There are a few things you should keep in mind when selecting and installing hinges for glass doors. The most important things to consider are the security and quality that the hinge offers instead of how it looks when selecting a hinge. The arm of the hinge should be at a 90-degree angle with the door, so it opens properly. You should not adjust the screws any more than necessary, because that can strip the wood, making it hard to secure the screws. Screws should be put in all of the holes in the base of the hinge to ensure that it holds the weight of the door.
You better determine whether the hinges for glass doors will be on an interior or exterior door. You should consider the corrosive effects of the sun, snow and rain when selecting door hinges. You must also know how to care for those hinges in addition to knowing what door hinges to select. This includes both oiling the hinges regularly and inspecting hinges for any damage. If you know how to properly care for hinges, they will not need to be replaced very often and will not warrant major repairs. Oiling door hinges will also prevent annoying creaking.
If your hinges for glass doors creak, then it needs to be oiled. This is a fairly easy problem to fix. First, you should get some penetrating oil and rags. It is also good to have a screwdriver. The penetrating oil should come in a can with a small spout or a spray can with a nozzle in order to get the oil directly onto the door hinges. The oil should be applied to the round pin. On many doors, this will be a round pin that is located between the flat plates of the hinge.
