    Choose the right hinge based on mounting style, clearance, leaf thickness, knuckle length, and other important dimensions.

    The pin is attached to the frame leaf, so you can take off doors without removing the screws or pin from the hinge. Surface-mount hinges are the standard for most enclosure doors, panels, and lids. Since they don’t need a cutout, they’re easier to install than mortise hinges but won’t sit flush with the edge of your door.
    To install hinges without mounting holes, weld into place or drill your own holes.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these hinges to rust.
    Nickel-Plated Steel—These hinges combine rust resistance with an attractive appearance.
    304 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these hinges resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel hinges can.
    Aluminum—One-third the weight of steel, these hinges are often used on enclosures, carts, and other equipment where you want to limit the load.
    Door Mounting Location—To choose a door mounting location, stand on the pull side of the door. Use a right-side hinge if the hinge is on the right, or a left-side hinge if it’s on the left.

    Precision-Control Friction Hinges

    Style 1

    Change the resistance of these hinges by turning the screw. They hold lids, panels, and doors open without props, locks, or springs.
    Acetal—Rigid and wear resistant, these hinges are a good choice for doors that are opened and closed frequently. They also have good chemical resistance and won’t soften when exposed to moisture.
    Torque—When selecting a hinge to use with a lid, first find the torque force needed to move the lid. Multiply the weight of the lid (in pounds) by the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid (in inches). For example: if the lid weighs 3 lbs. and the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid is 12", the torque force is 3 lbs. × 12"= 36 in.-lbs. Divide the torque force by the number of hinges. For example, if using two hinges 36 in.-lbs. ÷ 2 = 18 in.-lbs. each.

    Plastic Friction Hinges

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hinges. Plastic Friction Hinges.
    A lightweight alternative to metal hinges for lids, panels, and doors. Instead of springs or props, these hinges use resistance to keep lids, panels, and doors open.
    Torque—When selecting a hinge to use with a lid, first find the torque force needed to move the lid. Multiply the weight of the lid (in pounds) by the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid (in inches). For example: if the lid weighs 3 lbs. and the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid is 12", the torque force is 3 lbs. × 12"= 36 in.-lbs. Divide the torque force by the number of hinges. For example, if using two hinges 36 in.-lbs. ÷ 2 = 18 in.-lbs. each.
