Are the hinges spring loaded?

Yes, they are. And the are very good quality. My husband and I share six pairs of them, and he even commented how good they were.

If I understand correctly, yes. The hinge is at the bottom (top and two sides open), like a paper file folder.

The hinges are metal. I've been using mine for about a year now and they don't rust or get squeaky either.

Yes. It is assembled. I guess you can remove the hinges but I don't think it would be as stable.

I am certainly no expert and bought this for my son who is away at College but I would have to say they are not, I know they seem to be spring loaded which is how they respond so nicely. I hope this sheds some light onto your issue

Yes its spring loaded. The picture shows the amount they stay open. I love these pliers!

They do not have spring hinges, and they are a bit heavier than some that I prefer.

The hinges are also steel and the base is welded. I have had mine for a couple years now and still love it. Every hinge is adjustable and can tighten.

No, they are fixed. The set in the hinge space and restrict movement, based on the width. These are only 1/4" high and about 1/8" thick. Very tiny but easy to install.

Yes. Very. And the screws go deep into the thresh hold. Your middle and lower hinges will also be completely secure from being ripped out. It's a great system and I'm glad I bought it!

No, they do not have spring hinges but are very comfortable. I find that the ones with spring hinges push the glasses too hard against my head. Just goes to show you that it is a good thing we are not all alike in our choices. I enjoy my glasses very much. f

Yes, no problem. The hinges appear to be of very good quality for the price.

If I remember correctly, you have to reach in there and slide the two grey hinges onto the rails first. Then the hinges work properly. I don't know why they don't do that at the factory.

So far I have not had a problem with the hinges. The seperator has been sturdy so far.

Hinges are on top, latches on the bottom. I use a wooden dowel, not included to prop open. YMMV.

No, they are not spring loaded. Would be helpful if they were. Mine are still a bit too stiff for me.

These are standard hinges and should support the weight of standard size doors - including French doors. Although you may want to use longer screws to hold them in place.
