Pivot hinges are also known as knife hinges, and allow a door to open both ways. Imagine the types of doors they use in commercial kitchens – the option to open and close the doors both ways is made possible because of the pivot hinge.

That’s because they generally provide smoother, quieter opening and closing, and reduce friction, perfect for any door that’s going to get a lot of use. Best Hinges For External Doors

For years people have tried to find a way to make the corner cabinets in their kitchens useful and functional. The problem is finding an elegant way to open the corner doors and have access to the interior of the cabinet. The homeowner does not have many options in dealing with this issue. They are great for wider, heavier and bigger doors; making them a fantastic option to use on external doors. 4) Concealed Hinge You might consider using offset hinges for rooms that need bulky furniture like bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms.

The great thing about this type of door hinge is that it can be made to replicate other entrance door hinges. 8) HL Hinge They have the entry level hardware which is a piano hinge and is not attractive but does open the doors one at a time allowing full access to the cabinet. The next option is a pie-cut door hinge or bi-fold door hinges ( also known as lazy susan hinge) which is a clean look visually, but the functionality is severely reduced as both doors have to open simultaneously, losing the capability to fully access just one side of the cabinet.The only other alternative for a homeowner is to jump up to a higher price range option such as a pull-out corner system. These are functional and attractive in a blind corner application but can be too expensive for the average kitchen.

Spring-loaded butt hinge – Also known as self-closing butt hinges, these have a spring installed that will cause a door to close automatically. Great for rooms where you want to keep the heat in. These can also be used on fire doors. You’ll know this type of door hinge just by looking at it. When the door is open, you’ll see the characteristic ‘H’ shape of the hinge, making it a particularly beautiful option for front doors.

Concealed hinges are also referred to as invisible hinges, as they are designed so that you won’t even get a glance at them when the door is closed regardless of which side you’re on. Screw holes– These are the holes within the leaves and are what make it possible to attach the hinge to the door and frame.
