3.5" Door Hinges, 5/8" Radius

These are very heavy and have a great finish.
These are a great match with all my other hardware. I went off the items description when deciding to order and it was all as described. Easy to instal and had all the hardware.

At three bucks each, these hinges are a good deal. The only small issue I noticed is that the "lubricant" on the hinge pins is more like an adhesive. It is very sticky and makes the hinge pins difficult to remove. I needed a vice, a hammer, and a nail set to remove the pin.

Purchase 5 out of 6 as an Amazon previous return. Whom ever returned them stole one of the balls from each pack. I replaced the lower ball with a set screw and it would as they needed up matching our homes existing hinge sets. I saved money so all was good.

Exceptional Vine product to review with a bargain price tag!

PROS
* excellent quality hinges, heavy duty and well made
* identical to hinges that cost much more at the local HD or L's
* come with mounting hardware
* exact size to fit interior doors

CONS and why I am giving these 4 stars (even though I would be giving this 3.5 if I could)
* mounting screws are much darker than the hinges. In the grand scheme it's not that big a deal but they just do not match and for me that's a huge negative because you can see the screws are much darker and look old compared to the shiny satin hinges. I don't know how well you can see this in the picture I posted but if you look at the items still in the box there is a clear difference in color.

I would still recommend these if you are looking to replace your current hinges as the value cannot be beat....and if you can tolerate the color discrepancy.

The size, screw hole locations, and corner radius match existing interior door hinges, so replacement of old hinges is pretty easy. The online description is pretty accurate. The hinges operated smoothly through about 100 actuations of the hinge. This is clearly due to the very viscous silicone lubricant on the hinge pin. The advertised thickness of the hinge leafs is 2/25” or 0.080”. I measured 0.077”. Quite close. This compares to residential interior OEM hinge leaf thickness of 0.095”, so these hinge leafs are a little thinner, but are as advertised. The main issues I have are with the fit and finish of the hinges themselves. As shown in the photos the OD of the hinge barrels don’t line up too cleanly, with some noticeable steps between barrels, and surface rounding between barrels. In addition, as shown in the photo the hinge pin diameter is noticeably smaller than the barrel ID’s. As the weight of the door compresses/displaces the silicone lubricant in the hinges, the alignment of the door in the frame will shift slightly. This may not matter on some doors, others will likely require later adjustment to the alignment. As advertised, the hinge pins are pretty sticky to remove, due to the lubricant, but can be removed as needed. As the lubricant breaks down, these hinges will tend to get a little sloppy. Having said that, after a hundred actuations they were still quite tight and smooth to operate. For me these are a “b” grade hinge, and I will use them, but not on my better doors.

I was impressed by how thick and heavy these hinges are, the entire sealed set had very noticeable weight to it. I was even impressed that the included screws were somewhat decent quality (this is in contrast to the cheaper quality hardware often times included with various fixtures and hardware from no brand/ generic products).

I will note that the price is a bit high for no brand hardware (29.99 at the time of reviewing) this is basically the same price point you'd get buying name brand high quality hardware. I will also note, that some of these hinges started off with somewhat clunky movement, but this quickly went away with use.

These black door hinges look awesome with white doors—very sleek and modern. They were easy to install and fit perfectly when I swapped out my old silver ones. The only downside is that they leave a bit of residue where the hinge meets the door frame. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of.

A lot of the big box doors don't come with black hinges, so while I didn't need 14 doors worth of hinges at this point, I do have a couple doors that I need to swap out the hinges on to make them match the rest of our house, which has black hinges. The rest will serve as backup since some of our existing hinges are already showing signs of wear (the black powder on the hinges).

These hinges fit the description--they're standard 3.5" hinges with a 5/8" radius on the corners. The black finish is nice and uniform, and they come with matching black screws.

The only thing that's a little unusual is that the hinge pins seem to be coated with something; at first I thought it was grease (hence the no-squeak claim in the product name), but it's actually a thick, sticky kind of substance. When I tried to wipe a little bit of it off the end of the hinge pin on one of the hinges with a paper towel, the towel fibers actually stuck to the "grease" and tore off the towel. You notice this also when you swing the hinges--there's a bit of resistance rather than an easy, free-swinging open-and-close movement. It does get easier to open and close as you work the hinge. Taking out the hinge pin is definitely more of a chore due to this sticky substance, but it can be done with solid hammer blows and a nailset.

After realizing this, I took a closer look at the product listing and found this, which I had completely overlooked when I ordered this product. "Hinges with damping oil are not easy to dismantle, if you want to DIY, you'd better choose hinges without damping oil."

I'll be interested to see what kind of a difference these hinges make compared to our other hinges without the sticky damping oil (I would not call it oil--it's a sticky adhesive).

I get this product for my bedroom door and my storage door. first, the thickness of hinges is thicker than other products. Second, the product size is good fit for doors and frames. Third, Hinges has oil/grease, don't need to apply lubricant. Fourth, it can afford a heavy duty storage door. good product. Durability? unknown at this point.

These door hinges are direct replacements for most standard door hinges, and they are some of the nicer hinges I've seen, without straying into high end ball bearing hinges or specialty hinges. They seem to operate smoothly, though note that the hinge pins arrived greased with some of the grease oozing out just a little bit. It's nice that they're greased, which will help with potential squeaks as well as reduce premature wear, but you do need to be a bit careful in handling them around your woodwork, since any grease that transfers from the hinge or your hands to the woodwork may cause problems with paint adhering. The grease is a bit of a thicker grease, so the hinge opens and closes fine, but it isn't a loose swing.

It's a nice touch that they've included twelve extra-long screws (mine measure just under 2-1/4" long) to help screw through the door jamb and into the underlying framing for an extra secure installation.
