Door and Window Hinges

Q: What is meant by friction hinge?

Friction hinges are designed to only open as force is applied, rather than inertia. This means they can be pushed and pulled to control the exact opening position and stay that way. They are commonly used on windows so that you can adjust indoor airflow based on the opening size.

Q: What type of window is hinged on one side?

Side hung windows are hinged on one side and will open inwards or outwards, like a door. Some swing both inwards and outwards. An inward swing makes it easy to clean on both sides. Depending on the hinge, side hinged windows may need an additional stay mechanism to hold them in place.

Q: Are all hinge holes the same size?

Standard hinges come in either 35 mm or 26 mm diameter hole sizes in Australia. The smaller size is usually used for small doors, like bathroom medicine cabinets. The hinges themselves are also smaller and can support less weight. Larger hinge holes can have 40 mm diameter.

Every time we open a door, cupboard or window, we rely on some type of hinge. We often see fixed pin hinges on doors, but there are many other types. Whatever the style of door or window, there is a hinge designed to match it perfectly. Various types of door hinges are available for use, including concealed hinges for a seamless look, flush hinges that sit flat against the door, and pivot hinges that allow for a swiveling motion. ArchiPro partners with high-quality suppliers to bring you the best door and window hinges in Australia.

Featuring the best door and window hinges in Australia

ArchiPro offers you the best selection of door and window hinges in Australia, with high quality finishes like gunmetal grey, brass and more. Browsing our selection, you can easily match hinges with other window & door hardware in your design. Whether you are looking for hinges for exterior gates or interior doors, ArchiPro showcases products from only the best suppliers for Australia.

Types of door and window hinges

Concealed hinge

Concealed hinges have been designed to provide aesthetic value. They are mounted flush with the door, so are not visible from a general vantage point.

Flush hinge

On a flush hinge, mounting plates are cut so one fits inside of the other. They close together in one layer, helping to save pace.

Pivot hinge

Pivot hinges are mounted on the top and bottom of the door, rather than on the side. It gives a unique effect to the opening swing.

The advantages of high-quality door and window hinges

Most of us have tried to open a door or window with a rusty, creaky hinge before. It’s difficult to open and makes an unwelcoming noise. So it’s worthwhile to invest in quality hinges, alongside latches and locks, to prevent this sort of thing from happening. High quality options offer features like robust metal finishing and soft closing mechanisms. By prioritising quality, you will ensure your chosen door or window hinge will perform well both in the short and long term.

How to choose door and window hinges that are right for you

You first need to consider the most suitable choice based on the environment and setting of your hinges. This could be for internal settings like bedroom doors or exterior settings like gates, sheds and hatches. For exterior hinges, stainless steel or rust-resistant window and door hardware are always recommended. For interior hinges, the design aesthetic may be more of a priority, in which case, timeless finishes like brushed brass would be great for elevating your home. For contemporary designs in Australia, concealed hinges create a clean look. For a minimal gap around door jambs to help seal sound and heat, flush door hinges will save space.

Enhance door functionality and appearance with a curated selection of accessories: responsive door bell pushes for convenient alerting, handcrafted door knockers for a signature entrance, fortified door bolts for additional security, precision door closers for seamless door management, hand-friendly door knobs for comfortable entry, wall-protecting door stops, purposeful door hooks for decluttering, and bespoke escutcheons for a touch of sophistication.

What is stack height on window hinges?

The stack height measures a hinge’s layers when in the closed position. It indicates what gap a window will need, when closed, to accommodate the hinge. There are two standard stack heights in Australia, 13 mm and 17 mm. Each one correlates with the specific hinge to suit a small or large hung window.
