Default Door hinges

I am currently making some tube doors and want some stock looking hinges. What do people use for their hinges?

A regular 7/16" bolt that's about 4" long but only 1" of thread makes a good pin! Hope that helps you a bit

Thanks for the reply, I was hoping to find some pre made ones cheep. I will make some if I have to but I'd rather have some factory looking hinges.

I started playing with some metal at work today but couldn't really figure out all the measurements. Would you mind sending me some specs when you get them finished?
