Door Hinges with your home

If you need to replace the door hinges in your home, choosing between the many types and styles available can be a difficult task. In order to make the right choice, you should first determine the amount of load the door will bear. For example, if you live in an area where you receive heavy snow fall then you may not want to choose a roller door with wooden hinges. This would be especially true for those homeowners who live in countries where the weather is usually very harsh and extreme.

Heavy duty, solid ball bearing door hinges are often used for outside doors that weigh 80kg or so but there are also a range of other external door hinges on offer, including flush hinges, decorative hinges, and washer-head hinges. These various styles of exterior door hinges come in a wide range of different finishes, including both natural and nickel. Some are designed to be highly decorative, while others are more suited to provide a simple yet durable finish. Butt Hinge fire-rated hinges are also widely used for external doors, but their low level of safety has prompted a range of designs aimed at improving the security of this type of door hinges.

Full Mortise and Square Hinges are the most secure, durable, and stylish door hinges available, featuring a full mortise lock which is secured to the door frame and is designed to prevent the door from opening while the hinge is locked. The hinges themselves are made from a wide range of materials, including brass and steel. Some models are made from plastic, while others are fashioned from chrome-plated steel. Many models are designed to be fully functional for almost all applications, although it is worth noting that since the full mortise hinges require large areas of space in order to operate properly, they tend not to be ideal for homes in compact areas.
