The Right Door Hinge for Every Door

Every door in the home requires the right hinge to keep it operating correctly. This small but essential piece of hardware comes in many different styles, sizes, materials, and finishes. Finding the right one for the pantry, front door, and closet doors is all about knowing which one will best suit the needs of the area.

Selecting a Size

Finding the right hinge for the job is easy when you narrow your search by the appropriate size. In most cases, 3.5-inch door hinges are used for interior doors while 4-inch door hinges are used for entry doors. Other popular sizes include 3-Inch hinges and 4.5-inch hinges. Larger hinges are also available for special applications.

Types of Door Hinges

Plain Bearing Hinges

A plain bearing hinge is a simple and common design. This mortise hinge features a barrel with a pin that holds it together. It is commonly used in residential properties for interior and sometimes exterior doors. Not all plain bearings feature a removable pin. If that feature is important to you, make sure to take note of it during the selection process.

Ball Bearing Hinges

Ball bearing hinges are strong, and heavy duty in design. Their mechanism requires the side of the door to be cut out to accommodate the plate of the hinge, so they remain flush with the door when installed. Their strength and durability make them ideal for commercial properties and exterior doors that are either oversized or constructed of a heavy material.

Spring Hinges

This durable door hinge offers an integrated spring that works to automatically close a door after it is open. This convenience can be an important safety feature, which is why spring hinges are often used on doors leading to the garage and other external doors.

Specialty Hinges

Discover the right hinge for any project by shopping the extensive selection of specialty hinges. Each of the designs in this category are constructed to serve a specific function. Full surface mount hinges, half surface mount hinges, half-mortise hinges, and strap hinges are just a couple of the specialty hinges offered.

Removable Pin

Removable pin hinges make it easy to remove a door by sliding out the pin, separating the two sides of the hinge. This design is helpful for residential doors and interior doors.

Shapes of Door Hinges

When you are installing or replacing a door hinge, it is important to select a hinge with the right shape. Some of the most popular hinge shapes include:

5/8-Inch Corner: Hinges with a corner curve the same size as the edge of a quarter.
1/4-Inch Corner: Hinges with a corner curve the same size as a door.
Square Corner: Hinges with a 90-degree angle at the corners.
Square Radius: Hinges with a 90-degree corner on one side and a rounded corner on the other side.
Strap Hinges: Hinges with a long, extended side.
Swing Clear Hinges: Hinges designed to fully open, letting the door get entirely out of the way.

Choose a Stylish Finish

Once the type of door hinge is selected, it is time to bring a little flair to the design by selecting a finish. Door hinges come in a wide range of finishes, ranging from ultra-traditional to bold and modern. Consider the overall design of the room and door you are pairing the hinge with when making a selection. Some popular hinge finishes include: black, brass, bronze, chrome, copper, and nickel.

With hundreds of different door hinges to choose from, it is easy to find the correct hardware for every door in the space, all delivered right to your home. Narrow your search by the hinge type and finish, but also make sure to take the size, installation type, material, and weight capacity into consideration when making final selections. Most door hinges are easy to install with the right screws and some careful measurements and changing out existing door hinges is a great way to update a space.
