Hand-forged custom iron from the blacksmith shop

Hinges have long been a standard item for blacksmiths.  Every door needs hinges to make it work and our hand forged hinges will really dress up your door.

Below are some samples of hinges we have made.  As with most blacksmith work the variations are endless. Your sketches or photos, showing what you have in mind, will be welcomed. Please contact us for your custom hinge requirements.  Strap hinges of the size shown below start at about $75 each.  

Due to customer requests we are now offering our most popular hinge items for order directly from the web site without any special design work.  These standard hinges are still hand made individually after you order them and are not "in stock".  Please see our standard hinges page. 

This strap hinge features a rat tail pintle.

A selection of strap hinges made for a timber frame barn. These are made from 3/16" bar stock. Each hinge features a different style of pintle.
Pintle style "A" for mounting inside the jamb. This type of pintle uses flat head screws and does not show. Left or right hand specific.
Pintle style "B" surface mounts for doors that lie in the same plane as the mounting surface.  This is exposed during use so we recommend our forged head lag screws shown below.  Left or right hand specific.
Pintle style "C" surface mounts for doors that lie in the same plane as the mounting surface.  This is exposed during use so we recommend our forged head lag screws shown below.
Pintle style "C" from the top. Notice that this type of pintle requires an offset in your hinge strap. Not left or right hand specific.
Forged head lag screw for mounting hinges or other hardware.   1/4" x 2" are the most common. Starting at 50 cents each. See our page on fasteners for more information
