What is a Self-Closing Hinge?
A self-closing hinge is a type of hinge designed to pull a door shut after it has been opened and released. The installation of self-closing hinges is especially common on kitchen cabinets, so that busy cooks do not need to manually close doors with dirty hands, although bathrooms, some doors, and gates also utilize self-closing hinges. Many hardware stores offer them in the hinge section for people reinstalling hinges or building new cabinets, and custom cabinets often come with a self-closing hinge option at the time of manufacture.
