Development and Chronicle of Door Hinges
The origins of the hinge extend deep into ancient times, to the extent that its precise beginnings are unclear to archaeologists. Although numerous metal hinges survive from eras as old as 5500 years, later civilizations also show indications of using wood and stone for their manufacture. This suggests that some of these early Mesopotamian societies might have crafted them even before the Bronze Age. These primordial mechanisms have been honed, developed, and integrated into various facets of daily life.
