You first need to be sure of what type of door yours will be. Is it going to be a high-traffic door or one that will be used less frequently? If your answer is the former, then geared hinges would be the best choice.
Standard hinges do not work well for high-traffic, heavy and abused doors. The long-lasting benefits you seek depend on choosing the right duty hinge for your project.
Selecting the right hinges requires considering the frequency of use and the weight of the door. You can estimate frequency by merely determining how often the door will open and close or how often traffic will pass through it daily.
High-frequency =Abused doors or the ones used more than 25 times daily
Medium-frequency=used 10 to 24 times daily
Low-frequency =used ten times or even lesser daily
Examples of high-frequency doors can be the ones in hospitals, schools, employee entrances or store-front doors.
To determine what weight-capacity will work best for your applications, you need to take the frequency and combine it with your door's weight. The rating you arrive at will determine which duty hinges are the perfect ones for you. These SGS hinges will indeed work on your solid core door, as long as it's not a high use door (in a commercial setting). For a residential application, it will work fine.
