Torsion hinge - for doors

[ldoodle]

Hey,

I've seen these before - http://www.rockler.com/lid-stay-torsion-hinge-lid-support-satin-nickel

Can you get them for standard internal doors, to replace normal butt hinges. I have wood flooring everywhere downstairs so have clearance underneath to stop rubbing. That means the doors swing and 'bounce' on the latch with windows open.

My Googling is letting me down

Thanks.

Not sure what you problem is, but if you doors don't close properly the latches need refitting correctly..

No. That type of hinge is a small cabinet hinge and completely unsuitable for use as a door hinges. The nearest I can think of for full size doors would be the Soss hinge which are sometimes used on high end installs (and are very expensive), but as Foxhole says it sounds more like your latch plates need adjustment

Thanks. The doors do close properly and tight.

What I mean is when the door is fully open and you get a gush of wind the door swings into the lining and 'bounces' on the latch (not in it) if that makes sense because of the wind. So you either have shut the door properly or wedge it open.

Is there anything you can do to 'tighten' a butt hinge to stop it 'swinging' so freely?
