types of hinges

Hinges — Door and panel hinge that makes the door and panel open and close. We couldn’t swing our doors or close our cabinets without hinges. There are various door handle, and every type can perform a special function. With that in mind, this article discusses five of the most common types of hinges, sharing what sets each apart and where they’re most beneficial.

  1. The Simple and Common Hinge – Butt Hinges

Butt hinges are the most basic and widely used type of hinge that you can find. They feature two attached flat plates (called leaves) at the midpoint by a pin. This type of door consists of 2 leaves– one leaf is attached to the door, and the other leaf is attached to the frame of the doorway. That is the pin turns when you push or pull the door to open or close it, and the leaves rotate. This movement enables the door to open and close freely. Butt hinges are immensely strong and can carry a great weight so they are useful in small doors and cabinets. They are available in a variety of styles, colors and finishes, so you can pick one that suits the style and decor of your home.

The Sleek and Modern Hinge Style

Known better as continuous hinges, piano hinges are longer than regular butt hinges. They are typically employed on pianos and other musical instruments, hence the name. Piano hinges are comprised two thin, flat plates the entire length of the door or panel. One of the plates is secured to the door and the other one to the frame. Piano hinges are smooth and continuous due to their design. This makes them well suited for oversized doors, like closet doors, garage doors, and room dividers. There are also no protruding parts, making them very practical in confined spaces where a standard hinge would not work, which opens up more design possibilities in your home.
