From The Anvil Surface Mounted Hinges

Hand Forged Surface Fixed Butterfly, H and HL Hinges

Surface mounted hinges are screwed to the face of the door and frame instead of being set into the edge, so the hinge is on show and becomes part of the look. They need no recess cutting, which makes them a simple choice for cupboards, ledged doors and furniture.

From The Anvil makes its surface mounted hinges from mild steel, hand forged and finished in Black, Pewter Patina and Beeswax, to match its thumb latches, cupboard knobs and pull handles. Each is sold as a pair with matching stainless steel wood screws.

Surface Mounted Hinges: Questions

What is a surface mounted hinge?

A surface mounted hinge fixes to the face of the door and the frame rather than into the edge like a butt hinge, so it is on show when the door is closed. Butterfly, H and HL hinges are all surface mounted.

What is the difference between an H hinge and an HL hinge?

An HL hinge is like an H hinge but with one L-shaped fixing plate, giving extra support on large or damaged cupboards, doors, windows and shutters. From The Anvil says HL hinges are often fitted at the top and bottom of a door with a single H hinge in the middle.
