    Default The norm in houses fast fixed or morticed hinge for internal door?

    Just wondering what the norm is regarding hanging interior door in houses is? Is fast fixed hinge the norm for internal door or the traditional mortised butt hinge?

    Cannot speak to "modern" houses but all the houses I have owned and renovated (1970's or earlier) all had mortised hinges.
    In my opinion Easy fix hinges are for tradies that either have, No skill, No time or No care factor.

    I agree all houses I've had in the past were mortised hinge but they were early 90s and earlier builds. Just wonder what is the most usual case these days and was wondering if I should take the extra time to rebate for mortise hinges or not. You know those paused (lack of) motivation times throughout a complete house reno that one is doing their selves.

    Nothing wrong with easy fit hinges for hollow core internal doors. Our mid century house has had faithful service from them for it's life to date. But you must get a decent quality brand.
