What hinges for interior door

[RobTi]

hi looking to get a couple of 6 panel interior doors the £20 type from B and Q so just wondered what you recommend for hinges ?
Thanks

Brass, 2" or longer. One pair of should be fine. Go for 2.5" if you want a bit more security, or 3" if it's a heavy door, but most 6 panel doors nowadays are as light as anything.

So not easy hang hinges but butt hinges, have I got this right ?

Thanks

You can use either type , my concern would be the cheap panel doors , often no internal timber just polystyrene blocks that do not prevent the door bulging once fitted. Had to return a dozen doors like that which all failed.

I'd always recommend butt hinges. I've come across doors fitted with easy hang hinges, and it doesn't look good, and the hinges are never as stong as butt hinges are.

butt hinges and I would never go below 3"
3" on a33/35mm door and 4" on a 44mm pair and a half for fire doors
