How Many Friction Hinges are Needed to Hold Step in Place
Updated 03/24/2021 | Published 03/23/2021
Question:
How many hinges are recommended to be replaced? I am replacing the factory steps with the new one piece steps that fold up and into the doorway. Our door was previously held by a strut which has to be removed with the new steps. Now I’m looking at either the friction hinge or the simpler less expensive door clip. Is it recommended to replace each hinge with the friction hinge or is one adequate to hold the door in most situations i.e. not gusty, breezy winds?
