Door Hinges from SDS London
The obvious requirement of a hinge is to attach a door or window to a frame. Whether it's a front door, cabinet or cupboard door, the principle remains the same.
What is often overlooked is that a hinge must carry the weight of the door without sagging.
Hinges are often under-specified due to lack of understanding or to save money and people just accept that doors are supposed to sag or bind or drag. Hinges should allow the door to swing easily and with minimum friction.
A hinge should withstand the forces exerted on it and through it by door closers.
Furthermore, correctly specified hinges should perform to these requirements for a long period of time, which ultimately offers better value for money.

How are brass door hinges different from stainless steel hinges?
Brass hinges provide an elegant and traditional appearance, making them perfect for classic or period-style interiors. They are corrosion-resistant but softer than stainless steel, requiring careful handling during installation.
What are parliament and projection door hinges used for?
Parliament and projection hinges are designed to allow doors to open wider than standard hinges, providing extra clearance. They are ideal for doors that need to fold back against a wall or for spaces requiring greater accessibility, such as wheelchair-friendly homes.
When should I use spring door hinges?
Spring hinges are self-closing hinges commonly used on doors that need to close automatically, such as kitchen doors, utility room doors, or fire doors. They’re a practical choice for both residential and commercial spaces.
What are concealed door hinges, and what are their benefits?
Concealed hinges are hidden when the door is closed, providing a seamless and minimalist look. They’re often used in modern interiors where aesthetics are a priority and are compatible with flush doors for a clean finish.
Are fire door hinges mandatory for fire-rated doors?
Yes, fire-rated doors require certified fire door hinges to comply with safety regulations. These hinges are designed to withstand high temperatures and maintain the integrity of the door during a fire, ensuring safe evacuation routes.
How do I choose the right hinge size for my door?
The size of the hinge depends on the door's weight and thickness. Heavier and thicker doors require larger, more robust hinges to ensure stability and smooth operation. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific door type.
