Butt Hinge

Butt hinges are a type of hinge commonly used in doors and cabinets. They are part of the supply class Hardware, specifically in the Commercial category. In the supply group Hardware And Abrasives, butt hinges are considered essential hardware components.

Butt hinges consist of two metal plates, one attached to the door or cabinet frame and the other to the door or cabinet itself. These plates are connected by a pin, allowing the door or cabinet to swing open and closed. Butt hinges are typically made of durable materials such as steel or brass to ensure strength and longevity.

They are called "butt" hinges because the plates are designed to be flush or "butted" against each other when the door or cabinet is closed. This design provides a clean and seamless appearance.

Butt hinges are available in various sizes and finishes to suit different applications and aesthetic preferences. They are commonly used in residential and commercial settings for doors, cabinets, gates, and other similar applications.

When selecting butt hinges, it is important to consider factors such as the weight and size of the door or cabinet, the desired swing angle, and the overall design requirements.
