By definition, a butt hinge is a hinge that attaches to the abutting surfaces of a door jamb and the door. These hingesare usually mortised or recessed into both surfaces. The following picture shows a carpenter chiseling a mortise:
Butt hinges consist of two rectangular leaves with screws to attach the hinge to the surfaces. They are joined together by the hinge pin which is a metal rod.
Most hinge pins are removable, but some are built to be non-removable for security purposes. Butt hinges are available with both removable and non-removable pins. There are a variety of Butt Hinges including the following:
Plain Bearing Butt Hinges |
Ball Bearing Butt Hinges |
Spring Butt Hinges |
Butt Hinges are also available for both residential and commercial applications. Most residential butt hinges are built for doors between 1 1/4 inch and 1 3/4 inch thick while commercial grade butt hinges are built for doors greater than 1 3/4 inch thick.
