Door hinges
Small component, big effect - this is true of door hinges. They not only connect the door to the frame, but also ensure that the door can be moved smoothly. These small, usually rather inconspicuous helpers are therefore essential for smooth opening and closing. We offer a wide range of door hinges - regardless of whether you need them for wooden doors, lining doors, interior doors or front doors.
Which door hinges are available and for which doors are they suitable?
Whether concealed or visible - every door hinge should be robust and durable. In addition, it must be adapted to the frame. Depending on where the door hinge is used, other aspects may also be important. For example, in highly frequented public buildings such as hospitals, offices or leisure facilities, special fire and smoke protection door hinges are sometimes used.
In general, every door hinge should be robust and durable.
There is generally a choice of: 2- or 3-part hinges, TECTUS hinges, roller hinges or 3D hinges. While 2-piece hinges are usually used as standard for interior doors, 3-piece variants are worthwhile for doors that are subject to greater wear and tear, those that are oversized or made of heavy real wood, and for entrance doors. In terms of installation type, door hinges can also be roughly divided into two categories:
- Screw-on door hinges: This variant is not only inexpensive, but also quick to install - screw-on door hinges are screwed onto both the frame and the door leaf. However, if you choose this option, you should bear in mind that this type is neither adjustable nor readjustable and that you also have to make compromises in terms of security. If a gapless installation is also desired, the door hinge must also be recessed into the door leaf and the frame.
- Drilled door hinges: Drilled door hinges are far more minimalist - and thus more inconspicuous. They score with a high level of stability and if you equip them with a security bolt, you make it more difficult for thieves to lever out the door.
Door hinges and hinges - what is the difference?
In everyday language, we often encounter both terms as synonyms. On closer inspection, however, they are two components that are not 100% identical. For example, if you want to unhinge a door leaf where hinges have been used, you must first remove them from either the frame or the door leaf. In the case of door hinges, on the other hand, you can simply lift the fogged door off its hinges. Here you can find more information on the difference between hinges and hinges.

In particular, the load-bearing capacity should also be taken into account, because a door hinge must not only be able to bear the weight of the door leaf without any problems, but must also be able to cope with the dynamic forces that are caused during opening and closing.
The door hinge must also be able to withstand the dynamic forces that are caused during opening and closing.
