Door hinges is a term that is used far more frequently than the underlying noun hinge.
As the name suggests, door hinges connect a door to a frame or wall and enable the door to swing open and shut.
Hinges are used in many other applications, where their general function is to connect two things and allow them to move in relation to each other.
