can be provided. You just need to supply a sketch or drawing of what you need

Springs

We will be pleased to help you in
the design of spring hinge applications. We have available
Hinge and Spring
Hinge Design Form that will guide you through the information we need to
provide you with the correct product - or send us your drawing of the part.
If anything is missing, we'll contact you.

Finishes
|
A wide variety of finishes can be provided on our
hinges. We have a number of excellent platers who have experience with hinges.
We will consider any of your finish requirements and will make every effort to
quote your requirements. Please note that we do no plating or finishing in
house.

End Knuckles
|
Hinges, with an
overall length equal to a multiple of full knuckles, are normally supplied with
full end knuckles. If the overall length is not an even knuckle increment, the
hinges may be supplied with equal partial (balanced) end knuckles or a full knuckle on
one end and a partial knuckle on the other. The decision on which is supplied
is usually best determined when we are quoting a part.

|
Other
|
We can install
PEM™ fasteners, weld studs or just about any fastener or device you want to
hinge. Displayed below is a hinge with a tether attached so the pin would not
be lost when the hinge was disassembled for door removal.
