Soft Closing Black Garage Door Hinges: Upgrade Your Home with Anti Slam Technology

Homeowner from Heber City, UT

We were looking for a hinge solution that could eliminate the slamming issue and provide soft-closing functionality for an interior garage back door. The door measured 35.5” wide, 8’ high, and 2-¼” thick, supported by four hinges. We preferred a black or brown finish with a modern look to match the existing hardware.

Suggested Garage Door Hinges 

Although a 2-¼" thick door would typically use a 5" × 5" hinge in commercial settings, the existing hinge template is already 4.5" × 4.5". To avoid unnecessary retrofit work, we recommend matching the current size.

Recommended Model:
K51M-450-B4-US19 — 4.5" × 4.5", suitable for an 8 ft height and 2-¼" thick existing door.

Compared to the bronze finish, the US19 black provides a similar aesthetic with a shorter lead time, making it the preferred choice to match the project’s existing design scheme. 

This model features:

  • 304 stainless steel material for durability
  • Hydraulic control for smooth, quiet closing
  • Soft-closing NO hold open to meet the fire code requirement
