BUTT

a door “hinge”, one leaf being mortised or routed into the door frame jamb and the other into the edge of the door; incorrectly called a “butt hinge” as the term “hinge” is usually applied to one which is attached to the surface of a door rather than to its edge such as a strap or T-hinge; “butt” consists of the round central part (knuckle), flat portions (leaves or flaps), and the “pin” which is inserted into the “knuckle”; “pin” can be loose pin butt (removable) or “fast” (non-removable).
