Specialist Hinge Buying Guide
What is a T-hinge used for?
T-hinges, also known as strap hinges, are commonly used on ledged and braced doors, gates, sheds and outbuildings. Their long strap spreads the load across the timber and provides a traditional look, making them particularly suitable for rustic and period-style doors.
What are hook and band hinges?
Hook and band hinges are heavy-duty hinges commonly used on gates, stable doors, ledged doors and other applications where the hinge needs to support and distribute the weight of the door. Check the hinge dimensions and load requirements before ordering.
What are flush hinges?
Flush hinges are compact hinges designed to sit neatly against the door and frame. They are useful for lightweight doors, cupboards and furniture where a recessed butt hinge is not required.
When should I use an interleaf hinge?
Interleaf hinges are compact hinges with interlocking leaves that can be fitted without the same level of recessing required by traditional butt hinges. They are suitable for lightweight doors, cabinets and furniture applications where simple installation is important.
What are concealed hinges?
Concealed hinges are designed to remain hidden when the door is closed, providing a clean appearance. The exact hinge type and installation method depend on the door and application, so check the product dimensions and fixing requirements before ordering.
What are intumescent hinge pads?
Intumescent hinge pads are fitted behind suitable hinges on fire doors. When exposed to heat, the material expands to help maintain the fire-resisting performance of the door assembly. Always check the fire-door manufacturer's specification and the relevant hinge certification before installation.
Which finish should I choose?
Choose a finish according to the location and style of the door. Stainless steel hinges are suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is important, while brass, black and galvanised finishes work well across traditional, period and utility settings.
