Q: Can I use 3.5 inch hinges for exterior doors?
A: While often associated with interior doors, **3.5 inch hinges** are frequently used for *residential exterior doors*, especially when made from durable materials like stainless steel or treated with weather-resistant finishes.

Always check individual product specifications for exterior ratings.
Q: Are ball bearing versions available in 3.5 inch size?
