Hinges and Hardware 101 - Spring-Loaded-to-Close hinges

What is the action of a spring-loaded-to-close hinge?  Just like Spring-Loaded-to-Open hinge in the previous post, it should have one or more knuckles removed and replaced with a torsion spring to make it a spring type hinge. This hinge is also best described by following which way the spring legs push the leaves. In this case, the springs will push the leaves together, or the closed position of the hinge. This is important to keep in mind when mounting the hinge to the door and frame so you can envision how it will push or pull the door.
