Why Choose Single Action Hinges?

Our single action hinges—also known as butt or mortise hinge—are designed for doors that swing in one direction with smooth, controlled motion. Unlike double-action hinges, these swing hinges mount to the frame and door edge for rock-solid stability in homes or businesses. Built to handle 400–500 daily swings, they’re great for high-traffic areas like cafés or country clubs.
