Acting type determines how the door moves: single-acting hinges allow the door to swing in one direction, while double-acting hinges permit swinging both ways. Most standard and decorative hinges, like the Acorn Manufacturing 10" Spear Surface Mount Strap Hinge and Acorn Manufacturing 7" Rough Iron "H" Door Hinge Pair, are single-acting and ideal for typical residential and exterior doors. If you require double-action (for café or saloon doors), specialized options are available. The variety ensures you can find the acting type that best matches your door’s intended movement.
