Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies a hinge as “heavy duty”?

A heavy duty hinge is built with thicker steel, stronger knuckles, and a reinforced pin to support heavier doors and frequent use. These hinges are designed to handle higher load ratings and extended duty cycles without deforming or failing. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial environments.

Are heavy duty hinges required for commercial doors?

In many commercial applications, heavy duty hinges are recommended or required due to door weight, door size, or usage frequency. Using standard hinges on heavy or high-traffic doors can lead to sagging, misalignment, and early failure. Heavy duty hinges help prevent ongoing maintenance issues.

Can heavy duty hinges be used on exterior doors?

Yes, many heavy duty hinges are suitable for exterior use when paired with the appropriate finish and material. They are commonly installed on exterior commercial doors, service doors, and entryways where strength and durability are critical. Always match hinge specifications to door weight and environment.

How much weight can a heavy duty hinge hold?

Heavy duty hinges can hold up to 3,000 pounds. Common weight capacities are 600, 650, and 1,000 pounds.
