Best Answer

The rotational equivalent of force is called torque. It is the product of (force) x (distance to the axis of rotation) x (a function of the angle at which force is applied). You can assume the last factor is equal to 1, if the force is applied at a right angle.

If the distance to the axis of rotation - the hinge - is small, a certain force produces only a small torque.

It is difficult to shut the door from a point near the hinge because the hinge acts as a pivot point, causing the door to swing in an arc. When you try to close the door from near the hinge, your force is applied at a smaller distance from the pivot point, resulting in a larger torque required to overcome the resistance and close the door.

What is the recommended distance between 3 hinges on door?

The top hinge screws want to pull out of the door and frame due to the cantilevered centre of gravity of the door. At the bottom hinge the opposite happens and the screws are not in tension because the lower part of the door tends to "push" towards the frame. It is therefore common practice to fit two upper hinges close to one another near the top of the door and have the bottom hinge by itself near the bottom of the door. (All the above assuming the door is rigid and have some weight that cannot be negligible). A third hinge fitted midpoint between a top and a bottom hinges serves no purpose other than evenly supporting a thin flexible door against wind etc.
