   Any architectural hardware or builder's supply will have 4"x4" ball bearing butts (Either template or non template)

   For wood doors and jambs, non template is recommended
   Stanley, Soss, Hagar, Mckinny etc etc
   Always use three hinges on exterior doors

   Hinges are usually sold in boxes of 1-1/2 pair with either all wood screws or all machine screws (Metal doors)
   All are American made and will last for years and years Special tight pin or non removable pin hinges are offered at additional cost.

   Thanks for the info. What is the difference between template and non-template?

   aaronb, The pattern of the screw holes are different
   Wood screw holes are staggered (So as not to create
   a split along the grain)
   Metal doors have the screws along straight lines. These 'template' hinges are made to fit most standard
   metal doors and frames.
   If your existing door is wood
   and you wish to replace the original hinges,
   buy non- template and you can use the existing screw holes
