If you have a new front door, then you may be wondering how to install door hinges. The first thing you need to do is to measure the depth of the door's jamb and the width of the jamb. You will then need to cut a mortise to hold the hinge. This mortise is created by cutting the wood in the jamb into the shape of the hinge.

Door hinges are used on doors, drawers, closets, and many other furniture items. They are often made from several types of material including metals, wood, plastic, and other man made materials. The most commonly used materials in door hinges are: Steel, Wrought Iron, Plastic, and Aluminum.
