed or European hinges are ideal for cupboard doors. These hinges are well hidden and mounted on the inside.
- For both heavy and lightweight doors, the ideal hinge would be the knuckle hinge. These hinges are known to be exceptionally durable.
Choosing hinges is not something one considers when starting your door shopping; however, this is an incredibly crucial factor to consider as it will avoid unnecessary damages.
