Types Of Hinges

1. Casement Hinges

Casement hinges are the most common type of hinge. Their blades are flat and suitable for most doors, windows, and furniture. The advantages of this type of hinge are its simple structure and low cost, but its opening angle is usually limited, generally not exceeding 180 degrees.

 

2. Spring Hinges

Spring hinges have a built-in spring mechanism that automatically closes doors and windows. These hinges are often used in situations requiring frequent closing, such as kitchen or bathroom doors. The advantage of spring hinges is that they provide a certain closing force, but their structure is more complex and maintenance costs are higher.

 

3. Concealed Hinges

Concealed hinges are completely invisible when closed and are often used in high-end furniture or situations requiring a high level of aesthetics. The advantage of this type of hinge is its aesthetic appeal, but its installation and adjustment are more complex and require specialized tools and techniques.

 

4. Heavy-Duty Hinges

Heavy-duty hinges are designed to support the weight of doors or covers, such as industrial doors or safes. These hinges are usually made of high-strength materials and have a more robust structure, but their weight and cost are also relatively high.

 

5. Special Hinges

In addition to the common types mentioned above, there are also special hinges, such as swivel hinges and folding hinges. These hinges are typically used in specific applications, such as foldable furniture or specialized machinery.
