The Frelan Hardware 76mm Ball Bearing Butt Hinge Black is suitable for internal residential doors 35mm thick.  A pair of hinges is adequate; however, we would always suggest fitting 3 hinges per door as this will look more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. From a practical point of view the use of 3 hinges will help to overcome twisting or warping which sometimes happens to doors over a period of time where heat and moisture are a factor, for instance bathroom and airing cupboard doors.
Ball bearing hinges have always been very popular for their smooth operation, durability, long lasting design and ability to carry heavier loads than washered hinges.
Hinge Finish and Size
This durable steel hinge is 76mm x 50mm and comes in a black finish. There are also other finish variations available in the related products.
Internal Use Only
These hinges are an alternative to stainless steel hinges and are made from steel which is not suited to external use.  If used on external doors they will potentially, over time begin to exhibit patches of rust around the knuckle.  For external doors use the better quality stainless steel versions.Â
