Pintles

Why choose one style over another? Installations vary and sometimes special situations apply. Driven pintles are used in stone, masonry or very period restorations. Jamb pintles are mortised into the door jamb and are very common today; as well as simpler to install. Surface mounted pintles can be used anywhere, and are especially valuable for shutters and situations where face mounting is essential.
What diameter pintle do you need? It all depends on your application. The height, width, and thickness of your doors are all factors. The weight of your door is another consideration. Our straps are all stocked for a 1/2" configuration, and larger sizes are made to order. It doesn't usually take very long. Feel free to call Orion for assistance (800-754-9127).
 
 
HF-37: jamb-mounted pintle - Jamb mounted pintles are used for many kinds of applications. They are mortised into the jamb as any butt hinge is, and I recommend them highly for most installations. We can also make the jamb plate any size you need. Supplied with 2-1/4" long black flat head screws.

HF-36: driven pintles - Driven pintles were frequently used in the 1700's; but jamb mounted pintles are more common today. The down side of using driven pintles in wood is that you have only one chance for perfect alignment. The driven part is barbed, and if you place it wrong (the pin is crooked one way or another) or in the process you hit an old nail or a knot; there is no turning back. I often recommend the use of driven pintles in masonry, because cementing them into place is a reliable method of installation.
    1/2" diameter pintle (stock item) Price: $68.00 /pair*

HF-38: Surface mounted pintle - Surface mounted pintles are used for very special applications. Sometimes shutters use them. They are also used in applications where the most secure wood is around the face of the door instead of in the frame. These are always made to order according to your needs. Supplied with 2" long black pyramid head screws. Surface mounted pintles are a special order item, please allow 4 weeks for delivery.
