Door Hinges

Door Hinges for Interior, Exterior, Residential, and Commercial Doors

Door hinges connect a door to its frame and control the swing of the opening. The assortment includes residential hinges, commercial hinges, plain-bearing and ball-bearing hinges, spring hinges, pivot hardware, and specialty hinge formats for a range of interior and exterior doors.

Start with physical fit. Measure hinge height and width, identify whether the corners are square or radiused, and compare the screw-hole pattern and leaf thickness. A replacement hinge that differs in corner shape or dimensions may require new mortising or drilling, so measuring the existing hinge before removal helps preserve the original preparation.

Ball-bearing door hinges are commonly used on heavier or higher-use doors because the bearings support smoother movement under repeated operation. Plain-bearing hinges serve many standard residential and light-duty openings. Spring hinges add self-closing action, while pivot hinges and other specialty designs use different mounting geometry and should be matched carefully to the door and frame.

Commercial door hinges may also require specific material, bearing, pin, fire-door, accessibility, or duty characteristics. Non-removable pins, stainless-steel construction, listed hardware, and other features are model-specific, so check the exact product specifications when the opening has code or performance requirements.

After function and fit are established, choose a finish that coordinates with locks, closers, stops, and other visible hardware. Correct dimensions, construction, and door preparation should take priority over finish when replacing existing hinges.

Shop door hinges by finish: Black Door Hinges, Bronze Door Hinges, Oil Rubbed Bronze Door Hinges, Satin Nickel Door Hinges, Satin Brass Door Hinges and Chrome Door Hinges. Check the exact finish code, function, and product dimensions when selecting matching hardware.

Compare Door Hinges by Bearing and Closing Function

Choose ball bearing hinges for supported higher-use or heavier-door applications, plain bearing hinges where the specified duty and use allow them, or spring door hinges when a compatible self-closing hinge is required. For heavier-duty or specified openings, review commercial door hinges and the exact hardware ratings. These are different hinge constructions; do not select a substitute only because the leaf dimensions appear similar.

When replacing a hinge, measure the height, open width, corner radius, leaf gauge, screw-hole arrangement and pin configuration. For a new installation, match the hardware to door material, weight, traffic and frame preparation. Any fire-rated opening must use hinge specifications appropriate to the complete listed assembly, even when the door and hinge mortises otherwise seem compatible.
