If you’ve bought a new door or are looking to revamp an existing one, you may be thinking about purchasing door hinges.
You’ll soon find that there are many different products to choose from – and your decision will depend on factors such as how they fit with your decor and whether you need to make your door secure against fire.
If cost is another consideration, you might want to look at the range of door hinges on offer at Door Handles UK.
Our online store sells many different kinds of hinges at low prices – so see how we could save you money by visiting our website today.
What kinds of door hinges can I choose from?
Once you start researching the door hinges that are available to buy, you will discover that there are several different types to consider.
Standard hinges are generally rectangular in shape, come in a host of sizes and are made from all kinds of metals – chrome, steel, brass and nickel are just a few of the materials you can choose from.
Some door hinges are made to a fire-tested standard known as grade 13 BSEN 1935:2001.
These have been tested against fire for a certain length of time – usually one hour – to ensure they do not buckle under intense heat.
Grade 13 hinges, then, are particularly ideal if you want your property to be as safe and secure as possible.
Another kind of hinge is that incorporating ball bearings. These door hinges promote an especially smooth opening and closing action.
Other products include single action spring, rising butt and self-lubricating hinges. One other category of hinge you may wish to consider is the parliament type.
Parliament hinges are usually a different shape to standard ones and should be used for doors that need to clear a projection – such as a downpipe, architrave or window board – and open up to 180 degrees.
Again, parliament hinges are available in a range of finishes, so you should not find it too difficult to identify products that match current door fittings such as handles and locks.
When you buy your new door hinges, you will usually be able to get them in pairs with screws. If your door is particularly heavy, you may need to buy extra hinges – three is normally the recommended number for weighty doors.
