A loose pin butt hinge is a door hinge that has a centre pin that can be easily removed from the barrel to separate the hinge. Also sometimes called removable pin door hinges. Â The advantage of having a loose pin door hinge is that the door can be uninstalled without having to remove the hinge from either the door or the door jamb. Â The pin can be tapped out (upwards) of the hinge to allow the door to be lifted away with little effort. Should not be used on outward swinging exterior doors. Â If the pin is exposed, as it would be for an outward swinging exterior door, the pin can be removed by a burglar to easily gain entry to your home. Choose a fixed pin door hinge for outward swinging exterior doors. Comes with a 10 year mechanical guarantee. Suitable for domestic use. Available in different sizes and finishes.
