Door Hinges - Butt

What is a Butt Hinge?

 

A butt hinge is the most common hinge used on doors in our homes. But did you know that the choice of design can make such a difference to the smooth operation and proper functionality of your door? And how do you choose the right one?

 

Read on for a simple guide to help you make the right decision.

 

A butt hinge is comprised of two pivoting metal plates with interlocking parts forming a barrel shaped knuckle in the centre, traditionally held together with a pin running through the centre. These hinges are fitted between the door frame and the edge of the door, often recessed into a mortice to keep the hinge flush with the surface of the wood.

 

As a rule of thumb, you want to have one hinge for every 30 inches of door.

 

For a standard sized door that equates to two hinges. If the door is heavy, however, you may want to fit three hinges or two larger size hinges.

 

Butt hinges generally come in two standard sizes: 3 inch and 4 inch. The 4 inch butt hinges are designed for external doors and also heavy or large internal doors. The leaf length of a 4 inch butt hinge covers more of the door and provides greater stability and strength.Most standard internal doors have 3 inch butt hinges. Usually fitted as a pair, top and bottom. The general guidance is to fit a hinge 5-7 inches from the top of the door and 10-11 inches from the bottom.

 

We have two different metal qualities for our butt hinges. Stainless Steel 202 & Stainless Steel 304 Butt Door Hinge. They are also known as 5 Knuckle Hinge with SS Pin and are supplied with SS Screws. These are non-welded tips of the knuckle.
