A friend is having all his interior doors replaced. I told him I had seen a
newish house that used hinges that allowed the door to be easily removed
(painting, etc). The door didn't lift off - the hinges had a catch that you
needed to depress and then the 'wing' of the hinge slid out of its fixing in
the door frame.

I have looked - but can't find them. Do they still exist?

All of ours have a hinge pin, which can just be lifted out to release
the door.

Thanks - but that isn't what I had seen (although it will do the job). On
the ones I saw the whole hinge unclipped from the door frame by pressing a
clip.

I know what you mean - I can't find them either

Thanks Geoff. Happy to know I am not imagining things. It was one of those
things that struck me as really good - as I always remove doors when I paint
them. A mate is going to have about 9 doors replaced - so it is a good
opportunity do what will be appreciated in years to come.

I have those. On mine, the 'catch' part is in the door, the 'wing' is
part of the hinge and stays in the frame. I don't recognise the logo.

My handles/lock mechanisms however are made by TrioVing and a quick
trawl through their 'Produktkatalog' finds the hinge on page 213, item
No. 2010-Standard. The door part is on page 217, item No. 2465.

No idea where you'd get them here though, they were in the house when I
moved in.

Do you think they are a good idea and well engineered?

I have had them on my doors for 28 years now.
I find them really useful, you can take the door off in a minute if you want
to move anything through the frame.. more space and no damage to the polish
on the door.

But surely the loose pin hinges are just as effective but cheaper.

I think they're a great idea. Had new carpet throughout last summer and
took all the doors off to make it easier for the fitters. Would have
been a PITA to undo all those screws )

Also, I have double-doors between the living room and dining room. If we
have a house-full, I sometimes pop the doors off to save them getting in
people's way. Probably not something I'd bother doing if I had to get
the screwdriver out...

and well engineered?

Seem OK. They're not solid brass, but still pretty substantial for
interior fitting. House has been up circa 24 years and they're all still
fine, no looseness/rattles.

Loose pin for me is the way to go. I've had them for all the interior doors
in the house for the passed 25 years. Have suited me, Sir.
