What is a Barrel Hinge

Posted by Bob Bulmer on Tue 4th September 2007 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Doors,  Hinges

A barrel hinge is a very simple hinge based in two parts. It allows a door to be removed without unscrewing hinges from their base.

How to Fit a Barrel Hinge

You first need to drill holes into the door and the frame so that the threads from the hinge screws fit tightly.

Then take the pin part of the hinge and fix to the door facing downwards. The socket part of the hinge should be screwed into the frame facing upwards.

The hinge can be adjusted by screwing the bolts in or out. A Barrel hinge is ideally used for light weight doors or cupboard doors.
