When to Use Rising Butt Hinges ?

Degol : When to Use Rising Butt Hinges ? 

When a new thicker carpet is fitted, installing a rising butt hinge will prevent the scuffing and dragging as it acts to lift the door as it is opened. Lowering it again when closed so that it still fits into the frame, as before.

Anyone who has ever battled with a sofa or dining table when trying to manoeuvre it through a door will appreciate just how difficult it can be. Fitting a Rising Butt Hinge in such openings, especially where there is a tight corner or fitted units can drastically improve the accessibility when relocating large items.

The Rising Butt Hinge operates as a pin for the door to hang off (similar to the hinge on a wrought iron gate) meaning that the door can easily be lifted off and re-fitted without the need for a screwdriver or an extra pair of hands giving you extra space required to get your bulky items in and out.

Current building regulations do not allow for a rising butt hinge to be fitted on a fire door or escape route door.
