Hinges

Hinges, often overlooked, are essential pivots enabling motion: doors swing, lids lift, and boxes open because of them. We only notice them when they squeak or fail, causing inconvenience. They come in diverse forms, from heavy-duty barn door hinges to delicate jewelry box hinges, crafted from brass, steel, or even plastic, each chosen for its properties. Butt, strap, T, piano, and spring hinges offer varied functionalities. Selecting the right hinge involves considering load, usage, and environment. Coastal areas require corrosion-resistant stainless steel, while heavy gates demand robust hinges. Incorrect choices lead to problems.
