When it comes to hinges, you may first think of butt hinges, which are the most commonly used hinges on the market and are widely used in interior doors, commercial doors, etc. However, concealed hinges are rapidly becoming popular in the international market. Today, I would like to compare the installation differences between butt hinges and concealed hinges using the pipe shaft service door as an example.
Butt Hinge:
Pros:
⏺️ Cheap and easy to install.
⏺️ Compatible with a variety of door sizes.
⏺️ Strong load-bearing capacity.
Cons:
⏺️ Part of the hinge is exposed, which is unsightly and inconsistent with the rest of the design.
⏺️ The exposed part is easily damaged, which can lead to the door being removed.
Concealed hinge:
Pros:
⏺️ Aesthetically pleasing: It’s invisible when the door is closed. Sleek and elegant.
⏺️ Security: No one can remove the hinge when the door is closed unless they destroy the door.
⏺️Easy to install
Cons:
⏺️ Concealed hinges are generally more expensive than traditional hinges.
⏺️ Compatibility: Concealed hinges may not be compatible with all types of doors or cabinets.
⏺️ Concealed hinges are typically available in a limited range of sizes, so they may not be suitable for larger doors or heavier loads.
