Concealed Hinges with Retracting Pins

Our Concealed Hinges with Retracting Pins are fully concealed when doors and cabinets are closed; they are ideal for industrial applications such as HVAC machinery, enclosures and vehicles.

They have a toolless mechanism which allows for the complete removal of doors via retracting pins, which allows for them to be easily accessed and maintained. As well as being applicable to a range of settings, these hinges have an aesthetic finish when installed because they are hidden from the view of the user.

How do I retract the pins?

In order to retract the pins

These Concealed Hinges with Retracting Pins are available in Zinc Alloy and Aluminium 6061 variants:

Zinc Alloy - 90° opening angle
Aluminium 6061 - 90° opening angle

Please note that Brackets for these Hinge variants are sold separately and are available to purchase here

How do I work out how much weight each Hinge can bear?

Each of our Concealed Hinges have varying Axial and Radial Loads; the Axial Load is the force that can be applied to the axis (vertically) and the Radial Load is the force that can be applied to the axis (perpendicular).

In order to work out how much weight each hinge can withstand when hanging a door vertically, Divide the the Axial Load (in Newtons) by 9.81 and convert the number to Kg.

For example, a Hinge has an Axial Load of 750N, therefore the equation would be 750N ÷ 9.81 = 76.45 Kg per Hinge. This would mean that two of these Hinges would be able to withstand a door with a weight of 152.9 Kg.

If you're hanging a door perpendicularly (e.g. a loft hatch or trunk freezer), you would use the same equation but replace Axial Load with Radial Load to work out the weight in which each Hinge can withstand.

Installation Note

Depending on the style of Hinge, mounting to the enclosure frame is possible either via welding, metric bolts or rivets which you can find here
