Source for Lift Off Door Hinges?

Hi all, I bought two doors at BIG yesterday that have the lift off hinges on the doors – but they were missing their partners. Can anyone recommend a source for these? Thanks

I think you are trying to buy just the frame portion of the hinge. It is unlikely that you would find just the hinge half at a salvage place but anything is possible given enough time. You may get lucky on Ebay if you want to keep checking each week. Certainly you are not going to get the 1/2 new. If you remove the existing hinge 1/2 you may find the makers name stamped or cast into the back. If you do find the frame 1/2’s salvaged you are going to have to match the manufacturer as there will probably be enough difference between manufacurers that they will not interchange. If the hinges do not match what you have in your house now anyway just pull off the olive hinge halves, recut the mortise and install standard loose pin hinges.

olde good things in manhattan stocks them at one of their two locations, but probably run the same as new in price…otherwise dave saundersand murray kessler in manhattan both stock new hinges that may or may not mate with your half set…pullthe hinge from the door to make sure that whatever you buy fits properly

They’re called olive/knuckle hinges. Available all over the place I think. Look online. I know Dykes on 6th St has a supplier for them.
