- Available with asymmetric torque for simplified operation
- Adjustable torque versions:
- Allow the resistance to be field adjusted using a screwdriver
- Permit one hinge to be used for a variety of applications
This positioning hinge design uses spring tension, to hold the hinged object securely at one or more predetermined angle(s) – fully closed, partially open or fully open.
- Provides additional resistance at pre-determined angles
- Preset in our manufacturing facility, locking into place every time
- Can be customized for specific angle andbreakaway load requirements
- Eliminate gas struts and latch points needed to keep doors shut
- Hold doors opened or closed and move panels securely into position without secondary supports
