Strap
Hinges
Strap hinges are the sturdiest of period styles and can range in lengths
from 8” to 48” and larger. Usually spanning 1/2 to 2/3
of a door's width, our strap hinges reflect the best characteristics
of craftsmanship and design from the 18th century. The surface of
each hinge is fully worked and deep beveling is painstakingly hammered
into each edge.
(Please specify “Bean”, “Arrow-Head”,
“Ball & Spear” or "Heart” finial end). |

Dummy
Strap Hinges
These are an effective way to embellish the exterior side of an entrance
door in a historically correct manner. Simply a design element, the
larger sizes can be used on garage or carriage house doors.

Pintle
Styles
We hand-forge 3 pintle styles to work with any jamb detail. 18th century
door framing usually provided a hardwood post into which a drive pintle
would be mounted. These pintles can be used with modern framing as
well. We also make the (I) “Jamb Mounted” and (J) “Plate
Mounted” pintles, which the installer may find more workable
for certain applications. The pin sizes are 1/2” dia. for 30”
and 24” straps, 3/8” dia. for 18” and 12”
straps.
(Please specify right or left handing when ordering “Jamb
Mounted” pintle).

Strap
Hinge & Pintle Mounting
Details
1) The
“Jamb Mounted” pintle is mounted into a mortise on the face of the jamb.
2) The “Plate Mounted” pintle is surface mounted on the door casing and straps are furnished with an “Offset” to position door flush with casing.
3) The “Drive” pintle is installed at a 20° angle into the framing behind the casing. For modern framing with 2 x 4’s,
the pintle intersects both studs.
