Lift off hinges are a popular choice for removable door or lid needs. The lift off hinge is also commonly known as removable hinge, detachable hinge, or take apart hinge due to its loose joint parts.

The parts slip off and can be taken apart, so you can remove your lid or door with ease. They are also able to be put back together for reassembly. This is perfect for applications requiring detaching and reattaching a door or lid. Other doors may need to be easily removed for maintenance, replacement, or setup.

Lift Off Hinge Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common names for hinges that come apart?

These types of hinges go by several different names: Lift Off Hinges, Slip Joint Hinges, Removable Hinges, Loose Joint Hinges and Take Apart Hinges are some of the most popular names.

What Is a Slip Joint or Lift Off Hinge?

Hinges in this category are expected to be taken apart so you can remove a door easily. They typically consist of two pieces, a leaf with a pin (male leaf), and a leaf with a curl (female leaf) that the pin mates with when assembled.
The hinge created by these pieces remains easily removable.

What Are Right Hand and Left Hand Slip Joint Hinges?

Doors are swung in two directions. With two mirror image sets, a left hand and right hand, you would easily be able to mount the hinges on either side of the door. Typically the male portion will be to the frame or base and the female portion will be mounted to the moving door.

What Custom Features Are Available for Lift Off Hinges?

Physical Size - Different sizes are available, of course dependent on the request.
Perforations - Holes, slots, obrounds, cut-outs and other shapes can be done.
Bends - Leaves can be bent once or numerous times to meet your mounting requirements.
Offsets and swages - Leaves can be altered to achieve larger or smaller gaps between them for a tighter fit.
Finish - All the common surface treatments and different plating types can be done on a Lift Off hinge.

For the full selection of options, see our custom hinge tool.

Why Do Some Lift Off Hinges Have a Pin that Is Shorter than the Leaf?

Short pins are for mounting purposes. Most doors will use two lift off hinges. While assembling both curls onto the pins, a shorter pin on the upper hinge allows for aligning the hinges one at a time instead of both at the same time. Line up the lower hinge, then move the door in place to assemble it with the shorter pin on the top hinge.
