Lockwood Vivid Loose Pin Door Hinges - PVD
The Lockwood Vivid Loose Pin Hinge is a standard internal door hinge for residential applications. The loose pin design allows the hinge pin to be removed, enabling the door to be lifted free of the frame without disturbing the hinge leaves fixed to the door or frame. This simplifies door removal for maintenance and allows large furniture or appliances to be moved through the doorway.
Hinges are 304 stainless steel with a Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) surface treatment and feature a standard metric pole fixing pattern. Finishes are coordinated across the full Lockwood Vivid Collection.
Available Finish Options

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many hinges are required per door?
Standard residential internal doors typically require two hinges per door. Heavier or taller doors may require three. Confirm the correct quantity with your carpenter or installer. - What does "loose pin" mean?
The hinge pin is not fixed in place and can be removed by tapping upward from the bottom of the knuckle. With the pin removed, the door can be lifted cleanly from the frame without unscrewing either hinge leaf. - Are these hinges suitable for external doors?
No. The Vivid Collection is designed for internal residential applications only. External doors require hinges rated for weathering, load, and security. - What is a metric pole pattern?
The metric pole pattern refers to the standard arrangement and spacing of fixing holes on the hinge plate. This pattern is consistent with most Australian residential door and frame preparation, ensuring compatibility with standard door hardware. - Are loose pin hinges a security concern for internal doors?
On internal doors, the loose pin is accessible only from inside the home, so it does not represent a security risk. Loose pin hinges should not be used on outward-opening external doors where the pin could be accessed from outside.
Additional Information
- Hinge Quantity: Confirm the number of hinges required per door before ordering to avoid delays. Door weight, height, and frame type all influence the quantity required.
- Maintenance: Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the pin and knuckle if the hinge begins to squeak or becomes stiff. Avoid applying lubricant to surfaces that may contact the door face finish.
- Finish Coordination: PVD finishes are available across all Vivid Collection products - leversets, door stops, sliding door hardware, and hinges. Selecting a consistent finish throughout the home or room delivers a professional, integrated result.
