Quick Summary

In this video, I will show you how to replace your basic hinge and install a smart hinge that will auto close or open your door depending on your needs. This smart hinge has a spring on the inside of the hinge so when the door is moved it’s under tension allowing the door to shut or open depending on the direction you tension the spring.
