Door Hinges: The Backbone of Your Doors

What is a door hinge?

A door hinge is a mechanical accessory that works as a joint which connects the door to its frame, allowing rotational movement along a fixed axis. It is essential for the smooth operation of doors, ensuring they open and close seamlessly. However, everyday living can often lead to common issues like squeaky, misaligned, or malfunctioning door hinges, causing jerky door movement, and causing daily frustration. With constant wear and tear, homeowners and businesses require hinges that can endure daily use.

Ozone offers an exceptional range of door hinges designed to solve these everyday challenges. Our hinges are crafted with thoughtfulness and precision to meet the demands of modern living, enhancing convenience.

Types of door hinges

We understand that selecting the right door hinge is essential for ensuring your space’s functionality. Let’s take a look at the different door hinge types:

Butt hinge

Butt hinges are among the most common types of door hinges, consisting of two rectangular plates (or leaves) joined by a central pivot. They come in different variations, including those with ball bearings for smooth operation, standard hinges for lighter applications, and flap hinges for compact spaces.

Our butt hinges have a concentric or zigzag pattern of screw holes, which helps distribute pressure evenly, preventing the door from cracking. This design makes installation easier and ensures the hinge doesn't loosen over time.

Types

• Standard Models: Basic butt hinges designed for lighter doors without ball bearings.

• Ball-bearing Variants: Equipped with ball bearings to reduce friction, providing smoother door operation.

• Flap Hinges: Compact, lightweight hinges primarily used for smaller, light-duty doors, such as cabinet doors, wardrobes, and partitions.

3D adjustable hinge

A 3D adjustable hinge is a concealed hinge that is installed by making a cavity inside the door and its frame, providing a clean, flush, minimalist look, perfect for modern spaces. Its three-dimensional adjustability allows for precise door alignment (height, width, and depth).

Central pivot hinge

Central pivot hinges are designed to support larger, heavier wooden doors (up to 200 Kg) by allowing them to rotate around a central point. They enable 360-degree movement of doors while ensuring smooth and reliable door movement. They are ideal for office entrances, showrooms, etc.

Factors to consider before buying door hinges

Measurements of the door

Take note of your door’s measurements since the selection of door hinges relies on the thickness and weight of the door. Door hinges can support doors with thicknesses between 30-50 mm and weight between 40-100 Kg.

Area of application

• Residential Spaces: Standard butt hinges with 2 or 4 ball bearings are commonly used for residential spaces since they provide smooth and quiet operation of the door.

• Commercial  Spaces: Standard and welded butt hinges are ideal for commercial properties, providing smooth functionality at an affordable cost.

• Premium Spaces: 3D adjustable hinges are ideal for spaces with a premium interior since they are concealed inside a door and frame. They remain hidden from plain view giving a seamless look to any space.
