As the title says.. any suggestions for door hinges? I looked up the 15665A393 recommended in the guide, but it's up to $100 a piece before shipping and handling.

Sorry if this is late, but this forum seems a bit dead and I was checking to see if there were responses to a thread I posted.

We generally get our hinges from either home Depot, or Habitat Restore (used/ donated).

I can't tell you exactly what hinges we used for our shed, but I can tell you we definitely didn't spend 100 per. Probably more like $3 if we got them from habitat, or $10 new (just guessing based on other projects, it's been awhile.). I think we just used three heavy duty hinges (high,middle,low) and called it a day. Sorry I can't be more specific right now .. if you'd like I can take a picture later today?

Full piano hinges are the best if you can find them and afford them. They have probably gone up in price like everything else.
But galvanized gate hinges are always an option. They will just require more maintenance in the future. Use carriage bolts instead of screws will help keep them in place and delay sagging.
