Atlantic Parliament Hinges are a practical and elegant solution for doors that require extended opening angles or need to clear obstructions such as deep architraves, wide reveals, wall panelling, skirting boards or other features around the door frame. Designed to project the door further away from the frame as it opens, these specialist hinges provide additional clearance while maintaining a clean and traditional appearance.

Ideal for French doors, patio doors, internal doors and wider door openings, Parliament hinges are particularly useful where standard butt hinges cannot provide enough clearance. Their extended design allows the door leaf to swing clear of the surrounding frame, making them a popular choice for renovation projects, period properties and contemporary interiors where wall finishes or architectural details can restrict door movement.

Atlantic Parliament Hinges are available in finishes designed to complement a wide range of door handles, locks and other door furniture. Whether you are upgrading an existing internal door or specifying ironmongery for a new door installation, choosing the right hinge finish can help create a consistent and coordinated look throughout the room.

What Are Parliament Hinges?

Also known as projection hinges or parliament hinges, these hinges are designed with a longer knuckle and projecting hinge plates. This configuration allows the door to move further away from the frame when opened. As a result, they can help doors clear deep door linings, architraves, wall panelling, shutters and other obstructions that may prevent a conventional hinge from operating correctly.

Unlike standard door hinges, Parliament hinges are often selected for both their practical benefits and distinctive appearance. Their traditional design makes them particularly well suited to period-style interiors, while modern finishes can also work effectively with contemporary doors.

Atlantic Parliament Hinges for Internal Doors

When fitting internal doors, the correct hinge can make a significant difference to how smoothly the door operates. Atlantic Parliament hinges can be used where additional projection is required, helping the door open further and avoid contact with surrounding finishes.

They can be especially useful for doors fitted alongside wall panelling, where the thickness of the panelling or decorative mouldings can interfere with a standard hinge. Using a suitable projecting hinge can provide the necessary clearance without requiring major alterations to the surrounding joinery.

For renovation projects, Parliament hinges can also be a practical option where existing door openings have unusual dimensions or where architectural features make conventional hinge installation difficult.

Parliament Hinges for French and Patio Doors

French doors and patio-style doors often benefit from carefully selected hinges because both the door position and opening angle can affect how the leaves operate. Parliament hinges can provide additional clearance between the door leaf and frame, helping create a wider and more practical opening where the surrounding structure allows.

When selecting hinges for larger or heavier doors, always check the manufacturer's specifications for the appropriate hinge size, load capacity and number of hinges required. The hinge should be suitable for the weight and construction of the door rather than selected on appearance alone.

Choosing the Right Door Hinges

Selecting the correct hinges involves more than simply matching the finish to your door furniture. Consider the door weight, door size, opening direction, required projection and surrounding frame or wall construction before installation.

For a cohesive finish, Atlantic Parliament Hinges can be matched with complementary door handles, locks, latches and other architectural ironmongery. The right combination can improve both the appearance and everyday performance of the complete door installation.

Whether you are restoring a traditional property, installing new French doors or upgrading an internal door affected by deep architraves or wall panelling, Atlantic Parliament Hinges offer a reliable way to improve clearance while adding a distinctive architectural detail to the door.
