Hidden Hinges & Concealed Door Hinges

For minimal interiors and sleek doorways, concealed hidden hinges work wonders. There’s something special about these doors from the very first impression. With no visible hardware to take away from the door’s appearance, these hinges are beautifully disguised.

What is a Concealed Hinge

A concealed hinge is hardware that lays flush within a door to hide the hinge altogether. These hinges provide a major aesthetic value for high-end interiors.

Concealed hinges are used on all kinds of interior and entry doors.

Since these hinges can’t be seen from the outside, they provide an overall smooth, minimal appearance that can also ensure security. That’s because these doors can’t be tampered with from the outside.

ADVANTAGES OF CONCEALED HINGES

When ordering or installing a new door in your home or business, there are many factors that you will need to consider. Apart from the size, style, and color, it’s also important to choose the appropriate hardware. It should go without saying that quality hardware will help you save time and money in the long run. Of course, just when you thought you narrowed down your options, you’ll need to decide whether or not to go with concealed hinges. Here are some of the main advantages of installing concealed hinges and why you should consider them the next time you order a new interior door.

Choosing the right concealed hinge can sometimes be confusing, given the number of brands currently on the market. This style of hinge is typically common in Europe, so many people refer to them as European hinges as well as invisible hinges or hidden hinges. There are several things to consider when deciding which is the best concealed hinge to use for a door installation.

The best and most efficient types of door hinges are always those that provide better adjustability. This is an important point to consider because you will benefit from having up/down, in/out and left/right adjustments ensuring perfect gaps all around the door.

OUT OF SIGHT

One of the main perks of using concealed hinges is that you can completely conceal your door. If you want a door to completely blend in with the walls, you will need concealed hinges to create the right effect. It will also mean that you will need to make sure that your door is the same style and color as your walls. Remember, you don’t need to use this great visual trick on large doors. For example, you can add a pantry door to your kitchen but keep it concealed to make the room look absolutely flawless.

FLAWLESS LOOK

Sometimes your floor, ceiling, or even an entire wall can be slightly slanted. Even a minor slant can make a perfectly installed door look skew. So, instead of redoing your ceiling, floor, wall, or whatever is making the wall look skew, you can install a door with concealed hinges. Since the hinges are not visible, you will not notice that they are not perfectly perpendicular to the floor or ceiling. If you include the first tip, then you really will not notice if your door is not perfectly in line with the rest of the room. Remember, a door must always be level. If tilted in any direction, it might not open and close properly. The door will also experience additional wear and tear due to poor installation.
