Directions
After determining the weight and width of the door, draw a straight line through the door width and weight to line “A”,
as indicated in the example. Continue with a horizontal line sideways from the point of intersection with line “A”. Use
the number of hinges indicated on this line.
The general rule used to determine the number of hinges is:
Every door should be provided with at least one hinge for every
30"
in height or portion thereof; however, more hinges may be
required per chart.
For example, a 90” door needs three hinges and a 91” door needs four.

Choosing the Right Number of Hinges
A wood door 30" wide, 200 lbs., with a thickness of 1-3/4" will
require four #518 hinges. The red line shows how the sizing and
selection were determined from the hinge sizing chart.
