This guide is for homeowners and builders looking for durable, aesthetically pleasing door hardware, especially for period properties. The key benefit is the enhanced door clearance provided by parliament hinges, combined with the classic charm of aged brass. A caveat is that the unlacquered finish requires specific care to maintain its appearance. These hinges allow doors to open further away from the frame than standard hinges, are manufactured with ball bearings for smooth operation and longevity, and come with matching screws.

A parliament hinge has a design that allows the door to be projected away from the frame by a greater distance (typically 2 inches) than a standard butt hinge. This enables the door to swing further clear of obstructions like architraves or skirting boards.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth only. Avoid all polishes and abrasive cleaners, as these will strip the intended aged patina. The finish is designed to evolve naturally.
These hinges are generally intended for interior use. For exterior applications, consult with a hardware specialist as environmental factors can significantly alter the unlacquered brass finish.
The overall size of each hinge is 102mm x 102mm, with a thickness of 3mm.
No, the hinges are supplied as a pair with matching solid brass wood screws included.
Yes, fitting three hinges (a pair and a half) is recommended for heavier doors to provide additional strength and support.
Yes, as they are made from unlacquered brass with an intentional aged patina, they will continue to develop and change color naturally over time, adding to their character.
Ensure the ball bearings are clear of debris. If the issue persists, a tiny drop of light machine oil may be applied to the knuckle, but avoid excessive lubrication which can attract dust.
Check that all hinges are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Ensure the door is not warped and that the frame is plumb. The parliament design might require adjustments to ensure the door clears the frame consistently.
This is a natural characteristic of the accelerated ageing process. Minor variations add to the unique charm. If significant unevenness is present upon arrival, contact the retailer.
Ensure pilot holes are pre-drilled to the correct size for the screws. Use a manual screwdriver to avoid stripping the screw heads.
