Exterior Screen Door Hinges Soft Closing for Smooth and Durable Performance

Exterior Screen Door Hinges Soft Closing for Smooth and Durable Performance

Residential Contractor in Purcellville, VA

We requested a reliable hinge solution for two exterior screen doors, each measuring 3’ x 8’. However, the challenge was to find Exterior Screen Door Hinges that provide a smooth, soft-closing performance and prevent the doors from slamming shut in windy weather. His color preference is black.

Suggested Exterior Screen Door Hinges

Based on the customer’s door specifications, two hydraulic hinge options are suitable for an 8 ft exterior screen door: K51M-450-B4 or K51M-450-D4.

Since the screen door is lightweight (only 50-60 lbs), hydraulic hinges are recommended to control the closing speed and prevent slamming. For windy outdoor environments, both models perform well.
