Products

The hinges come in a range of options to suit specific requirements. The brass hinges are fabricated from extruded sections to exact standards and are accurately machined to achieve close tolerances and are fitted with different bearings for demanding applications. Brass offers excellent anti-bacterial qualities and some hinges can carry doors weighing up to 160kg and can be suitable for fire doors. Aluminium hinges are fabricated from extruded sections and fitted with stainless steel or nylon washers for lightweight applications. Adjustable hinges can be adjusted in-situ and alter height, side gaps and compression to achieve the perfect gap. Stainless steel hinges are ideal for harsh environments where corrosion resistance is important. Steel hinges are made by rolling the metal to form the knuckle of the hinge and require a finish to protect the material from corrosion. Nylon hinges are specified for external and internal lightweight doors and windows.

The extensive product range is specified for a wide variety of applications including:

• Interior Doors: Simonswerk door hinges are designed to complement home décor whilst combining functionality and attention to detail. The profiles of the hinges and the range of surface finishes available allows for an almost unlimited selection of design options.
• Entrance Doors: Simonswerk entrance door hinges offer flexibility and easily adapt to different profile geometries. Depending on the version selected, they can be adjusted two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally. The hinges also provide fire and smoke protection and are ideal for emergency escape and rescue routes.
• Windows: Window hinges must provide security and protection and Simonswerk's hinges meet the required security standards. The high quality window hinges adapt to different profile geometries easily, in a flexible manner.
• Metal Door Frames: Many of Simonswerk's hinges are suitable for use with metal door frames.
• Conservatory Doors: As with windows, conservatories must be made to offer security and protection. Simonswerk's hinge ranges are suitable for such applications, with differing levels of specification depending upon the customer requirements.
