Hardware Knobs and Pulls and Hinges
Love hardware knobs and pulls? Then you’ll love hinges, too. Cabinet hinges come in a range of finishes and styles and materials. Here’s a quick guide to the different types of hinges that are available.
Mortise hinges – These hinges are set into the door frame (mortised) and have a range of finishes, from satin nickel to weathered copper to antique pewter. Mortise hinges for outdoor doors are usually made of stainless steel or brass so they are long-lasting.
Offset swinging hinges – Offset swinging door hinges add up to 2 inches to any door way, allowing for a complete door swing of up to 180 degrees. Offset door hinges are great for households with residents who use wheelchairs or walkers.
H hinges – These hinges are shaped like an H and are used on flush-mounted doors. Small H hinges are available for use on cabinet doors, and large H hinges are used on closet doors or in door frames.
HL hinges – HL hinges are surface mounted and resemble an H and an L. These types of hinges were commonly used in the 17th to 19th centuries and are a stronger version of the H hinge. They are available in small and large sizes to support the weight of a door.
