Most standard hinges have both leaves at the same width. but if your application requires different width leaves, Guden can supply that customization quickly and easily.  Just give us the overall dimensions you require and include the width dimension for each leaf.  Each width is dimensioned from the center of the pin to the edge of the leaf.  While any combination of widths can be made, it's more economical if you can have the total width still be a standard width.   For example, 3" overall, with a 2" and a 1" leaf is much more manageable than a 3.25" overall, with a 2.25" and a 1" leaf.  Check out more information on Guden Custom Hinges here and submit your design requirements for a quick and easy quotation.
