Butt Hinge

A Butt Hinge is a durable, two-piece hinge ideal for doors, cabinets, and gates. It features two metal plates connected by a central pin, allowing for smooth 180-degree movement. Commonly made from stainless steel or brass, it’s easy to install and offers long-lasting performance for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Features

• Design: Two rectangular metal plates connected by a central pin, allowing the hinge to pivot.

• Material: Typically made from stainless steel, brass, or zinc-plated steel, providing strength and durability.

• Size Options: Available in various sizes to accommodate different door weights and applications.

• Finish: Often comes in finishes like polished chrome, brass, or black, suitable for different styles of doors or cabinetry.

• Movement: Provides smooth 180-degree movement, ideal for doors, cabinets, or gates.

• Installation: Easy to install with standard screws and pre-drilled holes on both plates.

• Usage: Commonly used for internal and external doors, cupboards, cabinets, and gates.

• Durability: Corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

• Strength: Designed to bear significant weight while ensuring consistent movement over time.

Installation

• Mark Hinge Position:

  • Close the door and mark the hinge placement on the door edge. Typically, hinges are positioned 5 to 10 inches from the top and bottom edges of the door.

  • Mark the corresponding positions on the door frame.

• Outline the Hinge:

  • Hold the butt hinge in place on the door’s edge and trace around it using a pencil or marker.

  • Repeat this process on the door frame.

• Chisel the Mortise:

  • Use a utility knife to score the outline for precision.

  • Using a chisel and hammer, carefully chisel out the traced area to create a recess (mortise) that is the depth of the hinge leaf. The hinge should sit flush with the door surface.

  • Repeat this process on the door frame.

• Drill Pilot Holes:

  • Place the hinge into the mortise and mark the screw holes.

  • Use a drill to create small pilot holes for the screws. This helps prevent the wood from splitting and makes it easier to screw in the hinge.

• Attach the Hinge to the Door:

  • Align the hinge in the mortise and secure it using screws. Tighten the screws with a screwdriver, making sure the hinge sits flush with the door surface.

• Attach the Hinge to the Door Frame:

  • Position the door against the frame so that the hinge knuckles align with the frame’s mortise.

  • Secure the hinge to the frame with screws, ensuring the door hangs correctly and moves smoothly.

• Test the Door:

  • Open and close the door several times to check the movement. Make sure the door swings freely without rubbing or sticking.

  • If needed, adjust the screws to correct any misalignment.
