Door Hinges

Door hinges are one of the most important pieces of door hardware, allowing doors to open and close smoothly while supporting their weight. At Doorphoria, we supply a wide range of high-quality hinges suitable for internal doors, fire doors, and heavier external doors.

Whether you’re installing new internal doors or replacing worn hardware, choosing the correct hinge is essential for long-term performance, smooth operation, and safety. The most common hinge used in residential doors is the butt hinge, which connects the door to the frame with two metal plates and a central pivot pin.

Our hinge collection includes durable finishes designed to match modern door hardware, including black, satin stainless steel, polished chrome, and antique brass.

Types of Door Hinges

Different doors require different hinge types depending on their size, weight, and function.

Butt Hinges

Butt hinges are the most commonly used hinges for interior doors. They consist of two plates fixed to the door and frame with a central pin that allows the door to pivot. These hinges are suitable for most standard internal doors.

Ball Bearing Hinges

Ball bearing hinges are designed for heavier doors or high-traffic areas. Small ball bearings inside the hinge reduce friction and allow doors to open more smoothly while increasing durability.

Fire Door Hinges

Fire-rated hinges are essential for fire doors and must meet safety standards. These hinges are designed to withstand high temperatures and maintain door integrity during a fire.

Choosing the Right Door Hinges

When selecting hinges for your door, it’s important to consider:

• Door weight and thickness
• Whether the door is internal or external
• Fire door compliance requirements
• The finish and style of your door hardware

Most standard internal doors require **two or three hinges**, while heavier doors such as solid core or fire doors typically require **three hinges for proper support**.

Door Hinges FAQs

How many hinges should a door have?

Most standard internal doors use two hinges. However, heavier doors such as solid core or fire doors usually require three hinges for proper support and long-term durability.

What size hinges are used for internal doors?

The most common hinge size for internal doors in the UK is 3 inch or 4 inch butt hinges. Larger or heavier doors may require bigger hinges or ball bearing hinges for smoother operation.

What hinges are required for fire doors?

Fire doors must be fitted with fire-rated hinges that meet safety standards. FD30 fire doors typically require three certified hinges designed to withstand high temperatures during a fire.

What is the difference between ball bearing hinges and standard hinges?

Ball bearing hinges contain small bearings that reduce friction, allowing doors to open and close more smoothly. They are commonly used for heavy doors or high-traffic areas.

Can I replace door hinges without replacing the door?

Yes, door hinges can usually be replaced without changing the door itself. It’s important to match the hinge size, screw positions, and finish for the best fit.

What finish should door hinges match?

Door hinges are often matched to other door hardware such as handles, locks, and latches. Popular finishes include satin stainless steel, polished chrome, black, brass, and antique bronze.

Do all internal doors use the same hinges?

Not always. Lightweight hollow core doors may use smaller hinges, while solid core or fire doors require stronger hinges such as ball bearing hinges to support the extra weight.
