Half Surface Aluminium Hinge

The Half Surface Hinge has one hinge leaf applied to the door surface, the other to concealed jamb surface. It is ideal for upgrading and realigning existing door sets (Full Surface options are available on request). Unlike conventional hinges, the Continuous Geared Hinge does not have a pin. It consists of two full height, paired and geared leaves. Each geared leaf rotates evenly from top to bottom riding on Delrin-Teflon bearings retaining the smooth, clean lines of the door and frame, whilst easily supporting heavy vertical loads such as doors.
