Hinge type is a crucial consideration when selecting spring hinges because it determines the motion, installation method, and suitability for your door application. Spring hinges are available in types such as double acting spring hinges, gravity double action pivot hinges, and adjustable/non-adjustable pivot hinge sets. Double acting spring hinges allow doors to swing both ways and self-center, making them ideal for café or saloon doors. Gravity double action hinges use the door’s own weight for self-closing, requiring no spring adjustment. Adjustable pivot hinges offer flexibility for heavier or thicker doors. For example, the WE Preferred 5" Double Acting Spring Hinge Black provides smooth two-way motion, while the WE Preferred Gravity Double Action Pivot Hinge Set Hold Open Satin Chrome is a spring-free, gravity-driven option. Since a variety of hinge types are available, you can select the type that best matches your door’s function and installation environment.
