Polished Chrome Projection and Parliament Hinges

Why Use Projection and Parliament Hinges?

Projection hinges and parliament hinges are wide-throw hinge types that allow a timber door to open fully and lay flush against a wall — ideal for French doors, double timber doors, or any setting requiring full clearance. Their extended leaf design creates extra space between the door and the frame, clearing thick skirting boards, deep reveals, or decorative architraves.

These hinges are commonly used where 180-degree opening is required, particularly on external timber doors and heavy internal doors over 40mm thick. In polished chrome, they offer a modern, durable, and corrosion-resistant finish that complements contemporary hardware and bright interiors.

Key Features and Typical Applications

• Wide Leaf Design: Helps doors swing away from the frame for full clearance.
• 180° Opening Capability: Ideal for timber French doors or wide double door sets.
• Obstacle Bypass: Clears thick mouldings, panelling, and projecting skirting boards.
• Size Variants: Popular options include 4×4 timber parliament hinges and extended versions like 4×8 for larger doors.
• Heavy-Duty Build: Grade 13 ball bearing options available for heavier timber doors.

Projection hinges typically offer greater load-bearing capability, making them perfect for heavy entrance doors. Meanwhile, parliament hinges offer a traditional profile with cut-away leaf design and are a favourite in heritage or classic timber installations.

All hinges in this collection are supplied in matching pairs. For stability and long-term performance, it's recommended to install three hinges per timber door, especially for high-traffic areas or heavier applications.
