Choosing and Fitting Your Hinge

Select the hinge by its overall size, pattern and mounting arrangement as well as its finish. Check the available space, fixing positions and clearance against the box or case, then test the 90° movement before final fixing. Use fixings suitable for the receiving material. Overall dimensions are not fixing-centre measurements, and adding hinges must not be assumed to increase the stated load limit.

The maximum load is 5 kg. Do not exceed this limit or multiply it by the number of hinges fitted.

No. The base material is steel with a electroplated brass finish. Select this version for its stated material, dimensions and surface finish.

Can I use it to replace a different hinge?

Only select it after comparing the size, pattern, mounting layout and required movement. A matching finish or similar appearance does not confirm compatibility.
