Door Hinge Replacement Guide: Corner Radius, Size & Material
Replacing door hinges is one of the most common hardware upgrades — whether you're matching a new handle finish, fixing a worn hinge, or upgrading to a higher quality material. This guide walks you through the three things you need to get right: corner radius, size, and material.
The 3-Step Process
How to choose a replacement door hinge
Door Hinge Corner Radius
Identify whether your existing hinge has square corners, ¼" radius, or ⅝" radius corners. The new hinge must match your door mortise exactly.
Door Hinge Size
Use our size chart to confirm the correct hinge size based on door thickness and width. Also covers standard hinge placement locations and how many hinges your door needs.
Door Hinge Material
Choose between steel, stainless steel, and solid brass based on your environment, durability needs, and finish preference.
