(More customer reviews)Recently, I replaced the hinges on our interior doors because we were changing the color of the hardware to antique bronze. Everything went fine except for one door that just wouldn't stay open after replacing the hinges. I tried everything else I could think of - but I suspect the builders had done something to the original hinges to compensate for a door that wasn't hung completely straight.
Anway, after discovering these hinges on Amazon, I went ahead and bought 2 of them - one for the problem door and another for an exterior door that we like to prop open occasionally.
The install was easy and the doors now stay open exactly as we had wanted. Honestly, in my opinion, there isn't anything bad to say about the function of these - the only issue is the length. The actual door stop is the same size as a normal door stop, but the door attachment adds an inch extra. That extra inch isn't even noticeable on the interior door since the door stop hits almost on the end of the door, but it makes the exterior door seem like it won't open all the way since the door stop hits further toward the hinge (I hope that makes sense). What I ended up doing was to move the door stop off of the moulding and onto the wall to cut off some of the size - which works great, but doesn't seem like it should have been necessary.
Overall, I highly recommend these. Just keep the extra size in mind when ordering. As a reference, the door stop protrudes 3" and the attachment for the door is 1" deep.
