Butt hinges are the most populat type of hinge.
A butt hinge is composed of two hinge leaves. One is usually attached to a fixed component such as a wall or door frame and the other is attached to a moving component such as a door. These hinges are usually mortised or recessed into both surfaces.
Flush Hinges - These are designed to do what their name suggests which is sit flush and they also do not require a recess to be cut. They are not as strong as some other fittings so are best on areas such as small cupboard doors or small basic woodwork projects.
Tee - These are shaped like a tee and can be found on areas such as gates, fences and sheds. They are used because they give good strength and support to the door and are fairly easy to attach.
Piano - These hinges come in a range of lengths but are the largest type of its kind which is because they are used along large areas such as lids or desk tops.
Concealed - These fittings are the most complicated and work well with manufactured boards. They are designed to be fitted on the inside so that they cannot be seen.
