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 reduce friction, are better performing and longer lasting.

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.
