Pin hinges are used as a method of fixing scenery together. They are mostly used for quick scene changes.
Backflap hinges are probably the most used hinge onstage, it's uses range from hanging doors to fixing down treads and scenery.
Counter hinges are used for counter tops and trap lids where they have to fold back flat onto the counter top or stage. This hinge allows this to happen without ripping the hinge out of the timber.
Lift off hinge as the name implies it allows the hinged piece to be lifted off.These are usefull when a quick change of doors or shutters is needed.
Butt hinge a standard hinge used for hanging doors, especially doors/windows that open onstage. This hinge has to be recessed into the of frame of the door /window for it to work properly.
Flush hinges have the same uses as butt hinges but do not need recessed in as one side (leaf) sits flush into the other.
Parliament hinges are used when a door or window has to open 270%eg a door/window opening onstage which has to open all the way and back onto the flat the doorway/window opening is set into. The extended leaf allows this to happen.
