Loose Pin Butt Hinge

A loose pin butt hinge from Zanda, built to mount and operate doors across residential homes and commercial properties. The removable pin makes lifting internal doors off their frame straightforward, which simplifies painting, maintenance, and floor refinishing.

Butt Hinge Function

This is a surface mount hinge that fits directly onto the door's surface. It does not require mortising or a recessed installation, saving you time on site.

Loose Pin vs Fixed Pin Hinges

The difference between a loose pin and a fixed or tight pin hinge is that a loose pin can be pulled out vertically. This lets you remove the door without unscrewing the hardware. Fixed pin hinges are permanently joined.

Loose Pin vs Ball Bearing Hinges

Are loose pin hinges better than ball bearing? Ball bearing hinges contain small bearings that reduce friction and last longer under heavy, high-traffic loads. Loose pin hinges suit standard internal residential doors and offer easier door removal.
