Offset swing hinges (also called clear-swing hinges) change the door’s pivot point so the door swings completely clear of the frame. When opened, the door no longer blocks part of the doorway, effectively increasing the clear opening width without widening the frame.
This makes them a popular solution for accessibility improvements, including wheelchair and walker access, as well as for homes where moving furniture, appliances, or large items through doorways is difficult. They are commonly used on interior doors, entry doors, bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways.
Our offset swing hinges are designed to meet standard residential door specifications and provide smooth, reliable operation. They are suitable for both new installations and retrofit upgrades, allowing you to improve clearance without structural changes or reframing.
Available in popular finishes such as matte black, satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze, and polished chrome, these hinges can be coordinated with existing door knobs, levers, and other hardware for a consistent, professional appearance throughout the home.
What are offset swing or clear-swing hinges?

Why choose offset swing hinges instead of standard hinges?
They provide increased clearance without widening the rough opening. This makes them a cost-effective solution for accessibility upgrades, universal-design homes, or easier movement of furniture and equipment.
Do offset swing hinges work on any door?
Offset swing hinges work with most standard residential interior and exterior doors, including bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, and hallways. Always confirm hinge size and weight rating to match your door.
