A half-mortise door hinge is a type of hinge that is widely utilized in metal fabricating industry. Unlike full-mortise hinges, which are completely concealed when the door is closed, half-mortise hinges have one leaf that is mortised into the door frame while the other leaf is surface mounted on the edge of the door. Heavy duty half-mortise hinge offers the strength of a mortise hinge while still enabling for easy installation and adjustment.
