Parliament Hinge long
HINPARLONG
This parliament hinge (also known as a wide throw hinge or backflap hinge) is designed to allow doors, gates, or other hinged objects to swing a full 180 degrees or more. This is achieved by the hinge’s wide throw, which offsets the hinge pin further from the edge of the object being hinged. This design is particularly useful where clearance is an issue or where a wider opening is required. Typically made of steel or other robust metal.

A parliament hinge is a special type of hinge designed to let a door open a full 180 degrees (or more) — allowing it to lie flat against the wall when opened.
Here’s a quick breakdown 👇
🔩 What It Looks Like
- It’s similar to a regular butt hinge, but with extended “arms” (also called wide leaves) that project the door further away from the frame when opened.
- Often made of brass, stainless steel, or zinc, and available in various finishes (chrome, black, brass, etc.).
🏠 Common Uses
- Double doors or French doors that need to fold back completely.
- Doors with deep architraves or mouldings around the frame.
- Cupboards or shutters where full access is needed.
- Sometimes used in hidden or flush-fit installations for a clean look.
⚙️ Key Benefits
- Allows maximum door opening angle.
- Keeps the door clear of obstructions or thick trims.
- Adds a decorative touch in traditional or high-end joinery.
