The door hinge is among the world’s most widely used devices. This common piece of hardware may seem simple, at first glance, but in fact, hinges offer a sophisticated range of functionality that design engineers can use to improve the operation of their assemblies.
From fixed-position detent hinges that hold doors open at predetermined angles, to counterbalanced positioning hinges that control the effort needed to position panels or screens, designers across a range of industries can now leverage an array of innovative capabilities that have been engineered into today’s hinges.
