48 Pack Noise-Free Matte Black D... vs 18 Pack Nickel Door Hinges Brush...

The lubricate noise is a showstopper for me. These are beefier than the ones the house was built with. They look nice and clean, and they don't flex in any way.

Many including myself buy schlage for their reputation as a quality leader. My hubby is a contractor and is very pleased. Would buy again. Just as advertised.

Horrible hinge. Box was never sealed. Lubricant they used is basically glue.

Use the long screws for middle screw in door and jamb. Looks much better than old hinges. Made in china, but so are the ones in the big box stores.
