"Standard" Hinges

People used to ask why we didn't have hinges available for order directly from the web site.  Well, now we do!

Below are our most commonly made hinges and pintles that you may order by simply clicking on the features you want.  These are not "in stock" - they are still hand made after you place your order, so please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.  

If you don't see what you are looking for on this page, please contact us with sketches, photos, or ideas for custom hinges.

Strap hinges - $75 ea

Available in 18" 24" or 30 " lengths

All 1/4 X 1 1/4 stock

Hinge finials - left to right:

round, spade, spike or bean

Length
Finial style

 

Each strap hinge will require a pintle to make a complete hinge.  Please specify the style of pintle as well as which side of the door (left or right) the hinges will be mounted on.  Ordering is at the bottom of this list of pintle options.

Close-up of the rat tail hinge pintle.  This pintle features a lag screw thread on the main body. The tail extends from the pin to help prevent rotation.

A screw -n pintle is the same, only without the rat tail.

A drive pintle uses a spike instead of a screw for use in heavy timber.

 

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" is the most common size.

Screw prices start at 50 cents each.
