Hinges for interior doors - this is the spare part with which the door opens and closes. This part is needed to fix the door to the box. It is desirable that the hinges are in harmony with the decorative elements of the door fittings used in the installation and, at the same time, differed in their ideal functionality.

The most widely used types of hinges
According to the type of door leaf
Door with the straight end of the door leaf
When choosing the hinges, you need to take into account the type of door leaf. So, for a conventional cloth with a straight end, you can also select elementary overhead loops, and the canvas with the vestibule requires loops of a specific structure with a rectangular curve of the card( corners).A map is a moving plane with holes for screwing the loop with self-tapping screws.
Door with vestibule
In the direction of movement of the door leaf
Single-sided
Single-sided hinges are designed to move the door leaf only in a single direction. They are right-handed or left-handed. Plus this option - the comfort and speed of removing the door from the hinges when necessary( although this occurs very rarely).
Single-sided hinge
Double-sided
This type of hinges is equipped with three cards connected by massive rods, each of which has springs, ensuring a tight fit of the hinge to the door leaf. Such connections are typical for double-leaf passage doors "a la western".In apartments they are used extremely rarely.
Spring-loaded double-sided loop
Universal
They are used for any door, regardless of the direction of movement of the door plane. In building stores you will find 4 or 5-inch lengths of the wings of the hinge. Dimensions of cards for such loops will be equal to 100x25mm or 125x30mm, respectively. The thicker the door, the bigger the loop you need to choose. Sometimes( if the door is too heavy), three loops are used at once: two at the top and one at the bottom of the door structure. These loops are composed of several bearings on the rotary axis.

Overhead hinges for interior doors
They do not cause any complications during assembly. For greater clarity, they should be called unbroken loops for interior doors. Their cards are simply superimposed and screwed to the plane of the door and to the loot. The most widely available in the sale of such products from steel( ordinary and stainless) and brass. For the arrangement of external doors, brass or stainless samples are usually chosen, due to their resistance to temperature changes and other atmospheric influences. But, when installing internal interior doors( where physical characteristics do not make special claims), often choose the usual steel hinges, as well.the price of such specimens is much lower than that of wear-resistant analogs.
Hinges for interior doors butterfly - these are the same overhead loops, due to their name, a special form, reminiscent of a moth. The cards of such a loop are designed so that when the door is closed, they "fold" into one.

Screw-on hinge
- Screw-on hinges is an example of products suitable for a door with a vestibule( with a quarter).In these designs, the functions of the card wings are performed by pins, some of which have a thread and are screwed into the lug and the canvas. The rest are simply inserted into the previously prepared holes. Then the parts of the loop are connected by means of joining the cylinders. The visible part of this design is covered for aesthetics by a cap, which can be chosen for the color of the handle or door closer. In addition, the position of individual parts of such loops can be adjusted later, which is very convenient when aligning the door plane with respect to the box. end hinges for interior doors are a kind of screw hinges, widely used for light and medium-heavy doors. Ideal for poorly installed doors with box distortions, which can be visually adjusted by adjusting the position of the hinges.
Hinge
- Hidden hinges for interior doors are a sample of non-standard hinges that become almost invisible when closing the door. These hidden hinges for interior doors can be made in both one-sided variation and universal. Individual samples of such products, as well as screw-on hinges, can be adjusted. But their structure is more complex than the design of the models described earlier, so it's not so easy to install them.
Here you need maximum accuracy and diligence at all stages of installation. Concerning the price of such alternative internal loops on interior doors, we can say that the cost of these models is several times higher than the classical ones, so mass-market novelties are not used yet.
Hidden loops
What should I look for when choosing loops?
- Quality of execution( type of coating, presence of untreated slices, burrs, etc.).
- Presence of lubricant in places of friction.
- Reviews of the manufacturer. The most popular products today are products of Italian and Spanish manufacturers, such as MORELLI, Archi, AGB, Armadillo and Amig. Their products are durable and wear-resistant. But, it's worthwhile to ask your friends and relatives about what loops are in their hands, and how happy they are.
- Cost. Products from eminent manufacturers will cost you once in 5 more expensive than an analog of an unknown company. It is important to be able to catch an acceptable price / quality ratio.
