What Is Hinge Mortise?

A recessed pocket cut into a door edge or jamb so a hinge leaf can sit flush with the surrounding surface.

A hinge mortise is a recessed area cut into the door edge or jamb to receive the hinge leaf. Proper mortising allows the hinge to sit at the intended depth and helps the door align within the opening.

Buying Considerations

Match hinge size, corner radius or square-corner requirement, mortise depth, quantity, and hinge locations to the specified hardware. Factory machining should be based on the exact hinge being used.
