Ball Bearing Butt Hinge - Single

The quantity, the leaf size and the knuckle are in the description. What still needs a decision is the metal. The hinge shows on the edge of the door every time it opens, so a finish that does not match the handle is the detail that makes a new door look unfinished.

Use the same finish name as the door handle. The six finishes are Polished Chrome, Antique Brass, Brushed Brass, Brushed Copper, Gunmetal and Brushed Nickel.

Polished Chrome. This is the bright silver. Choose it when the lever is polished chrome, and when the room is meant to look crisp.

Antique Brass. This is the darker brass. It belongs on stained timber, and with an Antique Brass handle. A lighter brass hinge on that door will look newer than the handle.

Brushed Brass. This is the lighter, soft gold. Use it with a brushed brass handle, on oak, white or cream doors.

Brushed Copper. This is the warm copper. Use it with a copper handle. Beside nickel or chrome, it is the mismatch people notice first.

Gunmetal. This is the dark finish. Use it with a gunmetal handle, or on a door whose other hardware is already dark.

Brushed Nickel. This is the cool satin silver. Use it with a brushed nickel handle. It does not have the mirror shine of polished chrome, so it suits grey, white or black rooms where the taps are already nickel.

Keep every hinge on the same door in that one finish. Two metals on one door edge read as a repair, even when the size is right.

If the handle is not chosen yet, order the hinge and the lever together. Matching levers are in door handles. If the leaf already on the door is a different size from the one in the description, the other sizes are in door hinges. You can compare the six metals at our Artarmon showroom, or email a photo of the door and the handle to info@luxhandles.com.au and we will name the finish before you order.
