Made from extruded 6261 aluminium (aluminum) alloy with
nylon brushes and mild steel pin. These hinges are designed
for interior partitioning. Smaller hinge barrel provides for
wider hinge leaves allowing greater distance between fixing
holes which suits some extrusions better than normal layout.
In addition thinner hinge leaf allows greater cover on door
closer draft stripping.
Typical Applications
Commercial Interior Partitioning Doors.

Structural Characteristics
Aluminium
extrusion and stainless steel pins have been used for their strength
and corrosive resistance. Nylon bushes insulate the different metals
and provide hard wearing and long lasting bearings. They meet the
requirements of the NZ Building Code B 1 when used in accordance with
the recommendations of Joinery Developments Ltd.
Durability
Meets the requirements of the NZ Building Code for a period
of 10 years when used in accordance with the recommendations
of Joinery Developments Ltd.
Corrosion Resistance
Resists corrosion in normal environmental use. Aluminium parts
are either etched and anodised natural or chromate conversion
coated and powdercoat protected.
Installation Requirements
For exterior application stainless steel screws must be used.
We recommend 10 gauge truncated screws which are available ex
stock. In high load situations the top and bottom hinges should
be placed as far apart as practical. The cavity between the
door frame and hinge style must be kept clear of obstructions
at all times. The hinges require a clearance between the frame
and the panel of 4.5mm. The tapered hinge leaf design eliminates
the need to relieve the hinging edge of the door panel. The
Quick Fix Heavy Duty hinge must be used in conjunction with
top hung door closers.

Maintenance requirements
Occasional cleaning with water is recommended. Avoid the use
of acidic, alkaline or abrasive cleaners. Avoid strong solvent
type cleaners on powdercoated finish. If a solvent cleaner is
required use methylated spirits or mineral turpentine. Ensure
contact is minimal and thoroughly rinsed from the surface. Corrosive
deposits such as salt or contaminates should be washed off regularly
in the case of environmental contamination or immediately following
severe accidental contamination. Cavities between the door frame
and door panel must be kept clear of obstructions. Hinge pins
should be checked for movement occasionally and reported to
the supplier if excessive movement is noticed.
