Understanding Door Hinges: Key Considerations
Choosing the right hinge involves understanding a few key factors:
- Size & Weight Capacity: Hinge size directly correlates with the weight and dimensions of your door. Larger hinges (like 4-inch or 4.5-inch) are essential for heavier doors (solid core, exterior) or oversized applications, while smaller hinges (such as 2-inch or 2.5-inch) are perfect for cabinetry. The popular 3-inch and 3.5-inch sizes are standards for most residential interior doors.
- Material & Finish: The material (steel, stainless steel, brass) impacts durability, especially for outdoor or high-moisture environments. Finishes not only define aesthetics but can also provide added corrosion resistance.
- Bearing Type (Plain vs. Ball Bearing): Plain bearing hinges are suitable for light-duty, low-traffic doors. Ball bearing hinges are essential for heavier doors and high-traffic areas, offering significantly smoother, quieter operation by reducing friction.
- Corner Type: Match your door's mortise. Square corner hinges have sharp 90-degree angles, while radius corner hinges have rounded corners, common for router-prepared doors.
- Specialty Hinges: Explore specific types like spring hinges (for self-closing doors), concealed hinges (for a hidden look), or non-mortise hinges for unique installation needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Door Hinges
Q: How do I determine the right hinge size for my door?
A: The ideal hinge size depends on your door's height, width, and weight. As a general rule:
- For standard interior residential doors (1 3/8" thick), 3.5-inch hinges are typically sufficient.
- For heavier interior doors or standard exterior doors, 4-inch hinges are recommended.
- For oversized, very heavy, or commercial doors, 4.5-inch hinges or larger are often required.
Always check specific product weight capacities and consult a professional for critical applications.
Q: When should I choose ball bearing hinges?
A: Ball bearing hinges are highly recommended for heavier doors, high-traffic doorways (like main entry points or busy commercial doors), or any door where smooth, quiet, and effortless operation is a priority. Brands like Baldwin and Emtek often feature exceptional ball-bearing mechanisms for superior performance.
Q: What’s the best material for outdoor door hinges?
A: For outdoor applications, stainless steel hinges (especially 316 marine grade for coastal areas) are highly recommended due to their superior corrosion resistance. Hinges with specialized weather-resistant finishes (e.g., galvanized, powder-coated) are also excellent choices. Deltana offers a wide range of outdoor-rated options.
Q: How many hinges do I need per door?
A: For most standard doors up to 60 inches in height, two hinges are often sufficient. For doors between 60 and 90 inches, three hinges are recommended. For doors over 90 inches or very heavy doors (regardless of height), four or more hinges may be necessary to distribute weight evenly and prevent sagging. The number can also depend on the hinge's individual weight rating.
Q: Are your hinges compatible with fire-rated doors?
A: Certain models within our collection are specifically designed and certified for use on fire-rated doors. When selecting hinges for such critical applications, it is paramount to choose products explicitly carrying the necessary fire-rating (e.g., 20-minute, 90-minute, 3-hour) and ensure they comply with local building codes. Always refer to individual product specifications for fire certifications.
Q: What makes Emtek, Deltana, and Baldwin hinges stand out?
A:
- Emtek: Known for solid brass construction, attention to detail, and a focus on unique, often transitional and contemporary designs that feel handcrafted and substantial.
- Deltana: Valued for their immense range, offering a reliable, high-quality solution for virtually any hinge need, from standard to specialty, across many finishes and sizes. They are a go-to for consistent quality and availability.
