⚡ At a Glance
- • Movement Smoothness: Ball-bearing action reduces friction for easier opening and closing on heavier doors
- • Best for: Homeowners and DIYers fitting or replacing internal wooden doors up to 40kg
- • Not ideal for: External doors or doors that exceed the 40kg load limit
Ball bearing butt hinges in mild steel with a matt black finish are supplied as a three-hinge pack with 18 colour-matched screws. Designed for internal wooden doors up to 40kg with lubricated bearings to reduce noise and friction.
Smooth, effortless swing - with ball-bearing movement
Ball bearings sit between the hinge knuckles and rotate to minimise metal-on-metal contact, while lubrication reduces friction further. That mechanical arrangement allows the hinge to turn freely even under heavier loads.
Easier opening and closing on internal wooden doors, reducing stress on frames and making heavy doors feel noticeably lighter to operate.
Quieter door operation - thanks to lubricated bearings
Lubricated bearings dampen vibration and prevent direct metal contact during rotation, which cuts down on creaks and slaps. The reduced friction also helps prevent wear over time.
Fewer noisy bangs and creaks when doors are used frequently, so rooms remain calmer and hinges maintain smoother action for longer.
Neat, durable fit and finish - with mild steel construction and matt black finish
Mild steel gives structural strength for everyday use, while a matt black coating provides a contemporary appearance and surface protection. The pack includes three hinges and 18 colour-matched screws to match the finish.
A tidy, uniform appearance at installation and all fixings supplied so there is no need to hunt for matching screws during fitting.
