Just bought some 3" brass butt hinges from B&Q and had a nightmare getting the internal (hollow) door to fit. I had done nothing else but replace the hinges but the gap on the hinge side of the door was a few mm wider at the top than the bottom and the door wouldnt close. There were two types one was quite solid , so I got that one, and the other a bit more lightweight but I wouldn't have thought either would have caused a problem as they were the same size as the old one. In the end rather than plane the door I recessed the hinges in the frame a bit more to give me a decent fit. I appreciate the door is probaly a bit out of shape although it looks fine
Is their a quality hierachy in hinges or for most general purposes they are pretty much the same ?
Not saying it would have prevented my problem of course
