Sizes, materials and applications
Sizes 76×76 and 89×89 are the standard sizes for interior and exterior doors. 76×76 stainless steel hinges are often sufficient for lightweight interior doors. Choose 89×89 stainless steel hinges or 89×89 ball-bearing hinges for heavier doors or intensive use. For tall or solid doors, we recommend using three hinges to prevent sagging and distribute the load.
Choice of material: 304 stainless steel is suitable for indoor use and sheltered outdoor areas. 316 stainless steel offers the best corrosion resistance in coastal areas and damp environments. Fancy a different look? Stainless steel is available in brushed, matt or with a PVD coating, such as black stainless steel, for a modern look that complements stainless steel door handles and escutcheons beautifully. Alternatively, opt for brass hinges for a warm look, or gold door hinges for a premium finish.
Installation tip: use a suitable 89×89 or 76×76 cutting template for a flush fit and consistent hinge depth. Check the screw hole patterns and the hinge side in advance to ensure a seamless fit.

Frequently asked questions about stainless steel hinges
Are stainless steel hinges really rust-proof?
Stainless steel is rust-resistant, not rust-free in the absolute sense. Under normal conditions, 304 stainless steel hinges perform excellently. In salty or very damp environments, 316 stainless steel offers extra protection against corrosion and rust formation.
What is the strongest type of hinge?
For doors, stainless steel ball-bearing hinges are the strongest and most wear-resistant thanks to their ball bearings. For gates and fences, heavy-duty stainless steel gate hinges or welded hinges are the best choice due to their high load-bearing capacity.
What does ‘inox’ mean in relation to hinges?
‘Inox’ is another term for stainless steel. A ‘stainless steel piano hinge’ or ‘stainless steel hinge’ therefore refers to the same material, which offers high corrosion resistance and a long service life.
