T-hinge, 152x75mm, stainless steel A4

Purpose of Use

The stainless steel door hinge is specifically designed to securely and permanently attach doors. It is ideal for indoor and outdoor use where high load-bearing capacity and rust resistance are required. The purpose is to ensure smooth opening and closing movements while withstanding extreme weather conditions, humidity, or mechanical stress. Compared to conventional hinges made of brass or regular steel, stainless steel offers a lifespan of up to 20 years without maintenance – perfect for households that value quality and sustainability.

How It Works

The functionality of the stainless steel door hinge is based on a classic pin system:

1. Attachment: The hinge consists of two leaves (one for the door, one for the frame), connected by a rotatable pin. These leaves are fixed to the door and frame with screws.
2. Rotation Mechanism: The pin allows a 180-degree rotation, stabilized by integrated knuckles and bearings. Stainless steel ensures minimal friction and prevents deformation under load.
3. Safety Features: Many models have reinforced edges and anti-pinch protection to avoid injuries. The rust resistance comes from the chromium-nickel alloy, which forms a protective layer.

For installation: Measure the door thickness (recommended 35–45 mm), mark the positions (about 15 cm from the top/bottom edge), drill holes, and screw the leaves in place. Test the alignment so the door runs evenly – done in under 30 minutes!

Examples of Use Cases

• Kitchen Use: In humid environments like sink doors, the hinge stands up to splash water and prevents rust formation – ideal for modern kitchens with high usage.
• Exterior Doors: For garage or terrace doors, it resists rain and frost, ensuring the door functions for years without squeaking or jamming.
• Bathroom: Perfect for shower enclosure or cabinet doors where moisture is omnipresent; it provides hygienic, maintenance-free longevity.
• Furniture Making: In the DIY sector for self-built cabinets – an example: A hobby carpenter installs it on a heavy cabinet opened 50 times daily, enjoying years of stability as a result.
