Hinges – Commercial and Residential Door Hinges

Looking for door hinges for your home or business project? Well, this probably one of the easiest tasks you’ll face in your remodeling or construction project. Finding the proper door hinge for your doors can be done online fast and easy! Bolton Hardware carries an array of door hinges that varies from brass hinges to stainless steel door hinges to spring hinges.

There are various types of door hinges to choose from, including stainless steel hinges, commercial door hinges, commercial spring hinges and brass hinges. The steel hinges may be one of the most popular, besides the brass door hinge. Stainless steel door hinges are perfect because they are durable. Then if you are constructing or remodeling an area that needs to be tightly secured, consider getting the heavy duty hinges. You’ll definitely need to have the heavy duty hinges on your front door of your home or facility as well. We carry an array of hinges varying from commercial hinges to industrial door hinges.

Properly measuring your door hinge is important for ensuring that they are installed properly. Our door hinges can be installed using screws, glue, & nails. There’s a way you can measure your door hinge simply with the use of coins. If you are able to place a dime in the corner of the hinge, without any space around it, it’s a ¼” round door hinge. But if you’re able to place a quarter in the corner of the door hinge, you have a 5/8” round door hinge. When purchasing or making door hinges, make sure that you look at the shape of the hinge piece on the door to ensure that it is the right fit.

If you are unsure of which type of door hinge to purchase, just take a look at the grade of door and its purpose. If your doors are made with solid wood and are tall and heavy, heavy duty hinges will be your best option. Then take a look at the location of the doors you are installing; if they are located in an exterior environment, steel door hinges are good because they can withstand nature’s elements (especially in the regions along the coast).

There are three different types of door hinges you can purchase, square corner, ¼” round corner and 5/8” round corner. When replacing hinges, make sure that they are the same size. It’s pretty obvious to replace a square corner door hinge, but the round corners will have to be measured, so it can be a bit more difficult to replace. Just use the coin technique to help you figure it out quickly and easily.

Although you are able to put a round hinge on a square hinged door, it just doesn’t look good. So if your concern is more on presentation than just getting a hinge on there, you may want to stick with the same shape. Installing the hinge on the door is pretty simple. You simply remove the screws from the old hinge and screw in the new one into the same holes. The new door hinge should come with its own screws.
