What hinge length do I need for my door

[Douglas]

Choosing the correct hinge length is essential for proper door function. When selecting a hinge, consider your door's dimensions and intended use. According to the SELECT HINGES SL27LL Heavy Duty Concealed Edge Mount Hinge Instruction Manual, hinge lengths like 83", 85", 95", and 120" are standard for nominal door heights, with custom lengths also available. The primary factors to assess include the door's height and width. Ensure the hinge length aligns with the door's height to enable correct installation and performance. Moreover, evaluate the load/frequency rating of the hinge to ensure it matches your door's weight and how often it's used. For optimal performance, pick a hinge length that sufficiently supports your door and allows smooth operation. For heavier or wider doors, a longer hinge length might be necessary to guarantee stability and long-lasting durability.
