All my hinges at the moment are loose pin and the doors come off in seconds if we need them to (moving furniture or to make it easier to paint etc..etc.)
We're replacing the doors with better quality ones (poss engineered oak) which will be heavier and I need to get new hinges but dont know if I need to get a different kind now?
Are the loose pin type not as strong? Any pointers on what to get would be helpful.
I think we're having solid stainless steel handles .....(unless there's a reason not to that I dont know about!


I think.

Also do the hinges just sit on the door edge or do they need rebated? Or does that depend on what kind of hinge it is?
Ours just sit on the door edge just now and there's always been an annoying (to me) bigger gap down the length of the door than I would have preferred, because of this. Was that because of the type of hinge...or lazy joinery?
Advice please?
