Parliament Hinges
Parliament Hinges for Doors & Architraves
Parliament hinges are the solution when a door needs to swing fully clear of a deep architrave, a wall reveal, or any obstruction that a standard butt hinge cannot accommodate. The extended offset arm moves the pivot point well away from the door face, allowing a full 180-degree swing without the leading edge catching on anything in its path.
The MAZU House parliament hinge range covers the finishes and sizes needed for both period and contemporary interiors, from antique brass and satin chrome through to matte black, selected from trusted architectural hardware brands for finish consistency and long-term durability.
Choosing the Right Parliament Hinge
The critical measurement is the throw width, being the distance the barrel projects from the door face. This needs to exceed the total depth of your architrave profile for the door to clear it completely on opening. For standard residential doors, parliament hinges are typically fitted in pairs or sets of three, with three recommended for heavier or taller doors to distribute load evenly across the frame.
Finish selection should follow the same hardware used elsewhere on the door set. Antique and brass finishes suit period homes with traditional joinery profiles. Satin chrome and matte black sit cleanly in contemporary interiors where the hardware is meant to recede rather than announce itself.

Completing Your Door Set
Parliament hinges work as part of a complete door specification. Once the swing clearance is resolved, the door handles, mortice locks, and door latches need to match both the hinge finish and the design direction of the space.
