Product Description
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.
Recommended Applications
Where Premium SS 202 Butt Hinges fit best
- Wardrobe Shutters: 3-inch hinges for sliding or swing wardrobe shutter panels where light weight and smooth operation are priorities.
- Bedroom & Interior Doors: 3-inch hinges suit standard interior flush doors and panel doors in bedrooms, studies, and living spaces.
- Bathroom & Utility Doors: SS 202 corrosion resistance makes these hinges appropriate for doors in high-humidity bathroom and kitchen environments.
- Main Entrance Doors: 5-inch hinges for solid wood, flush, or metal-clad main entrance doors where higher load capacity and security-grade holding are required.
- New Construction Fitouts: Standard butt hinge specification for residential projects requiring cost-effective, durable door hardware across multiple units.
- Hinge Replacement: Direct replacement for worn or rusted mild steel hinges — SS 202 upgrade eliminates the rust staining and squeaking common with aged steel hinges.

FAQs
1) What is the difference between Medium (16 Gauge) and Heavy (12 Gauge) — which should I choose?
Gauge refers to the thickness of the hinge leaf — a lower gauge number means a thicker, stronger leaf. 16 Gauge (Medium) is suitable for lighter interior doors including bedroom doors, bathroom doors, and wardrobe shutters where the door weight is moderate and daily-use stress on the hinge is standard. 12 Gauge (Heavy) has a thicker, more rigid leaf designed for solid wood doors, heavy flush doors, and main entrance doors that are heavier and experience greater load and frequency of use. When in doubt, your carpenter will confirm the correct gauge based on the door weight and material.
2) When should I choose the Antique finish over the SS Stainless Steel finish?
Choose the SS Stainless Steel (mirror-polished) finish for modern, contemporary, and minimalist interiors where clean metallic hardware complements the design theme — and where the hinge may be partially visible. Choose the Antique finish for traditional, heritage, colonial, or warm-toned interior themes where the aged, brass-toned visual character of the Antique finish coordinates better with wooden door frames, traditional ironmongery, and warm colour palettes. Both finishes are SS 202 stainless steel underneath — the difference is purely visual.
3) Which size should I choose — 3-inch or 5-inch?
Choose 3-inch hinges for wardrobe shutters, bedroom doors, bathroom doors, and lighter interior flush or panel doors. Choose 5-inch hinges for main entrance doors, solid wood doors, and external doors where the greater door weight requires a larger hinge with higher holding capacity. As a rule, pair the 5-inch size with the Heavy (12 Gauge) variant for main doors — the larger size and thicker gauge together handle the load and frequency demands of daily main door use reliably.
4) How many hinges do I need per door?
Standard practice for Indian residential doors: 2 hinges per interior or bedroom door (top and bottom positions, 6–8 inches from each end), and 3 hinges per main entrance or heavy exterior door (top, bottom, and mid-height) to distribute door weight and reduce hinge strain over time. For very tall doors above 2.4 metres, 3 hinges are recommended regardless of weight. Your carpenter will confirm the correct number based on door height, weight, and frame material.
5) Can these hinges be used on bathroom doors and in humid environments?
Yes — SS 202 stainless steel is suitable for bathroom door installations and other humid environments where the hinge is exposed to periodic steam, condensation, and cleaning products. The chromium content in the alloy forms a passive oxide layer that resists rust and surface corrosion. SS 202 is a significant improvement over mild steel or zinc-plated hinges, which are prone to rust staining and surface degradation in bathroom environments within a few years. Use stainless steel fixing screws alongside the hinges to avoid galvanic corrosion at the fixing points.
