Rising Butt Hinges?

kenmc

Any idea where I can get 3.5" rising butt hinges? Also how do you decide the "handed"ness of them?
The ones I need:
if you stand in front of the door as the door opens away from you, the hinges are on the left.Conversely if you stand in front of the door as it opens towards you, the hinges are on the right. So what does this make the handedness?
Looked in woodies, they only have 4" ones, and I need to mount this on an aluminium door, so don't want to do too much modification as the holes etc will be different spacings.
Cheers

I see you're in Dublin - If you're anywhere near churchtown then the guys in Churchtown stores will surely have them - they have everything else !! ( not affiliated just a customer ) One thing - If the base of the door has a draft excluder that intertwines with the piece stuck to the threshold you may have a problem as the door rises

Thanks, yeah I was gonna try them at the weekend, they're not far away. I was looking for other suggestions too, in case they don't have them.
Do you mean if the door kind of slots into the frame?? A bit like this, where the # is the door and the $ is the frame...

yep,

that's what I meant - As the door opens and rises the hinge side could get stuck before it clears the threshold or upper frame.


If c stores dont have em - homebase is around the corner - not as ggod but you never know
