Hinges for 2340x1200 entrance door

[Reno RSS Feed]

Hi, I'm installing a 2340x1200 entrance door with hinges.

I can't justify the cost of a pivot door system.

Now, what hinges do you recommend?

I had a quick look on ebay and it seems 100 X 75 X 2.5mm was the way to go.

I plan on putting 4 hinges on the door.

I saw these on ebay:

Door Hinges Stainless Steel 100mm x 75mm x 3mm | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Door-Hinges-Stainless-Steel-100mm-x-75mm-x-3mm-/230831907412?pt=AU_Building_Materials&hash=item35bea76254)

The other ones I was looking at, but non-bearing ones are:

New Door Hinge Vinco SS Butt 100x75x1.6mm Fixed Pin SSH1003L-F | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Door-Hinge-Vinco-SS-Butt-100x75x1-6mm-Fixed-Pin-SSH1003L-F-/251064648815?pt=AU_Building_Materials&hash=item3a749e846f)

Door Hinges - Architect Brand - Polished Stainless Steel | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Door-Hinges-Architect-Brand-Polished-Stainless-Steel-/180954082345?pt=AU_Building_Materials&hash=item2a21b42c29)

Any reasons why I should avoid the ebay ones?

What is the bearing used for? to make the door easier to open?

Also what screws should I use?

Thank you for your advice.
