These hinges have two identical leaves. One leaf is able
to move while the other leaf is fixed in place. Then, these
leaves are attached to a curled barrel which gives the
door the ability to open. One of the reasons why people
love butt hinges is that they can support a lot of weight.
Butt hinge
These are designed to save space. One of the leaves
compresses against the other when the door is closed,
saving space. Despite their small, compact size, flush
hinges are still quite durable. They do not have the strength
of butt hinges and will break if the door is too heavy.
Flush Hinge
It is one of the most durable options on the market. This
hinge has been designed to support wide, heavy doors.
In this hinge, a ball bearing is placed between two
separate knuckles. The purpose of a ball bearing is to
reduce the friction between the two knuckles.

It has a lot of similarities to butt hinges. Therefore, they
are often used for front doors which tend to be larger,
wider, and heavier. The biggest difference between case
hinges and butt hinges is that case hinges are a bit more
stylish, flashy, and decorative.
Case hinge
This is the hinge that people see attached to gates as they
open and close. By far, the strap hinge is the most unique
option on the market. They are the shortest hinge but also
have the longest leaves. The longer leaf has been designed
to give the door a little bit more support than usual.
Strap Hinge
It is in the shape of an H, making it unique. When the door is
open, the hinge makes an “H” shape. When the door is
closed, only the knuckle is visible. In addition to being used
on exterior doors, many people also use olive knuckle hinges
on cabinets. The large design makes it very durable.

It has been designed to work with larger doors. When

keep it aligned with the wall and the floor. The pivot
hinge can fix this problem. This hinge has been designed
to pivot when the door opens, helping to keep it in place.

café, sway, swing, and saloon door hinge.
Double action spring Hinge
It is a little bit less common than other door hinges;
however, they do serve a unique purpose. In some
situations, people might need a hinge with multiple leaves
that are of varying lengths. This is the design of a bi-fold
hinge. There are multiple pivots in this hinge that allow the
door to move to a greater extent.
