Hinges

Smooth movement, reliable strength, and stability over a long time are ensured for any door in your house by hinges. Here at Woodwork Manufacturing & Supply, high-quality hardware items from trusted brands ensure long-lasting performance and clean, consistent motion.

What are Hinges?

Hinges are mechanical joints that attach two surfaces-a door and its frame-allowing the door to swing smoothly open and closed. In fact, they are one of the most important parts in any door system; they give a door its movement and support.

They are available in various sizes, finishes, and styles to match your door design and décor. The common types of hinges include butt, ball-bearing, concealed, and spring-all suited for different door types and usage levels. These are made from durable metals like steel, brass, or stainless steel, meant to hold up to years of daily use without deteriorating in integrity or function.

Where to Use Hinges

Interior Doors

Provide reliable operation for bedrooms, bathrooms, and closets while matching your selected hardware finish.

Exterior Entryways

Choose heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant designs that can withstand weight and exposure to weather.

Cabinetry and Built-Ins

Use smaller decorative hinges to provide precise alignment and smooth movement.

Specialty Doors

Consider spring or double-action types for doors that swing both ways or self-close.

Best Uses for Hinges:

Supporting and aligning interior or exterior doors

Ensuring smooth and quiet door movement
Matching finishes with existing knobs or levers
Upgrading worn or squeaky hardware during renovations
Providing lasting durability in high-use areas
