Hinges


This is just a sampling of our most popular hinges. For a more complete catalog, see our catalog page, or call us at 1-800-247-4111.

Hand-Forged Strap Hinges

Strap Hinges, in addition to hanging a door, also contributed to structural integrity by helping to keep the door square. Usually spanning 1/2 to 2/3 the width of a door, these hinges provided a means for considerable design expression by the more talented smiths. Our straps feature a fully drawn taper which is carried the entire length and a rolled eye at the pintle end. Every bit of the surface is fully worked and beveling is painstakingly hammered onto the edges. Each is drilled for mounting and arched slightly for a close fit to the door Mounting screws are supplied.

Pintle Styles

We hand-forge 4 different pintle styles from which our strap hinges hang. 18th century style door frames normally provided a hardwood post into which a (F) "Drive" or (G) "Footed Drive" pintle could be mounted. These pintles can be used with modern framing as well. We also make the (E) "Plate Mounted" and (H) "Wrapped" pintles which the installer may deem more workable for certain applications.
