Strap hinges offer an attractive way to hang gates and very large doors, like those
on a barn or similarly styled entrances. Constructed of all types of materials, from
stainless steel to brass, they can be merely functional or elaborately decorative.
Strap hinges are produced in heavy-duty, light-duty, and even purely ornamental
varieties known as dummy strap hinges.

A scissor hinge can either lift up or drop down, and is used to control the opening of
cabinet fronts as well as lids on things like cedar chests, hampers, tool chests, and
radiator covers. The hinge opens and holds at a predetermined angle, requiring the
application of pressure to close again.
