Commercial & Residential Door Hinges

Residential Duty

Our residential duty hinges are designed for the interior and exterior doors of single-family homes and apartments. Available in a wide array of decorative finishes—such as oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, and polished chrome—these hinges provide smooth operation for standard-weight wood and composite doors. Choose from square or radius corners to match your existing door prep for a seamless DIY replacement or new installation.

Standard Duty

Engineered for light-to-medium commercial use, standard duty hinges are the workhorse of office buildings and retail spaces. These hinges are typically plain bearing or feature standard ball bearings to handle the frequent cycling of hollow metal or solid core wood doors. Built to Grade 2 standards, they offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for interior office doors that don't require the extreme durability of high-traffic hardware.

Heavy Duty

For high-traffic entrances in schools, hospitals, and industrial facilities, our heavy-duty hinges are the industry standard. These hinges feature concealed ball bearings and thicker gauge steel to support heavy, wide, or high-frequency doors. Grade 1 certified and often fire-rated, these hinges are designed to prevent door sag and ensure long-term structural integrity in environments where performance is non-negotiable.

Continuous Hinges

Distribute door weight evenly along the entire length of the frame with our high-performance continuous hinges . Ideal for high-traffic entrances in schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings, these hinges (often called piano hinges ) eliminate door sag and prevent frame failure by supporting the door from top to bottom. Our selection includes heavy-duty geared continuous hinges for aluminum storefronts and stainless steel pin-and-barrel options for maximum security and fire-rated openings. When standard hinges can’t handle the weight or frequency of use, a continuous hinge provides a permanent, maintenance-free solution for your most demanding doorways.

Door Pivots

For heavy or high-traffic openings where traditional hinges may fail, our Door Pivots offer a superior structural solution by distributing the door's weight directly into the floor rather than the frame. This collection includes center-hung and offset pivots engineered for smooth, long-term operation of oversized or lead-lined doors.

Cam-Lift Hinges

A cam-lift hinge rises as the door opens and settles back down to seal when the door closes. McKinney MKCL is full mortise, 304 stainless, 32D, and handed. Four door ratings cover 200, 300, 500, and 900 lb.

Security Hinges

Protect your facility from unauthorized entry with our selection of high-performance Security Hinges . This category is engineered for maximum physical defense, featuring Institutional Hinges designed to withstand extreme abuse in correctional facilities and public stadiums. For exterior outswing doors, we provide advanced tamper-resistance through Non-Removable Pins (NRP) and Security Studs (SH & RSS) , which ensure the door remains locked in the frame even if the hinge pins are removed. Whether you are securing a perimeter entrance or a high-value IT room, these heavy-duty solutions from brands like Hager and McKinney offer an essential layer of protection against forced entry and vandalism.

Electric Hinges

Electric hinges provide a concealed, tamper-resistant path for low-voltage power and data to travel from the frame to your electronic locks or exit devices. To eliminate the risk of field-wiring errors, many models utilize McKinney ElectroLynx® (QC) "plug-and-play" connectors, which allow for fast, snap-together installation without manual soldering. Available in 4-wire, 8-wire, and 12-wire configurations, these hinges solve the complexity of integrating everything from basic fail-secure locks to high-intelligence systems with request-to-exit (RX) monitoring.

Invisible Hinges

Achieve a clean, seamless aesthetic with our selection of commercial-grade invisible hinges . Designed to be completely hidden from view when the door is closed, these concealed hinges are the preferred choice for high-end architectural projects, hidden 'jib' doors, and minimalist interior designs. Our heavy-duty options, including genuine SOSS hinges , provide the strength needed for full-sized commercial doors while maintaining a flush, unobstructed surface. Available in fire-rated versions to meet building codes without compromising on style.

Double Acting Hinges

Perfect for high-traffic transition areas, double acting hinges allow doors to swing 180 degrees in both directions and automatically return to the center. Commonly used in commercial kitchens, restaurants, and retail stockrooms, these hinges facilitate hands-free 'push-through' access for staff carrying trays or moving carts. Our collection includes heavy-duty double acting spring hinges and floor-mounted pivots, engineered to withstand the constant cycling of a busy commercial environment while offering adjustable tension for a controlled, safe close.

Spring Hinges

A spring hinge is a self-closing hinge. It looks like a standard butt hinge, but a coiled spring inside the barrel pulls the door shut after each use, so the door closes without a separate door closer. Spring hinges are common on apartment and hotel entry doors, corridor doors, utility rooms, and doors between a house and garage. Spring tension is adjustable, and they are often installed in sets, with spring hinges in every hinge position or paired with standard hinges. Fire-rated and UL listed models are available; check the product listing for the rating you need.

Swing Clear Hinges

A swing clear hinge offsets the door out of the opening as it swings. Beds, stretchers, and equipment can use the full width of the frame. A standard butt leaves the door leaf in the clear opening; swing clear does not. Used on healthcare and high-traffic openings that need that extra clearance.

Wide Throw Hinges

A wide throw hinge is a full-mortise butt whose leaf is wider than a standard 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 in hinge. The extra width lets the door clear a deep frame, transom, or thick wall reveal and open="open" a full 180 degrees. They are used on recessed openings where a standard-width hinge would bind against the frame or trim.

Half Mortise Hinges

A half mortise hinge mortises into the door edge and screws to the face of the frame. The frame does not need a mortise, so the hinge hangs on channel iron.

Half Surface Hinges

A half surface hinge mortises into the frame and bolts to the face of the door. The door does not need a mortise leaf.

Specialty Hinges

Specialty hinges solve complex architectural challenges that standard hardware cannot. In high-stakes environments like hospitals, Hospital Tip (HT) hinges feature a sloped, anti-ligature top to prevent self-harm and enhance patient safety. For renovations, Interim Hinges act as a vital problem-solver, allowing new doors to fit existing frames even when hinge locations are misaligned—saving significant time and labor costs .
