Choosing hinges for installing doors you need with great attention. The range of fittings is very rich and wide. By type of installation, all fasteners can conditionally be divided into several types. Each has a specific functionality that is required with different door curtains.
Mortise hinges
They are one of the varieties of the internal curtains, which are made of two connected plates fastening the door to the box. Such products are also called card products. They differ from invoices in that they are not visible in the box of a closed door. The noticeable part is the element that covers the pivot pin, providing a smooth opening and closing.
The advantage of mortise curtains is their detachable design, which contributes to the rapid removal of the door. Overhead loops do not have this feature. There is a universal hardware that fits any type of door and consists of an integral mechanism. To remove the door with these curtains, it is necessary to unscrew it from the hinge.
Often mortise fittings can be seen in dwellings with a "Soviet" interior. It continues to produce on the basis of the strongest alloys. Choosing this type of curtains, you need to consider the features of opening the door. Many loops are marked with special letters for convenience.
Overhead outer hinges
Overhead door hinges - a type of outdoor hardware. These are the oldest of all types of mounts. There is a wide variety of shapes and colors that are combined by a common installation method. Installing such accessories is simple without first preparing the door leaf and frame. The basic installation principle is as follows: one part of the hinge is screwed to the door, the other to the box. Fastening is carried out using screws.
Overhead hinges are not just hardware, it is part of the door that holds two boards together. Today they are products made of red-hot steel, which are used in many rooms for household purposes (in sheds and gates, as well as on gates). Now forged accessories are becoming fashionable, appropriate in design in the interiors of “retro” and “shabby chic”. Overhead hinges look good on the doors of apartments and houses, designed in the old style.
Interior fittings
Overhead loops are internal. Constructions appeared on the hardware market that are similar to mortise ones according to the installation principle. They differ only in the ability not to insert the product into the door and box. The unique design of the patch loop allows you to fix the structure with screws. The hinges are made in such a way that the side that is attached to the door leaf enters the one that connects to the door frame.
Similar hinges are widespread in interior and exterior doors. Their technology does not require much effort to install. Therefore, almost everyone can independently hang the door. The loop invoice without insert is very convenient. The exception is only heavy doors, they require more stable fittings.
Screw curtains
In another way they are called screwed. This is an innovation in the door market. Just like door hinges, they are easy to mount. When screwed into the canvas and the box, the entire structure is ideally fixed. Additional height adjustment facilitates accurate and perfect installation. This is a universal type of curtain. They are used for frame structures. Today, many manufacturers make doors specifically for this type of hinge.
