No tools required to install the 125° clip-in hinge into the door
The new 125° clip-in hinge from EMKA allows easy mounting and removal of surface-mounted doors, ideal for industrial, special vehicle, and rail applications.
Typically, to install a surface-mounted door or flap using conventional hinge systems is inconvenient. The hinge pin can only be inserted if the door frame bracket and door bracket are perfectly aligned. Since there are typically multiple hinges, this procedure needs to be done on each hinge. Disassembly is also laborious.
Depending on the installation situation, the hinge pin must be pulled up or down or driven out in order to separate the door from the door frame. However, there is often not enough space above or below the hinge. EMKA now provides a straightforward solution to this issue with their new 125° clip-in hinge.
Installation and removal as simple as child‘s play
The internal hinge, invisible from the outside, can be mounted on either the left- or right-hand side of the frame. The door section assembly is positioned on the plastic sliding discs of the frame section to attach the surface-mounted door or flap. Subsequently, the door section assembly is simply pushed horizontally in the direction of the hinge pin until the door is in position. A clicking sound confirms the proper installation. This clipping function distinguishes the new hinge from conventional hinges, because the hinge pin is permanently installed in the frame section and therefore does not need to be moved up or down. The guide automatically moves the assembly into the correct position. Applying slight pressure to the door causes the hinges to lock, firmly connecting the door to the frame.
No tools are required for this, nor does the door need to be locked. A secure connection between the door section and the frame is created as soon as the open door is pressed down. The door or flap can be removed again just as easily. To do this, the latch on the door section assembly is pulled to unlock the door section. In this open position, the latch does not need to be held down because it engages in this position. The other hinges can now be opened one after the other in the same way. The door or flap can then be removed quickly and easily. The new 125° clip-in hinge is shock and vibration tested in accordance with DIN EN 61373 Cat. 1B and has been successfully tested in continuous operation.
