Do you Stock Hinges?

No - 95% of our hinges are made to order.  With so many models and types we can't stock any one hinge that will suit every need.

Can four hinges rated at 250 pounds each hold a 1,000 pound door?

No - hinge ratings aren't additive.  For a 1,000 pound door you would need a minimum of 2 hinges rated at 1,000 pounds each.

What is the most economical hinge made by Daro (least expensive)?  

The formed hinge is typically 1/5 the price of a welded & machined hinge.  The formed do not have as great a capacity and will not work in many applications.  Please consult with Daro for more information.

How many hinges do I need?

A general rule of thumb is one hinge per every 30 inches of door height with a typical 3’0” x 7’0” door.  This is generally not the case with a larger industrial door.  Please contact Daro Industries with your requirements for a determination on what will work best for your application.
