Hinges

A hinge for a glass door is clearly different from, say, a wrought-iron hinge on an old wooden chest. Still, both are hinges and do the same job in their place. That’s why, when choosing a hinge, it’s good to think about usability—but also appearance. Wrought-iron hinges don’t suit every application, even in terms of their outward characteristics.

Luckily, there’s plenty to choose from. The ranges include discreet or eye-catching hinges for indoors as well as outdoors and yard use. Special hinges take into account a door’s specific needs, such as how wide the door must be able to open and the opening style. And how handy are kitchen cabinet doors that open with a light push—without any handles!

Sometimes it’s great to make hinges visible, and sometimes you want them completely hidden. A concealed hinge stays inside the cabinet so that it’s barely visible at all from the outside between the door and the cabinet. Visible hinges include, for example, wrought-iron hinges, which can be quite large. Hinges like these are perfect for a shed door or a yard sauna door.

All of us have probably experienced this: you try to quietly sneak to the bathroom or the fridge in the evening, and the hinge of your room door—or some other interior door—makes such a loud noise that it feels like the whole house will wake up. Luckily, there is a remedy for squeaky hinges, even if it doesn’t help much in that moment in the dark.

So it’s worth maintaining hinges with oil. Different maintenance oils work great for this. Maintenance oil is also handy for caring for and servicing, in addition to hinges, things like exterior door handles, interior door handles, and various chains.

High-quality hinges that are correctly chosen for the application not only look good—they also withstand wear and move smoothly. So it’s worth spending a moment choosing your hinges! You’ll find a versatile selection of hinges in our online store.
