I have a solid wood, 30 inch, 36lb door. how many hinges will I need?
934939
If I was installing the door I would start with 6/8 hinges. I installed a 36" vinyl gate and used 2 and it saggs sometimes. A vinyl gate is only 5lbs.

Well it says the hinges (a pair) is rated for 30 pounds. With 36 pound door you'd probably be ok with one pair of hinges. You can always buy another pair and use one of those for a third hinge. If you have kids though, I'd go with 3 hinges to start with.

you should only need 2 as the tension is adjustable on the hinges. If the door droops just increase the tension on the hinge

2 hinges would suffice for a 50-lbs door i would recommend 3 for a door heavier than 50 lbs. the spring tension is adjustable they are quite good.

they're pretty sturdy, I'd do 4 if it's a solid core, 3 for hollow doors (full size).

I have a fairly heavy door with slates. It came with two hinges, the top one went bad after about 20 years. I tried to just replace that with a standard quality double hinge from Home Depot. It did not work, too weak. So I bought this double pack. They are a little stronger than the standard quality I got at Home Depot. That said, I did use both of them on my door, total 3. I would suggest using 3, better to have it and not need it... Push comes to shove you can always pull the middle hinge and reposition to put all four on the door. Note: I am a do-it my-selfer and not a contractor or skilled carpenter. I have a fairly heavy door with slates. It came with two hinges, the top one went bad after about 20 years.

Don't remember. I've already threw away the boxes. The product advertises as 85.5 x 35 x 18 inches. So your 30" door is not enough. But you can pull them in diagonally, as they are not very thick. I think it's less than a foot thick.

1 for each individual hinge...should be 2 per door. You may want to confirm if you are ordering 1each or 1pair.

My doors are 3/4. They fit very well. However, my doors have what is called a 30 degree bevel. So be sure which hinge is right. I bought the wrong ones first because they looked right & had to return them. Also, Iam very pleased with the product that was correct.

Two hinges per package, unfortunately most doors need 3 as you know! But the hinges do the job nicely. Of course you can skip the middle hinge for most hollow core doors.

I am not sure...the door I have it on is 34" tall, 19.5" wide and 1/8" thick. I do not knwo the weight. I've only had the hinge on for about 6 months, so I don't have a good feel for failure rate. So far, so good.

I bought and installed these on a pair of 36x96 doors I made. I used three hinges per door. They worked great. I would guess my doors at 90 to 100 lbs.

Not much. I attempted to use one hinge for a 20" X 40" pine toy chest lid. Had to use two. Good luck.

When I ordered it, they came as a pack of 2. So if your door has two hinges, you would just need one set per door.

That depends on what "just under 36" means. The door should work well with openings as narrow as 35 5/8". Any narrower than that and you may have a hard time opening and closing the door, because the side with the Pivot (Hinge) could rub against the frame/jamb when you try to swing it. If that happens, you could try rounding the edge of the door that is rubbing (by using some sandpaper, or if you're handy and have a small block plane, you could shave off the edge. Hope that helps. Good luck.

35" you may always enter perimeter house doors, also bedroom doors. Bathroom & closet doors will be too small.

These hinges require 1/8" space at the top and bottom and 1/8" space at the side walls.If you are butting two doors togrther only allow 1/16" for each door so you have a 1/8" gap between the doors.

It sounds like you mean to turn one 36" door into two 18" doors. I suppose that could work. By the way, the 80 is more like 78. I had to add wood to the top of the door frame.

You will find two hinges per pack . Be sure to read the weight limits and follow carefully. If your door or doors are heavier then be sure to use an extra hinge on top. I use mine for power wheelchairs and they just bump the door and drive through without any help from me, the door closes by itself and I don't have any problems. Please use double hinge on top of any heavy door-

The door is attached with 3 small hinges. If you wanted you could with a very small screw driver.

The door I used these on wasn't very heavy, it was 3/4" plywood, about 3' by 6', reinforced around the sides with 2"x2". They're supposed to hold a lot of weight: "And with beauty there's strength! A hinge so exceptionally constructed...so firmly anchored in a deep, full mortise...it can hold a 500-pound door" from http://homebydecor.com/index.cfm?page=manufacturers&manufacturerID;=15&gclid;=CIzDi6D6kL0CFUpnOgodMmcA1g

I'm unsure. My doors have only two hinges. They can be installed on either the top or bottom hinge for sure.
