Garage Door Functioning Hinge Straps – Collection FAQs

1. What role do functioning hinge straps play on a garage door?
These straps allow sectional or carriage-style garage doors to open and close smoothly while adding the classic, heavy-iron look of traditional barn and carriage house doors.

2. How are your functioning garage door hinges superior to typical garage door hardware?
Old West Iron functioning straps are built from thicker steel, reinforced at pivot points, and finished with forged-style textures for true old-world authenticity. Unlike lightweight factory hinges, ours offer lasting strength and architectural impact.

3. How can I determine which functioning hinge straps will work with my garage door type?
Check whether your door is sectional, carriage-style, or a single swing door. Sectional doors require hinges that articulate properly between panels, while carriage doors use fixed-position hinges. Always verify hinge size and hole spacing against your existing hardware.

4. What finish and texture options can these working straps be ordered in?
These hinges come in matte black, natural iron, oil-rubbed bronze, and multiple hand-distressed textures. Our hammered, peened, and antique finishes are applied in-house so they match our handles, clavos, and other exterior hardware.

5. Are the garage door hinge straps hand-forged or machine-made?
The hinge bodies are precision-cut and engineered for correct movement, but the textures, hammered edges, rivet accents, and final finishes are applied by hand by our American blacksmiths, giving them genuine wrought-iron character.

6. What is the typical shipping timeframe, and where are these hinges produced?
Most functioning garage door straps ship within 1–10 business days, depending on size, finish, and quantity. Every decorative and custom-finished hinge is made or finished in the USA at our forge in Idaho.
