The use of hidden hinges for interior doors

Sections of the article:

Fasteners for doors form the basis of the opening and closing mechanism. They receive the majority of the load and keep the doors quiet. In order to choose the right hidden hinges for interior doors, you need to know what material they are made of and, in general, how to choose such fittings. You will learn about this below.

What to look for when choosing

Hidden fasteners for paintings, both entrance and interior, are in great demand in our country and are presented in a wide range. The nodes have differences in size, external data, production material and other details.

But if you want to buy hidden samples, then you will probably agree that the design is not so important as the appearance of the doors in the photo. Their appearance does not play any role, especially for a metal door. Much more important is its strength and the material from which it is made, because secret hinges should perfectly hold a heavy door, protecting it from the encroachments of thieves. The greater the strength of the alloy from which metal door fasteners are made, the longer such products last in the process.

Hidden hinges play a significant role for metal doors, which is why such fittings must be chosen very seriously and carefully.

Who makes the best loops

In the process of manufacturing such parts, the use of secret and high technologies is not required, the process is rather template and typical. But still, this does not mean that all parts from the proposed range are the same, each manufacturer has its own highlights.

That is why you should not buy the cheapest hidden hinges from the market list, with this approach there is a high risk of choosing low-quality goods for doors.

Yes, and it will be difficult to save money, because the difference between cheap and expensive goods is quite small, and the quality is determined by the price.

During the selection, the help of a qualified specialist who will be aware of the technical characteristics of the canvas and its purpose will be very useful. Fastenings are different, and therefore products designed for light interior doors will definitely not fit massive steel doors.

Hinges made in China.

Such durable products can be purchased both on the market and in hardware stores and supermarkets. The market of our country does not experience a shortage of hidden loops, and almost the entire market is filled with products of Russian and Chinese production. A product from China is somewhat cheaper, but of poor quality, especially in comparison with domestic products.

But despite this, hinges from China will remarkably hold interior doors with less weight than entrance doors.

Hidden hinges used for the installation of entrance doors made of heavy iron, it is important to choose high-quality and reliable ones, which is what distinguishes the details of Russian enterprises, which will last an order of magnitude longer than Chinese ones, with better reviews.

Benefits of Hidden Hinges

Hidden loops have a number of significant advantages. Firstly, a hidden type hinge is not visible at first glance, and it will be very difficult for an unprepared person to find the door fastening points. That is why metal entrance doors planted on hidden hinges look more presentable.

Also, hidden hinges are in most cases quite reliable and last a very long time. Even if minor problems occur, such as a looped creak, then getting rid of this inconvenience is quite simple. You just need to pour engine oil into the hinges and rotate the door several times, after which the sound should disappear.

To install hidden nodes, you do not need special knowledge and skills, even an ordinary person is able to do this work with his own hands.

Well, summing up, we can add that hidden fasteners have a number of advantages, among which are:

• Presentable appearance;
• High reliability indicators;
• Ease of installation.

Additional Information

Hidden fasteners are supplied to the Russian market from Italy, China, Turkey, Ukraine and our own Russian manufacturers. Construction in our country is a rather relevant area and construction details must meet demand.

Hidden hinges are most often made of aluminum, steel and other strong and durable metals, which is suitable for massive aluminum doors. Also, hidden loops can be of different colors, stylized as bronze, gold, chrome, copper and other colors. But this, in principle, is not important, because this type of fastening is not visible to the naked eye.

Usually, the package of hinges also includes screws for fastening them, which saves us from the need to purchase parts. Usually two hinges are required - above and below, and a large load is given to the lower hinge.

But if the canvas weighs more than 50 kilograms, then you will definitely need three fasteners.
