What is the weight limit for a pair of hinges? Has anyone used 3 or 4 for additional support?

Thing to note is that the adjustable hardware is only a part of what supports draw table top; the piano hinge would also bear much of the weight, when tilted and pressure is applied to it. I am using 2 on a pretty heavy table top - approx 35 lbs. Since I too did not know lb support; I tested it to ensure it held. I applied leaning pressure once assembled and on a 30 degree tilt position; it held fine. I am using these for a drawing table - and so think 2 will be fine.

The hinges are fairly stout because they must support the weight of almost any size drafting board you may choose to attach to the hinges. Beyond the weight of resting forearms on the surface for drawing, I am not sure how you would measure any added weight from a tool or other implement. I apply pressure to the surface when I am carving wood, but the sharp chisel slices off the wood without sustaining any prolonged pressure to the hinges. You may want to contact the manufacturer to see if they have any weight or force data which would help you.

I have 2 hinges supporting a 48 x 40 inches of 3/4inch thick plywood, don't know how much it weighs but its not light. It handles if fine, very sturdy.

I can't think of any particular door style that it won't work favorably with. I don't remember what the actual weight limit is but as long as it's not exceeded you should have no problems.

the gates I'm using those hinges with are 6 foot wide aluminum welded gates. They only weigh about 150 pounds apiece. I don't see why these wouldn't support a 350 pound date. just make sure your anchor post is VERY sturdy!

I used 1 restrictor for doors that have 2 hinges and 2 restrictors for doors that have 3 hinges. I suppose the manufacturer would like you to use as many restrictors as there are hinges, but I don"t think that is needed, mine seem to work fine.

These are standard hinges and should support the weight of standard size doors - including French doors. Although you may want to use longer screws to hold them in place.

I use 4 for "lightweight" items and 6 for "heavier" items. The more you use, the better they work. They do make plenty of noise so hopefully, you have a door you can close!

Two hinges per package, unfortunately most doors need 3 as you know! But the hinges do the job nicely. Of course you can skip the middle hinge for most hollow core doors.

I can tell you that the hinges are pretty sturdy and can hold weight but they come with screws that are about 1/2in so they don't go that far into the door frame. I used them for bedroom doors

3 is recommended. I don't think two would be safe for anything but possibly a few VERY light items. I would not try it.

Whatever the weight limit is 250? That is dead weight. If you move around it will loosen the hinges. The hinges are screwed to plywood. They need to be reinforced.

I have three of these shelves -- two I have had for several years and one is new. I agree with that Rich and Andrea that 30 pounds or so would be a safe limit. I know they may not look it or sound it when you read about what they are made of and such, but I have found them to be very sturdy shelves that really can hold a lot and which I think look quite nice, especially when you consider the low price. I use them in my home office and at times have really loaded the some of the shelves down with books, papers and such, and mine have stayed strong and continue to look just as good as the day I bought them. Hope this helps Itzell...

Yes, no problem. The hinges appear to be of very good quality for the price.

I am not sure what you are considering placing on these shelves so it is difficult to assess your exact needs...if i knew your weight requirements then I could make a better assessment. I have only used them for shoes...but they are well constructed and sturdy. They feel like they could hold considerable weight without bowing or bending.

I use 1 per hinge. I don't want one hinge taking all the load when the restrictor engages. I only had 2 doors that needed restrictors, but bought extra anyway. Just make sure you get the right ones to fit your hinges. You can look at Rockler or do some internet searches to be sure which ones will fit.

You will find two hinges per pack . Be sure to read the weight limits and follow carefully. If your door or doors are heavier then be sure to use an extra hinge on top. I use mine for power wheelchairs and they just bump the door and drive through without any help from me, the door closes by itself and I don't have any problems. Please use double hinge on top of any heavy door-

These hinges are very strong, not sure how tall your doors are but I would suggest placing 3 hinges no need to out 4.

I did. I added 2 shelves. I am sure there's a weight limit, but shoes will never exceed the limit.
