In this blog post, we will discuss the different types of options available at Lyons Hardware Tree and how to choose the right one for your project.

Types of Hinges
There are many different types available, each with its own unique function and style. Here are a few of the most common:

Butt hinges: These are the most common type. They are typically used on doors and cabinets. We carry them in various shapes, sizes, and finishes.
Art Deco Hinges: Primarily used in the Art Deco Era, but they can also be used on modern furniture. Building something unique? These style options would be sure to set the piece apart!
Butler Tray Hinges: Used on butler tray tables, many sizes and finishes offered, you’ll find what you need in our great selection!
Butterfly Hinges: Decorative options can be used in various applications, with aesthetic appeal being the big driver.

Choosing the Right Hinge
When choosing a hinge, there are a few things to consider:

The size and weight of the door or lid: You will need a hinge that is strong enough to support the weight. All our options have been tested to withstand everyday use!
The frequency of use: If the door or lid will be used frequently, you need something durable. Our products are ready for everyday use.
The finish: The finish should match that of the door or lid. If you are trying to match an existing finish, we most likely carry it in stock!
The style: The style should complement your home or furniture. Style is especially important if trying to match an existing piece. We pride ourselves in supplying customers with what they need!

With a wide variety to choose from, Lyons Hardware Tree is your one-stop shop for all your needs. Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the right option for your project.
