6inch parliament hinges

The 6 Inch Parliament Hinge is a heavy-duty, high-projection hinge. It is engineered for doors that must achieve a full 180-degree opening. It folds the door completely flat against the adjacent wall.

This 150mm size is the professional standard for large French doors and wide internal openings. 6inch parliament hinges is ideal for situations requiring maximum clearance from deep architraves, window sills, or external downpipes.

Unlike standard butt hinges which restrict door swing, this hinge features a distinctive cranked offset. 6inch parliament hinges physically projects the door away from the frame. The verified projection is 4 inches on premium models.

This provides ample space to clear even substantial obstructions. When fully opened, the hinge reaches a total width of 6 inches. This allows the door to lie flush against the wall.

This is a heavy-duty component, not a light-duty decorative accessory. Verified models are constructed from either solid brass or Grade 304 stainless steel. Most premium variants incorporate two ball bearing races in the knuckle.

This ball bearing mechanism is certified for doors up to 80kg. It ensures smooth, silent, and maintenance-free operation for hundreds of thousands of cycles.
