Door Hinge Angles: 95° vs. 110° vs. 180° – How to Choose with YALIS

Choosing between 95°, 110°, and 180° door hinge angles? Our guide explains the pros, cons, and perfect applications for each to optimize your space. YALIS provides the precision for every need.

Selecting the right door hinge angle is crucial for functionality and space efficiency. The wrong choice can lead to damaged walls or unusable space. This guide will help you choose the perfect angle for your home.

Understanding Hinge Angles

The hinge angle determines how far a door can open from its closed (0°) position. The right choice depends on your space layout and needs.

95° – The Standard Angle

This traditional angle is sufficient for basic room access.

Best for: Standard bedrooms or studies where the door opens into a clear wall.

YALIS Insight: A reliable choice for simple, compact layouts, but offers limited flexibility for modern living.

110° – The Recommended Sweet Spot

The 110° hinge is the modern standard for most interiors, offering a superior balance.

Best for: Bathrooms (easier access), utility rooms, and doors where you want to utilize the back for storage or hooks.

YALIS Insight: We often recommend this angle for its enhanced accessibility and efficient use of space, reducing the risk of door-handle collisions with walls.

180° – The Full Access Solution

This angle allows the door to lie completely flat against the wall.

Best for: Cupboards, pantries, and closets where maximum access is needed for moving large items.

YALIS Insight: Requires ample wall space. Our 180° hinges are engineered for smooth, full-motion operation without sagging.

Your 3-Step Selection Guide

Measure Space: Check for obstructions (furniture, light switches) in the door’s swing path.

Define Function: Is it for full room access (110°) or a cupboard (180°)?

Prioritize Safety & Access: Consider children or mobility needs. Wider angles are safer and more accessible.

Regardless of angle, precision engineering is key. YALIS hinges are manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring smooth operation and long-term reliability for a perfect fit every time.
