How Does a Hinge Work?

When most people open and close a door, they may not be aware that door hinges make this task possible. Door hinges are a crucial component of an interior and exterior door’s performance. Without door hinges, we would be unable to open and close doors. Read on to find out more about door hinges and how they work.

Mechanics

A door hinge connects two solid objects. In this case, these two objects consist of the door frame and the actual door. This is where it gets interesting. A door hinge works by rotating, ultimately allowing the door to open and close. Door hinges are mechanical bearings that are typically made of steel, stainless steel, or brass.

Navigating Door Hinge Installation

There are several steps you should take to ensure that your door hinge is the perfect fit for your door frame and door. You also need to evaluate the door hinge installation process through several steps. You can begin by measuring your door and consulting with the experts at Hinge Outlet. Then, you can follow this step-by-step guide on door hinge installation.

Mark the Spot

Find the exact location where you need to install door hinges and trace around the door hinge after lining up the door to the frame to eventually cut the mortise. Templates work great and we carry a big selection of Router Hinge Templates.

Begin Cutting

Also known as ‘cutting the mortise,’ the next step indoor hinge installation involves doing just that. Follow the tracing and template which you did in the previous step to mortise your hinge area.

Corner Chisels also come in handy for this task

Set the Screws

Use a carpenter’s pencil, mark the place for the screws located where the door hinge will sit on the door and the door jamb. Next, put the door hinges in the place and secure them to the door and door jamb.  Butt Markers work great for this task We also always recommend extra-long hinge screws if replacing existing hinges or installing heavy-duty hinges.
