A few things to consider when choosing a hinge

Because the hinge is used in a wide variety of ways there are many variations (as many as 21); spring, butt, continuous – the list goes on!
They are designed, manufactured and finished with an application in mind.
This means they will have unique characteristics useful for the given situation, for example, a hard-wearing finish for external hinges.
Choosing the correct hinge, with the correct properties will ensure it does the job you need for as long as you need it.
