The right hinge is essential for the longevity and smooth operation of any door. At M Brock, we provide a vast selection of architectural hinges designed to suit internal doors, heavy-duty external entrances, and specialist fire-rated applications.
Our collection covers every functional and aesthetic requirement, including Ball Bearing Hinges for high-traffic areas, Parliament Hinges to allow doors to clear architraves, and Concealed Hinges for a sleek, modern finish. Choose from an extensive palette of finishes—such as Aged Brass, Satin Stainless Steel, Matt Black, and Beeswax—to perfectly match your door handles and wider ironmongery theme. Whether you need the rustic charm of a Band & Spike hinge for a cottage gate or Grade 13 fire-rated hinges for commercial safety, our range offers the reliability and quality your project demands.
Q: What are Grade 13 hinges and when should I use them? A: Grade 13 hinges are heavy-duty, fire-rated hinges tested to support doors up to 120kg. They are commonly used on fire doors and in commercial settings where high durability and safety compliance are required.
Q: How many hinges do I need per door? A: Standard internal doors usually require two hinges. However, for heavy external doors, fire doors, or doors over 2280mm in height, we recommend using three hinges to prevent warping and ensure long-term stability.
Q: What is a Parliament Hinge? A: A Parliament Hinge has a wider "leaf" which allows a door to open 180 degrees, swinging flat against the wall and clearing any protruding door surrounds or architraves.
Q: Do I need ball bearing or washered hinges? A: Ball bearing hinges contain small bearings that reduce friction, making them ideal for heavy or frequently used doors. Washered hinges (like phosphor bronze) are a traditional, durable alternative often used for standard internal domestic doors.
