Commercial Door Hinge Replacement - A Complete Guide

Replacing commercial door hinges may seem like a daunting task, but with the right guidance, you can do it yourself and save money on hiring a professional. In this blog post, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to replace commercial door hinges effectively. By following these instructions, you will be able to ensure the proper functioning of your doors and enhance the security, safety, and aesthetics of your commercial space.

1. Gather the Necessary Tools

Before starting the replacement process, gather all the necessary tools. These may include a screwdriver, drill, chisels, measuring tape, pencil, and a replacement hinge of the appropriate size and type.

2. Assess the Existing Hinge

Examine the current hinge to determine its type, size, and condition. This information will help you in choosing the right replacement hinge. Pay attention to the number of screw holes, the hinge's swing direction, and if it requires a specific style of hinge (e.g., butt hinge, continuous hinge, pivot hinge).

3. Measure and Mark

Using a measuring tape, measure the dimensions of the existing hinge. Mark the placement of the new hinge on the door and the frame with a pencil.

4. Remove the Old Hinge

Loosen the screws of the existing hinge and remove it from the door and frame. If there are any paint layers on the screws, gently scrape them off for a better fit.

5. Prepare the New Hinge

Place the new hinge on the marked area and trace around its outline. Use a chisel and hammer to create a mortise (recess) for the hinge, ensuring it sits flush with the surface. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific hinge type.

6. Attach the New Hinge

Align the screw holes of the new hinge with the markings on the door and frame. Securely fasten the hinge using the appropriate screws and a screwdriver or drill. Start by partially tightening the screws, and then check if the door swings smoothly. Adjust as needed before fully tightening the screws.

7. Test the Door

Open and close the door several times to ensure the hinge is installed correctly and operates smoothly. If there are any issues, such as the door sticking or not closing properly, inspect the hinge installation and make necessary adjustments.

8. Finishing Touches

Inspect the installed hinge, ensuring it is securely attached and functioning correctly. If desired, paint or apply a finish to match the door and frame, giving it a professional and polished look.

By following these steps, you can successfully replace commercial door hinges on your own. Remember to prioritize safety during the process and consult a professional if you encounter any difficulties. By investing your time and effort in this simple task, you can ensure the smooth operation and longevity of your commercial doors.
