external door hinges

Reno Everlasting

4 years ago

I am looking for external door hinges that are mortised into the frame above frame/ the door and into the floorer frame below the door. I live in Canada and I actually found some for my internal closet doors at an America supplier in theStates and the supplier shipped them to a local hardware store from home I bought hinges. This was many years ago, and I don't have any records of who the supplier was nor the store from which we purchased them. I now find myself looking for similar hinges for a new exterior door that will be either wood or toe synthetic material.

Any ideas of the name of the hinges? and who makes or carries these hinges?

Thisis the view of the hinge on the top going into the door frame above. The door hinges are in about two inches from the side of the door . The doors only swing out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think it just depends on what you're used to. I'd always had the hamper style, but my new dryer only came in the side swinging. It took me a couple of weeks to get fully used to it, but now it's fine. It is easier to get things out not having to lean across the door, but I also can't just throw wet clothes on the door and then shove them all in like I did before. IMO, it's not really that big of a deal either way though.

We replaced our French patio door with a slider last year (here 27 years) and we are sorry we didn't do it much sooner. It is much easier to operate since the french door was so heavy and it was a pain to open and close as compared to the slider which operates beautifully. We didn't replace it with a French styled slider, ours has minimal casing to open-up the view. It gives our room a lift.

Personally I prefer polished chrome and polished nickel, but I have traditional tastes. Satin finishes are more modern or contemporary, so it depends on your style. If possible, it's preferred that the finishes in a room coordinate even if they don't match exactly. For example, you can mix finishes, but I'd keep them to two if possible. If you're building a home from the ground up, and have the option of matching the hardware to the fittings, then that probably is the best route. So either all satin nickel, satin chrome, polished nickel or polished chrome. If it's too late to do that then I'd try to at least match the finishes if you can't match the metals. Hope that helps.

Look at RocYork or Soss concealed hinges. That's what is usually used for a concealed hinge door. It is a lot more work than a typical butt hinge and they are quite expensive hinges for a solid core door.
