Door and Window Hinges

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. A casement hinge suits a hinged casement window, where the hardware supports the sash as it opens from the side.

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 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.

Hinge systems vary according to the door or window’s opening action, weight and installation requirements, so the hinge position and fixing method should be checked against the joinery. Canopy hinges support outward-opening canopy sashes, and their position should suit the sash and frame. Door hinges for aluminium doors need to suit the door profile, weight and fixing requirements.

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.

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.
