Back Flap Hinges
Back Flap Hinges are versatile components used extensively in both light and heavy-duty applications. They are designed with a wider leaf area to provide increased support, making them ideal for large doors, gates, and tabletops in commercial, residential, and industrial settings. The increased surface area helps distribute weight more evenly, which is essential in high-use areas or where the door or panel is particularly heavy.
Bullet Hinges
Bullet Hinges, also known as barrel or weld-on hinges, offer a robust solution primarily used in metalworking and industrial environments. These hinges are characterized by their cylindrical shape and a pin that holds the two halves of the hinge together. Common applications include heavy gates, industrial machinery doors, and security doors where a strong, durable hinge is required. The ability to weld these hinges directly onto the surface ensures a secure fit, essential in high-security areas.
Butt Hinges
Butt Hinges are among the most common hinge types used in residential and commercial construction. They consist of two plates, known as leaves, knuckled together with a pin. Easily adjustable and available in a variety of sizes and materials, butt hinges are used on interior doors, external entry doors, and cabinets. Their simplicity and the flush nature when closed make them aesthetically pleasing and functional for everyday use.
Flush Hinges
Flush Hinges are similar to butt hinges but with one leaf designed to fit inside the other, allowing for a flush fitment. This makes them ideal for use in applications where space is limited or where it is desirable for the hinge to remain inconspicuous, such as on interior doors or cabinetry in homes. They are particularly favored in modern home design for their sleek and compact appearance.
Leaf Hinges
Leaf Hinges are specialized hinges typically used in industrial applications where parts of machinery must be frequently removed or where door frames are not suitable for other types of hinges. Each hinge leaf can be separately mounted, making them adaptable and ideal for custom machinery doors, equipment hoods, or removable panels, providing ease of assembly and maintenance access.
Parliament Hinges
Parliament Hinges are distinguished by their extended length, which allows doors to swing clear of the wall, facilitating a wider opening angle. This feature is particularly useful in architectural applications where doors need to open back against a wall to maximize space, such as in patios or balconies in residential units, or in entryways in commercial buildings where full access is often necessary.
Piano Hinges
Also known as continuous hinges, Piano Hinges run the entire length of the door or lid, providing uniform strength and support. They are commonly used in lids, tables, and long doors, offering stability across the entire length of the opening. This makes them suitable for use not only in musical instruments like pianos but also in high-use commercial environments and in home furnishings requiring extended hinge support.
Tee Hinges
Tee Hinges are generally used on external doors, sheds, and gate applications. Their T-shape provides a stable mounting and weight distribution, making them ideal for heavier or wider outdoor applications. Available in various sizes and finishes, tee hinges blend functionality with aesthetics, adding a traditional or rustic look while ensuring performance in varying environmental conditions.
