Our contractor installed all the hinges with the stanley logo right side up so which wing is on the door depends on whether the hinge is on the right or left side of the door.
Which way do hinges go on interior doors.
This will enable you to measure the door at its widest point.
You need to be on the side of the door when it s closed so that you can see the hinge pins.
Note that the screw holes in hinges with 4 screws on each side do not match up if you turn the hinge upside down.
Line the wing up so it is perpendicular with the outlined spot and if necessary mark this position with a pencil.
This bevel allows the door to close without banging against the frame.
See the article types of door hinges for more information.
Turn the new hinge with the head of the pin turned up.
Most doors require a minimum of two hinges.
For example a right hinged door will have the knob on the left side of the door.
Place the tip of a hinge wing up to the front or back side of the door.
Set the door on its side with the inside edge of the door where the hinges will go facing up against a stable surface such as a work bench.
If it s on your left side the door is left handed.
One hinge is located 7 inches from the top of the door frame and the other hinge is located 11 inches from the bottom of the door frame.
Measure this distance and mark the location on the frame and then do the same on the door that you re hanging.
Put the hinge in place and install the screws.
An out swing door has the full perimeter of the door frame to secure it.
3 place the hinge on the door as if it were already.
You see most interior doors have a slight bevel along the edge opposite the hinge edge.
A left hinged door will typically have the knob on the right side of the door.
The knob is typically placed on the side of the door opposite the hinge direction.
Make sure the hinge folds together the same way as the door will close.
Remove the screws for one of the hinges on both the door and the frame.
Then gently score the spot using your utility knife creating a clear indication of how deep your mortise should be.
So hope this helps you out.
