Before you start hanging your doors, check out the important questions and answers below. 

How do you install door hinges?

Follow these steps to easily install your door hinges:

• Measure and mark the hinge positions on the door and door frame.

• Chisel a shallow recess into the door and frame for the hinge leaves (if required). This ensures the door can be closed properly. 

• Attach the hinges to the door using the necessary screws or fixings.  

• Attach the door to the frame.

• Test the door’s movement to ensure it swings smoothly and can be closed properly. 

How do you choose the right type of door hinge?

Here are some important factors to consider when choosing the perfect solution for your project:

• Type of hinge: Butt hinges, concealed hinges, flush hinges and spring hinges are some of the many popular options. 

• Material: Brass, chrome, stainless steel and powder-coated finishes are standard choices, each with its own unique benefits, functionality and style.   

• Load and door weight: Heavier doors require stronger hinges for adequate security, so ensure the load-bearing capacity caters to your door’s weight. 

• Number of hinges: Doors typically have three hinges, but you may need to consider using more for heavy-duty options.   

• Function: Consider fire-rated, corrosion-resistant options based on your needs.

• Aesthetic preferences: Choose a product with a finish that suits your door’s style. 

How do you maintain door hinges?  

While our door hinge products are made from high-quality materials and designed to last, some basic maintenance tips include:

• Regular cleaning to remove dirt and prevent corrosion.
