The position to place the Hinges for your door?

Properly positioning hinges ensures not just smooth functionality and aesthetic appeal, but also the door's structural integrity and security.🛡️ Explore St Guchi's guide for recommendations on appropriate hinge placement. Placing hinges correctly is crucial for the proper functioning and longevity of your doors. Here's a quick guide to help you:

Standard Door Hinge Placement

  1. Top Hinge:

    • Positioned 5-7 inches (12-18 cm) from the top edge of the door to the hinge’s top.
    • This placement bears most of the door’s weight.
  2. Bottom Hinge:

    • Typically 10 inches (25 cm) from the bottom edge of the door to the hinge’s bottom.
    • It helps balance and align the door.
  3. Middle Hinge (optional):

    • For taller or heavier doors, place the middle hinge equally spaced between the top and bottom hinges for added support.

Tips for Hinge Placement

  • Use a hinge template or jig: Ensures precise alignment during installation.
  • Check the door's material and weight: Heavy doors may require larger or more hinges.
  • Ensure proper spacing: Misaligned hinges can lead to creaks, difficulty closing, or even warping over time.
