FAQs
What is a spring hinge and how does it close a door?
A spring hinge uses internal spring tension built into the hinge barrel to pull the door shut automatically, no separate surface-mounted door closer required. PDQ's SH hinge uses 3-knuckle construction and is UL Listed to standards K8107-1F/K5107-1F, purpose-built for self-closing applications.
Do I still need a door closer if I install a spring hinge?
No, that's the point of the SH hinge: the spring inside the barrel provides the automatic closing force, letting you meet code requirements for self-closing doors without the cost or surface-mounted appearance of a separate closer. It suits light-duty, residential, and light commercial self-closing openings.
Is the PDQ spring hinge approved for fire doors?
Yes, it's UL Listed and complies with NFPA 80-2010, Section 6.4.3.1, meeting the fire-rated performance and self-closing requirements many code-mandated fire door assemblies require. Its non-removable pin, secured by a 3/32" hex set screw, adds a security layer common across PDQ's hinge line.
What is 3-knuckle construction and why does it matter here?
It means the hinge barrel is formed from three interlocking segments rather than five, a lighter-duty joint suited to the spring mechanism's self-closing function rather than heavy load-bearing. PDQ pairs this with its Grade 2 hinges for standard doors that don't need a surface closer.
