Continuing on from our last 2-Minute Tuesday Rant (2MTR) on door hinges, this video goes into further details regarding the implications and intricacies of works involved with a door hinge.

In this video, I share one of the little detail that give away whether ‘care’ has been taken on the building project. Whilst it is not something ‘major’ that could cause a major defect for the project, it does affect the final quality of finish on the door.

As with most construction works, the simple installation of a door hinge can have consequences on other trades involved For example, if the door was left installed when the painter comes in to complete their painting works, it is inevitable that there will be paint marks over the door hinge itself. Whilst this may not seem like a big deal, the reality of a painted door hinge is that usually the paint selected is not one that will bond with the metal hinge. This results in the eventual dried paint from chipping over time and flaking off the hinge.

In the long term, it may also lead to rusting in the door hinge itself. As mentioned before, the small details in the project matter and should always be considered as it will impact the final result of the project.
