An option is to use 3 hinge stoppers, one on each hinge.
Q: If a door has 3 hinges, how many of them should have the door stop? A: Waterson recommends 2 hinges. One is on the top and the other is at the bottom.
A door stop works well. There are also stops that fit on a hinge pin, forming a right angle, adjustable to keep an obtuse angle between the door face and the trim. Old fashioned screen doors would have a light chain fastened to the door and jamb that goes taut when opened.
For standard doors, you typically use 3 hinges when the door is over 60 inches in height or particularly heavy. For Blum hinges, 3 hinges are recommended for doors taller than 7 feet (84 inches) or doors that are especially wide or heavy, to ensure proper support and smooth operation.
Typically, you should locate the top hinge about 5 inches from the top and the bottom hinge approximately 10 inches from the bottom. You can position a third hinge equally between the top and bottom hinges. Use a tape measure to ensure accuracy, and mark the positions with a pencil on both the door and the door frame.
Some doors weigh more than others. A door with a solid core, for instance, will weigh more than a hollow door of the same size. To prevent them from sagging, heavy doors such as this may require three hinges. Installing a door will three hinges rather than two hinges will reduce the risk of it sagging.
If the door is located next to a wall, then it may only be feasible to open the door up to 90 or 100 degrees. On the other hand if there are no walls or barriers around the door way, a standard door closer can swing open up to 180 degrees.
Installation Tips
There should be a 5" distance between the top of the door and the highest hinge, and 10" from the bottom of the door to the lowest hinge. All hinges in between should be equally spaced from one another. Leave a small gap between the door's frame and the edge of the hinge's leaf.
Every door should be provided with at least one hinge for every 30 inches in height or portion thereof; however, more hinges may be required per chart below. For example, a 90" door needs three hinges and a 91" door needs four.
Wide throw hinges are used when you need extra clearance behind a door – typically a door that opens 180 degrees. In the good old days this clearance was usually needed because of fancy wood trim around the frame.
Hinge joint allows the movements of bones only in one direction. It moves in a 180° angle. Examples : the elbow and knee joints.
Despite your good strong lock, the burglar can remove the pins and lift the door from the frame. To prevent this, remove two opposing screws from each leaf of the hinge. Screw a long lag bolt into the frame side of the hinge leaf and saw off the head leaving about 1/2 inch protruding.
Most self-closing hinges work by exerting a small amount of force that pulls the connected object back to its default and closed position. They still have two leafs, which are joined together at the center to form a knuckle. The knuckle, however, is typically spring-loaded.
A doorstop (also door stopper, door stop or door wedge) is an object or device used to hold a door open or closed, or to prevent a door from opening too widely. The same word is used to refer to a thin slat built inside a door frame to prevent a door from swinging through when closed.
If you are working on a hollow-core, lightweight door, you can perhaps get away with using only two hinges. However, if you are working with a solid-core or an exterior door, you cannot work with less than three hinges at least.
Ball-Bearing Hinge
A ball bearings help protect each hinge pivot for added support and stability and are recommended for use with heavier doors. The RSP ball-bearing hinge is used with wood doors.
Typically, a standard door requires x3 hinges. The top hinge should be located 150mm from the top of the sash, the bottom hinge should be located 150mm from the bottom of the sash, and the middle flag hinge should be positioned at an equal distance centrally between the top and bottom of the sash.
