There are four main types of door hinges:
- Butt/Mortise Hinges, usually in threes, which are inset into the door and frame
- Continuous Hinges, which run the entire length of the door (also known as a "Piano Hinge")
- Pivot Hinges which pivot in openings in the floor and the top of the door frame
- Concealed Hinges used for furniture doors (with or without self closing feature, with or without dampening systems) they are made of 2 parts, 1 part is the hinge cup and the arm, the other part is the mounting plate.
