Hinges

BALL BEARING HINGES

Ball bearing hinges have a steel ball bearing, or buffer, in between the knuckles. Heavier doors put more stress on the hinges, so having the ball bearings reduces friction leading to better performance and longevity. NON BALL BEARING HINGES Standard, or plain bearing, have no buffer between each knuckle of the barrel. This tends to wear the hinge down over time as the sections grind against one another and are better suited for lightweight doors.
