What is the Heritage Brass Matt Bronze hinge finish?

Matt Bronze is a rich, aged bronze-style finish applied to premium brass hinges. It delivers a warm heritage look that can develop subtle character over time through normal use.

Are matt bronze hinges suitable for internal doors?

Yes. Matt bronze hinges are commonly used on internal doors, especially in period renovations and premium interiors. Choose hinge size and type based on door weight and traffic.

What hinge size should I use — 3 inch or 4 inch?

3 inch hinges are often used for standard internal doors, while 4 inch hinges are typically better for heavier doors, higher traffic areas, or where extra strength is needed. Always match to door weight and usage.

What is the difference between ball bearing and washered hinges?

Ball bearing hinges are designed for smoother action and frequent use, making them ideal for high-traffic doors. Washered hinges use a washer mechanism for reliable everyday performance.

Do matt bronze hinges work in modern interiors?

Yes. Matt bronze is increasingly specified in modern designs as a warmer alternative to black or chrome, especially when paired with bronze or antique-style door hardware.
