Friction or detent hinges
Designed to hold doors or hatches in a specific position, or to regulate the opening/closing force.
- Hinges with adjustable friction allow a rotational movement with braking torque in both directions.
- Hinges with friction brake by means of a retractable handle that allows for rapid torque adjustment even without the use of tools.
- Detent hinges. They have the ability to stop the rotation of the hinge in preset positions and lock the door.

Adjustable hinges
They correct off-sets and misalignments, optimising the opening and closing of the door.
They prevent premature wear of components and extend the life of the construction.

Hinges for narrow jambs
Hinges composed of two bodies of different sizes, designed for structures with narrow jambs and/or narrow doors where the space for mounting the hinges is limited.

Lift-off hinges
Ideal for doors that require frequent disassembly and reassembly. Also available with a mechanical brake system to prevent accidental lifting or sliding of the door and also suitable for mounting on aluminium profiles.

Hinges with electrical safety switch
Hinges with built-in safety switch are safety devices that automatically cut off the power supply in order to protect the operator in cases of accidental opening of machine doors or guards. With IP66 or IP67 protection class, they are ideal for equipment subject to frequent washing in industrial environments.
Compact size, mounting options, and cable outlet/power connector make installation on aluminium profiles easy.

Spring hinges and shock absorbing hinges
- Spring hinges: ideal for the automatic opening and closing of doors, they are equipped with an internal torsion spring that, when the door is opened, is compressed generating a torque opposite to the movement in progress.
Once the door is released, the hinge returns to its initial position. - Hinges with shock absorbers: reduce the closing or opening speed of doors with a vertical or horizontal axis by means of an internal shock absorber. The damping torque varies progressively with the rotation of the hinge.
