RESIDENTIAL HINGES
Hinges are now manufactured from a variety of materials including steel, stainless, brass, and bronze. Depending on how often the door is used and the weight of the door, style and size must be taken into consideration when choosing hinges. Still, the most common hinge style in use, the full mortise (butt hinge) is mortised into the door and the door jamb (frame) at WSI doors we use full mortise hinges when prehanging our doors on a jamb (frame).
On the 1 3/8'' thick doors, 6/8 (80'') and 7/0 (84'') heights, three hinges are used in our hanging procedure, they measure 3 ½'' X 3 ½'' X ¼'' radius. Our 1 ¾'' thick doors, 6/8 (80'') and 7/0 (84'') are prehung with three, 4'' X 4'' X ¼'' radius hinges, due to the increased weight. In prehanging an 8/0 (96'') height door, which weighs around 100 lbs. four hinges 4'' X 4'' X 1/4''are used. Ball bearing hinges should be used when the door weight exceeds 110 lbs. WSI doors offers many types of decorative and functional door hinges ranging from butt hinges to double acting. Also included in the selection of door hinges is a wide variety of colors and sizes designed to fit any of your home improvement needs.
