Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About 2.5 Inch Door Hinges
Q: Are 2.5 inch hinges suitable for heavy doors?
A: 2.5 inch hinges are generally designed for standard cabinet doors and lightweight interior doors. For heavier doors or those experiencing high traffic, we recommend consulting the product's specific weight rating or considering larger hinge sizes like our 3-inch or 3.5-inch door hinges for enhanced support.
Q: What is the difference between a square corner and a radius corner 2.5 inch hinge?
A: The difference lies in the shape of the hinge's corners. A square corner hinge has sharp, 90-degree angles, typically requiring a precise mortise cut. A radius corner hinge has rounded corners, designed to fit mortises created by a router, which is a common installation method today. Both types are available in the 2.5 inch size.
Q: Do these hinges require mortising?
A: Most 2.5 inch door hinges are designed to be mortised (recessed) into the door and frame for a flush, professional fit. However, some non-mortise options may be available for specific applications. Always check the individual product description for installation requirements.
Q: Can 2.5 inch hinges be used on outdoor applications?
A: While primarily for interior use, certain 2.5-inch hinges made from highly corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel can be suitable for sheltered outdoor applications, such as on a porch cabinet or gate. For exterior use, it is crucial to select hinges specifically rated for outdoor exposure and consider environmental factors like humidity and salt spray. Refer to individual product specifications for details.
Q: What materials are your 2.5 inch hinges made from?
A: Our 2.5-inch hinges are crafted from high-quality and durable materials, including robust steel for strength, stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance, and solid brass for a classic look and excellent durability. The choice of material often depends on the specific hinge's finish and intended application.
