Hinge positioning and door weight
Hinge number, position and fixing need to suit the door. A heavier leaf or large glazed door can place more load on the frame.
Hinge positioning and door weightThis hinge detail supports hinge positioning and door weight by showing where the leaf connects to the frame and where load, alignment and positioning matter.
Hinges carry more than the eye notices
If a door drops, inspect screws, hinge leaves, frame timber and alignment before simply moving the latch. The cause may be at the hinge side even when the symptom appears at the closing edge.
What to look at
Start with the opening, the condition of the existing door and frame, the way the space is used, and the finish you want to achieve. These details usually narrow the practical options quickly.
