Swing clear hinges have two leaves that are bent at an angle and move the hinge knuckle and door edge out of the way when doors are open, allowing use of the full width of the doorway. These hinges are often used in hospitals, schools, and other facilities where beds, tables, or other large pieces of equipment need to pass through doorways.

Tee hinges have one rectangular leaf that mounts onto the door frame or a fixed surface and one long, tapered leaf that mounts to the door or object to be opened. Also called T-hinges, their T-shape enables them to support heavy loads, such as garage doors or gates.

Strap hinges have two long, tapered leaves that mount onto surfaces and provide support for heavy doors or gates. They are often used to enhance design or aesthetics in indoor and outdoor applications.

Detent hinges have internal spring mechanisms that hold doors open at preset angles. They have two leaves that attach to doors and frames.

Torque hinges allow a door, lid, or object to open at any angle and remain in place. Also called friction hinges, they have a series of spring components that add friction to the hinge’s shaft to provide resistance throughout the hinge’s full range of motion.

Adjustable tension panel hinges install on panels and lightweight doors to ensure they close automatically. Their pivot tension can be manually adjusted to control the closing speed.

Gate hinges mount onto posts, walls, and gates to enable opening and closing.
