Door Hardware - Buy Locks, Handles & Butt Hinges Online

Door hardware is what makes a door actually function - the hinges it swings on, and the lock and handle that secure and open it. At Fixxly, this range covers TplusA stainless steel butt hinges in SS 202 and SS 304 grades, alongside Hettich hardware for doors and cabinets. This guide covers the core door hardware stocked here, how to specify it correctly for different doors, and what to check before ordering.

Butt hinges for doors

TplusA's SS 202 and SS 304 butt hinges come in sizes from 3x2x1.7 inch up to 5x4.5x3 inch, with SS 304 offering greater corrosion resistance for bathroom or exterior doors facing regular moisture. Sizing the hinge correctly to the door's weight is the first decision - an undersized hinge on a solid or oversized door will sag and bind within months, while an appropriately sized one carries the load without strain for years.

Locks and handles

A door's security and daily usability come down to its lock and handle working smoothly together - matching the handle style and lock type to the door's purpose, from a simple latch on an internal door to a full mortise lock on an entrance, is the starting point for specifying door hardware correctly. Entrance doors deserve the strongest lock available; internal doors generally need only a simple latch or privacy lock.

Choosing hardware by door type

Different doors in a home have different real requirements. An entrance door needs a robust lock, corrosion-resistant hinges if it faces the weather, and a handle rated for heavy daily use. A bathroom door benefits from SS 304 hinges given the humidity, plus a privacy latch rather than a full lock. Internal bedroom and storage doors can generally use simpler SS 202 hardware, since they face less mechanical stress and no significant moisture.

• Standard interior doors: SS 202 hinges are sufficient.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fixxly stock genuine door hardware?

Yes - every hinge and fitting in this range on Fixxly is genuine TplusA or Hettich.

What is the difference between SS 202 and SS 304 hinges?

SS 304 offers greater corrosion resistance than SS 202, making it the better choice for bathroom or exterior doors.

How do I choose the right hinge size for a door?

Match the hinge size to the door's weight and dimensions - a heavier or larger door needs a bigger, sturdier hinge to avoid sagging over time.

What lock should I use on an entrance door versus an internal door?

An entrance door needs a robust, secure lock, while internal doors generally need only a simple latch or privacy lock, since security requirements differ significantly between the two.

Why does my door hinge sag over time?

An undersized hinge for the door's actual weight is the most common cause - a solid or oversized door needs a correspondingly sturdier hinge, and using one rated too light lets the door sag and bind within months.
