Door hinges.

|I've just come across the Euro Spec (

) |measurements for various configurations of hinges on doors: | |1. For three hinges the centres of the top and bottom should be about |250 mm from the floor and head. The third equally spaced from both. | |2. For doors with an overhead closer, the middle hinge should be set |some 450 mm from the middle of the hinge to the frame head. | |3. If the door is heavier than normal or more than 1000 mm wide, it |requires 4 hinges. These should be equally spaced with the top and |bottom hinges again centred 250 mm from the top and bottom. | |4. If that door has an overhead closer, the second hinge down should be |set as for door 2. | |So now all I have to do is design a hinge jig with the required centres |using a variety of router cutters and followers that allow me to use it |for 3 and 4 inch hinges.

This is a commercial company

and the name is at best a misnomer and at worst an outright Con.

You should take any information on the site as at best commercial recommendations, at worst with a barrow load of salt.

Tbat would look odd, IMHO. The "normal" spacing is 8" up from the floor,

6" down from the head, and midway between them if using a third hinge.

The message from John Rumm contains these words:

It does look odd, but I've seen it a lot recently.
