Door hinges – hinges for cupboards
October 27th, 2010
Do not get exasperated bouncing from store to store like a pinball to find the hinges you want. Instead shop on the internet and you will find the best selection as well as the most competitive prices. Often the kind of cupboard door hinge you want is dictated by the sort of cupboard door you have. There are 3 sorts of cupboard door ; lipped, flush and overlay. A lipped door has a lip cut all of the way around it. A flush door rests in the door frame and an overlay door rests on the door frame. If you have got an overlay door you’ll need pivot hinges. One is attached to the top and the other to the base of a door, and portions of each are recessed into the door and frame making a hidden hinge. Flush doors frequently use butterfly hinges. These hinges are so named because they appear to be a butterfly when opened.
They are composed of 2 flaps with screw holes held together by a pin.
They mount on the exterior of the door and jamb or frame for a singular ornamental look. You will find them in multiple styles starting from colonial to art deco and beyond to fit your personal choice.
