Swing Clear Hinges

Swing Clear Door Hinges also known as Offset Door Hinges are perfect for residential or commercial doors and allows the door to swing completely clear of the opening. This makes them an ideal solution for applications where extra clearance is needed, including wheelchair accessibility, ADA-compliant doorways, and tight passageways.  The removable pin provides easier installation or removal of door.  These Swing Clear Full Mortise Ball Bearing Hinges are made of a high quality steel or stainless steel.  The ball bearings provide for a very smooth movement and reduces the amount of dust build up you see on most hinges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are swing clear hinges ADA compliant?

Swing clear hinges themselves are not inherently ADA-rated, but they are commonly used to help meet ADA doorway clearance requirements. By allowing the door to swing completely clear of the opening, they can increase usable width for wheelchair access when properly specified and installed. Always verify overall door width, hardware, and local code requirements for full compliance.

Do swing clear hinges work for wheelchair accessibility?

Yes. Swing clear hinges are frequently used to improve wheelchair accessibility by maximizing clear passage width through a doorway. They are a popular solution in residential and commercial spaces where modifying the door frame is not practical but additional clearance is needed.

What’s the difference between swing clear hinges and standard door hinges?

Standard hinges keep the door partially within the doorway when open, which reduces usable clearance. Swing clear hinges move the door completely out of the opening, creating more space for people, wheelchairs, and equipment to pass through. This makes them ideal for accessibility upgrades and tight openings.
