FLAT HINGES

The Flat Hinges is commonly used on interior and exterior doors because it is neat looking. It consists of two rectangular leaves with screw holes. The leaves are joined by a pin or metal rod. Withdraw this pin and the leaves will separate, handy for when you want to take down the door. Both leaves are mortised, or recessed: one into the edge of the door, the other in the jamb, or door framework. When the door is closed, the leaves meet, or butt together, with only the pin showing.
