Vinyl Fencing

Hinges are essential components of everyday life, allowing us to open and close doors, windows, and cabinets with ease. Without them, our lives would be much more difficult! Hinges have been around for centuries - they were first used to make furniture in Ancient Egypt. Today, hinges can be found all over the world in virtually every building we enter. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and allow us to move things from one place to another with relative ease. Hinges can be made from a range of materials including brass, steel, aluminum, plastic and even wood. Many different types of hinges exist; some offer greater durability while others offer smoother operation. Whatever type of hinge you need for your project or application, there is sure to be an option that will work best for you!
