Buying Guide
- Matching Your Existing Hinges: To replace hinges without modifying your door, match three things: size (height x width when open), corner radius (square, 1/4", or 5/8"), and hole pattern. Photograph your existing hinge before ordering.
- Updating Your Finish: If updating from brass to satin nickel or oil-rubbed bronze, replace all hinges on a door at the same time for a consistent look.
- Squeaky Hinge Fix: Squeaking is caused by metal-on-metal friction at the hinge knuckle. Try lubricating the pin first. If the squeak returns, upgrade to ball bearing hinges.
- Sagging Door Fix: The most common cause is loose hinge screws. Replace the standard 3/4" screws with 2.5"–3" long wood screws that reach the framing stud behind the jamb.
- Door Removal Tip: To remove a door for painting without unscrewing hinges, tap out the hinge pins from the bottom up using a nail punch.

FAQs
To match existing hinges, measure the hinge height and width when fully open (e.g., 3.5" x 3.5"), note the corner radius (square, 1/4" radius, or 5/8" radius — the most common residential radius), and identify the finish. Also check whether your hinges are template or non template by looking at the hole pattern. With those three details you can find an exact match in HingeOutlet's catalog.
The most common residential interior door hinge size is 3.5" x 3.5" with a 5/8" radius corner, in a plain bearing or ball bearing style. Most interior doors built since the 1990s use this size. Exterior doors typically use 4" x 4" hinges.
Yes, for most renovations. Replace one hinge at a time while the door remains hung — this keeps the door in position while you work. Only remove the door if you need to completely re-mortise or if the frame needs repair.
Door squeaks come from metal-on-metal friction between the hinge pin and the barrel. First try lubricating the pin with white lithium grease or silicone spray. If the squeak returns, the hinge is worn and should be replaced. Upgrading to ball bearing hinges eliminates the root cause of squeak by replacing the metal-on-metal contact with a bearing race.
