Guden bent hinge leaf

Most stock hinges have two leaves that lay flat for attaching to another flat surface. But what do you do when you need to mount to two perpendicular surfaces or two surfaces not in the same plane?  Thats when leaf bending comes into play.  Almost any hinge leaf can have one or more bends in it, and the bend doesn't have to just be a 90 degree bend like you see on this slip joint hinge leaf.  Guden has the capability to do just about any bend angle you need to fit your application.  Just submit your drawing or requirements here on our custom product form and we'll get a quotation back to you.
