Benefits of using Rising Butt Hinges
Rising butt hinges are a practical solution for doors that need to close reliably without additional closing hardware. On both commercial and domestic doors, these rising hinges combine simple mechanics with dependable performance in busy environments.
Key benefits include:
- Built-in self-closing action: Uses the weight of the door to return it to the closed position, making it ideal for cloakrooms, offices and shared spaces
- Smooth, controlled movement: Lifts the door slightly as it opens, helping it clear carpets and floor finishes without dragging
- Designed for regular use: Robust construction supports consistent performance in high-traffic areas and everyday domestic settings
- Correct handing for reliable operation: Available in clockwise and anti-clockwise options to ensure the hinge performs as intended
- Flexible application: Well-suited to cloakrooms, utility rooms, washrooms and commercial interiors where simple self-closing is required
