Essential Hardware Components

  1. Hinges

    • Purpose: Hinges are vital for connecting the door to the frame, allowing it to open and close effortlessly.
    • Types: Depending on the type of door you have, you might opt for butt hinges, continuous hinges, or pivot hinges.
    • Material: Stainless steel or brass are excellent choices for hinges due to their durability and resistance to wear and tear.
    • BSEN 1935: It's crucial to assess your door’s weight before purchasing hinges:
      • For doors up to 40kg, three Grade 7 hinges are recommended.
      • For doors up to 80kg, three Grade 11 hinges should suffice.
      • For heavier doors up to 120kg, three Grade 13 hinges are ideal.
