Double Door Kit w/ 6″ Hinges

Description

Designed for Easy Installation

One of the biggest advantages of this Double Door Kit with 6″ Hinges is how straightforward it is to install. Designed specifically for outdoor sheds, barns, utility buildings, and workshops, this complete hardware kit brings together all the essential components you need to hang double doors that operate smoothly and look professionally finished.

With basic tools like a drill, level, and measuring tape, most builders — whether DIY homeowners or professionals — can complete installation in a single afternoon. Because all the components are matched for size and purpose, there’s no guesswork in sourcing parts, and less time is spent ensuring compatibility between hinges, handles, and fasteners.

To install, align the hinge leaves with the door edge and frame, pre-drill pilot holes to prevent wood splitting, and secure with exterior-grade screws. Careful leveling and consistent alignment make doors hang straight and perform reliably over years of regular use.

What’s Included in This Double Door Kit

This complete kit includes:

• Two sets of 6″ heavy duty hinges (enough for both doors)

• Handle and latch hardware to secure doors

• Matching exterior-grade screws and fasteners

The 6″ hinge size strikes a balance between strength and visual proportion, making these hinges suitable for a wide range of double-door sizes — from medium backyard sheds to larger utility buildings.

Because the components are packaged together, this kit simplifies ordering and eliminates the risk of mismatched hardware. You get all the pieces you need from one place, saving time and effort.

Where This Double Door Kit Works Best

This kit is ideal for double door openings on a variety of outdoor structures, including:

• Backyard storage sheds

• Barn entrances and outbuildings

• Workshops and garages

• Utility structures

• Outdoor storage buildings

• Spaces needing wide access for tools or equipment

Double door systems are especially valuable where wide access is required — for example, when moving lawn equipment, wheelbarrows, bicycles, or garden tools in and out. These kits make hanging two doors as simple as installing one.

Because this kit includes both hinges and latch hardware, it’s a great choice for new builds and for upgrading existing buildings where old or mismatched hardware has worn out.

Choosing the Right Hardware for Your Doors

The 6″ hinge size included in this kit provides a versatile fit for many typical shed and barn door applications. When selecting this kit for your doors, consider:

• Door height and width — taller or wider doors may benefit from additional hinge support

• Frequency of use — doors that see daily use benefit from durable hardware

• Intended look — these hinges provide a clean, functional appearance that fits most outdoor structures

This kit pairs well with both functional and decorative elements. If you want to elevate the style of your double doors even further, consider complementing this kit with decorative hardware accents or coordinating trims.

Installation Tips for Best Performance

Achieving a straight and smooth door swing starts with careful preparation and layout:

1. Check the opening for level and square. A leveled threshold and square frame make hanging the doors easier and more accurate.

2. Lay out hinge placement consistently. Use a story stick or measured guide to ensure the same hinge heights on both doors.

3. Pre-drill pilot holes for all mounting screws to help prevent splitting on wood or composite siding.

4. Secure hinges snugly but avoid over-tightening, which can distort hinge alignment.

These simple steps help your doors open and close with minimal drag and give them a long service life.

Pairs Well with Matching Hardware

For a cohesive exterior design and enhanced functionality, consider pairing this double door kit with other products from Outdoor Hardware Supply:

• Shed window shutters to add visual balance and curb appeal

• Barn eave vents to improve airflow and protect stored items

• Heavy-duty hinges for doors with extra weight or frequent use

• Door handles and latches in matching finishes

Coordinating hardware across your project enhances both performance and style, making your building look intentional and well-designed.
