The flush hinge takes the bearing capacity of the door into account, avoids slotting design, and increases the integrality of the door, so it possesses a wider application ranges, which conforms to the applicability of different doors.

The difference is that when installed on the door, the flush hinge does not need to slot, directly nailed to the door. The installation location is determined by the size of the door crack, no need to destroy the overall appearance.

The flat hinge’s side of the door should be slotted so that the other side of the hinge will be set in the slot. Please bear in mind that when installing the hinge, be sure to match it with the height and width of the door slot.

The disadvantage of flush hinge is that the bearing capacity is not as good as that of flat one, since the stress on both sides of the trench is even.
