Hinges.name is your source for door hinge information on the internet. Door hinges are the hardware used for hanging doors. Hinges are the plates and pins used to attach the door panel to the frame allowing the door to swing inward or out. Without door hinges a door would be rendered relatively useless, unless you were using a pocket door or bypass door application.

The same basic door hinge of the last few centuries is still being used today. It is called a full mortise or butt hinge. These hinges have evolved into a number of hinge types with specialized function and movement. Spring hinges are hinges with a coil spring in the center that returns a door to the closed position. Dual action spring hinges will allow a door to swing in either direction. Single action will be limited to only one direction. Ball bearing hinges are equipped with ball bearings between the hinge knuckles to reduce friction. Some other types of hinges are gate hinges, strap hinges, barn door hinges, glass hinges, concealed hinges, friction hinges, barrel hinges, and clear swing hinges, which completely clear the door opening, making it easier for wheel chairs to get through.

Hinges are manufactured in a variety of materials, brass, extruded or forged, steel, stainless steel, iron, and bronze to name a few. Some of the hinge finishes available are polished chrome, satin chrome, pewter, oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel, polished brass, antique brass, black, rust, satin steel, copper, verdigris, dark bronze, medium bronze, and silver patina. As you can see the materials used in the making of hinges are varied and numerous and can be found at every quality level. Because quality and price do not always go hand in hand, if you tell us your need, we at Designer Doors will attempt to find you the highest quality hardware at the most reasonable prices.

When was the hinge invented?

When was the hinge invented? Where was the hinge invented? Who invented the hinge? No idea!

We can, however, speculate on how the first hinge was made. It stands to reason that it would have been manufactured out of a heavy duty material such as leather and was attached to a frame and a door by some type of nail.

During the 17th and 18th centuries hinges were made by hand forging iron. It was not until early in the 19th century that cast iron hinges were being mass produced as a byproduct of the Industrial Revolution and its machinery. Following in the progression to the steel hinges and stamping plants in use today.
