Stainless Steel Hinges

Concealed Hinges

Hinges

The obvious requirement of a hinge is to attach a door or window to a frame. What is often over-looked is that a hinge must carry the weight of the door without sagging. Hinges are often under-specified due to lack of understanding or to save money and people just accept that doors are supposed to sag.  A hinge should withstand the forces exerted on it and through it by the door swinging and closing. Furthermore, correctly specified hinges should perform to these requirements for a long period of time, which ultimately offers better value for money.

Our range of ball-bearing hinges should allow the door to swing easily and with minimum friction for the lifetime of your doors and beyond.  In our range of quality hinges we offer solid drawn slim-line hinges which  are minimal in appearance and blend neatly  into the door and frame.

Stainless Steel Hinges

This section is contains Stainless Steel hinges and includes rising butts, ball bearing, concealed bearing and washered hinges. Stainless steel hinges have a good strong load capacity, durable in most weather conditions and are aesthetically pleasing. Because of their fire resistance stainless steel hinges are often used  on fire doors.

Brass Hinges - Range of Finishes

This hinge section features our best quality brass hinges and our contract range. Within each is a varied selection of hinges including parliament and projection hinges, which are available in a number of different finishes such as chrome and nickel.

Concealed - Invisible Hinges

Concealed hinges are designed to be invisible when the door is in the closed position.  Often specified for doors concealed within a wall.  Several patterns are available,  referred to by a popular trade name Soss, hinges.

Cupboard & Cabinet Hinges

Within our cupboard and cabinet hinge section we have back flap, card table, centre and flush hinges. We have overlay, half overlay and inset hinges, sprung and unsprung, ideal for kitchen cabinets.

Spring Hinges

Spring hinges incorporate a spring action within the pivot knuckle. The size of the knuckle is usually about twice the size of a standard hinge, so as to allow a spring to be built in. A single spring hinge is sprung to allow a one-way closing, they are relatively simple to fit and cheaper than conventional door closers. However, please only use where conditions warrant such a hinge being used.

Continuous Hinges

These hinges are used on traditional cabinet work and pianos. Recently, continuous hinges built to a heavier specification, have become more widely used on full size doors, particularly in areas subject to vandalism. Heavy-duty continuous hinges can be full mortise or half mortise to suit the door and frame details.

Various Hinges

We also carry  a wide range of gate and galvanised T-bar hinges  ane we will supply the hinge that you need from our  worldwide sources.
