- Hardware Side Or Hinge Side: The face of a door which is opposite to that which contacts the frame stops.
- Head Or Header: The horizontal member which forms the top of a frame.
- Hinge: A hardware device generally consisting of two metal plates having loops formed along one edge of each to engage and rotate about a common pivot rod or "pin"; used to suspend and support a swing door in its frame.
- Hinge Backset: On a door, the distance from the stop face, or narrow side to the edge of the hinge cutout. On a frame, the distance from the stop to the edge of the hinge cutout. Casement frame backsets are typically achieved by using a theoretical stop distance (Standard Hollow Metal: 1-15/16"). This dimension will vary across product lines.
- Hinge Edge Or Hinge Stile: The vertical edge or stile of a door to which hinges or pivots are attached.
- Hollow Metal: A term used in reference to such items as doors, frames, partitions, enclosures and other items, which are fabricated from cold formed metal sheet, usually carbon steel. These products are usually internally reinforced but hollow, hence the term "hollow metal." In doors and partitions, the voids are normally filled with insulation. In frames the jambs and heads are either grouted or left hollow.
- Hospital Stop: Door stops on both jambs of a door frame that are cut off and closed at 45¡ã or 90¡ã angle, several inches above the finished floor. Also referred to as Sanitary Base or Terminated Stop.
