To achieve this aesthetic appearance so characteristic of rustic hinges, one of the most important elements of this type of hinges are the materials from which they are made. Since this type of hinges are made with traditional materials to maintain the aesthetics of the past: brass, bronze, steel or the most typical of all, which is wrought iron (hence there is a traditional type of rustic hinge called hinges forging castellans ).

Install our rustic hinges

The procedure for installing rustic hinges, despite their differential aesthetic appearance, does not vary compared to other traditional hinges. Before starting, it is important to have the necessary materials to carry out the installation (screws, drill, marking pencil...). Positioning and mounting of rustic hinges is similar to any other, taking into account the location of the hinge and the importance of lining up the holes with the marks made according to the position of the hinge. Once the hinge is secured with the screws, all that remains is to assemble the frame (taking into account that it is aligned with the mounting holes) and adjust the door to see the relationship of the door and the frame. Finally, check by opening and closing the door that the movement is correct. If necessary, certain final adjustments can be made to improve performance and incorporate an additional finish such as varnish or paint.
