Premium Door Butt Hinges, Stainless Steel

Premium Door Butt Hinges are available in a fully configurable set of variants — choose from 3-inch or 5-inch size, Medium (16 Gauge) or Heavy (12 Gauge) thickness, and SS Stainless Steel or Antique finish — so the right hinge can be matched to every door type, weight, and interior design theme in a single product family. All variants are manufactured from SS 202 grade stainless steel, providing strong corrosion resistance, structural rigidity, and long service life for residential and light commercial door installations.

Butt hinges are the most widely used hinge type in Indian residential construction — fitted into a mortise (recess) cut into both the door edge and the frame, they sit flush when the door is closed for a clean, unobtrusive installation. The 16 Gauge (Medium) variant suits lighter interior doors and wardrobe shutters where a standard-thickness leaf is sufficient; the 12 Gauge (Heavy) variant provides a thicker, more rigid leaf for heavy solid wood or main entrance doors that place greater load and strain on the hinge over time. The Antique finish option adds a warm, aged-brass visual character suited to traditional and heritage interior themes, while the SS Stainless Steel finish delivers a clean, contemporary mirror-polished appearance for modern interiors.

Key Features

SS 202 Grade Stainless Steel: Chromium-nickel alloy construction provides superior corrosion resistance over mild steel and zinc-plated alternatives — resists rust and surface degradation in humid bathroom-adjacent and exterior-facing door locations.

Medium (16 Gauge) Option: Standard-thickness leaf suited to lighter interior doors, bedroom doors, and wardrobe shutters where load demands are moderate.

Heavy (12 Gauge) Option: Thicker, more rigid leaf engineered for solid wood doors, heavy flush doors, and main entrance doors that place sustained load on the hinge over daily use.

Two Finish Options: SS Stainless Steel delivers a mirror-polished contemporary look; Antique finish provides a warm, aged character suited to traditional and heritage interior themes.

Mortise (Flush) Fit: Standard butt hinge profile designed for recessed installation — sits flush with door edge and frame when closed for a clean, professional finish with no protruding hardware.

Installation Guidelines

Step-by-Step Installation

Mark the hinge positions on the door edge and door frame — standard placement is 6–8 inches from the top and bottom of the door for a pair of hinges.
Use a chisel and mallet to cut the mortise (recess) in both the door edge and frame to the exact depth of the hinge leaf — the leaf should sit perfectly flush with the surface.
Drill pilot holes for the fixing screws to prevent the wood from splitting.
Screw one leaf of the hinge to the door edge and the other to the door frame using the provided or compatible wood screws.
Hang the door and test for smooth, binding-free operation — adjust mortise depth if the door binds or gaps unevenly at the hinge side.
For main doors using 5-inch hinges, use 3 hinges per door for adequate load distribution — 2 at standard positions plus 1 at mid-height.
