Metal Panel Hinge

Product Description

A type of hinge called a metal panel hinge is made specifically for attaching and pivoting metal panels or doors. The panel can swing open or shut because it offers a moveable link between two metal surfaces.

Applications for metal panel hinges include cabinets, enclosures, access panels, gates, and industrial equipment. They enable smooth and controlled movement while offering a dependable and long-lasting solution for attaching metal panels.

To provide strength, stability, and corrosion resistance, these hinges are often made of metal, such as steel, stainless steel, or aluminium. They are frequently built in a barrel shape, with a cylindrical barrel serving as the housing for the pin or rod that connects the two hinge leaves or wings.

The flat metal plates that are attached to the metal panel and the mounting surface are known as the hinge leaves or wings. Usually, fasteners like screws or other devices are used to hold them in place. The panel can pivot by rotating around the pin thanks to the hinge's barrel.

Metal panel hinges are available in a variety of designs to meet varied installation needs. Typical types include:

• The simplest sort of hinge, known as a butt hinge, consists of two hinge leaves joined together by a pin. It enables the panel to move back and forth when it opens and closes.
• Continuous hinges are a lengthy continuous strip that extends the entire length of the panel and are also referred to as piano hinges. They offer constant stability and support along the entire edge.
• Lift-off hinge: This style of hinge enables the panel to be removed or separated by simply lifting it away from the hinge pin. Applications that often remove or replace panels can benefit from using it.
• Strap hinge: Strap hinges have longer, ornamental hinge leaves that enhance stability and give them a unique appearance.

The weight and size of the panel, the desired range of motion, and the environment in which the hinge will be used should all be taken into account when choosing a metal panel hinge. Metal panel hinge installation is made secure and effective by selecting a hinge with the right load-bearing capability, corrosion resistance, and size.
