It is best to begin by turning the screw a few turns, then test it, and then make any further adjustments as needed.

Butt hinges are among the most popular kinds of hinges for doors. They are easy to install and provide solid support for doors and frames without adding extra weight. However, they're not as strong as other hinges and may require more maintenance over time.

A butt hinge consists of two plates or leaves that have screw holes on both, that are mortised into the sides of the frame and the door. The plates are joined with a pin central to the frame that is located in the knuckle section of each plate. When doors are closed, the hinge pin is hidden so that only the knuckles are seen.

Because they have a wider knuckle than other types of hinges, butt hinges are able to support more weight than other types. However, they're not recommended for doors that will be continuously closed and opened, since the continuous abrasion may cause premature wear.

Unlike other hinges, butt hinges can only be used in an area with a recess. Typically they drill a hole into the fixed object to accommodate the hinges but sometimes, the hinges are fixed to the surface by using a specific fastener.

Butt hinges come in a wide range of finishes and materials to fit any exterior or interior door design from traditional wood to modern metals. They are also available in various sizes to fit into any door and frame setup.

Butt hinges locks come in a variety styles, including ball tip and strap. These styles offer the same functionality as standard butt hinges, but with a different look.

Butt hinges are susceptible to security breaches due their visibility. The pins that are exposed can be removed and the hinges tampered with which makes it easier for burglars to gain access to locked doors. All hardware components must be regularly inspected and lubricated to prevent this. This helps reduce the friction that leads to squeaky and binding hinges, and also extends their lifespan.
