| Lift-off hinge installs on door without screws or tools  DIRAK introduced a 180º lift-off hinge that incorporates D-Snap Technology. This new hinge consists of two components, the door component and the frame component. The door component of the 180º lift-off hinge simply snaps into place on the door, with no need for mounting hardware. D-Snap Technology speeds up the installation process, because no screws, nuts or tools are needed to install the door part. This saves up to 90% of hardware installation time. A lift-off hinge makes it possible to remove a door from a cabinet or enclosure without disassembling the hinge. Retracting the pin halves enables the door to be removed.The Snap-Line 180º lift-off hinge has a set of spring-loaded wings that are inserted into a channel in the hinge housing. As the wings retract after passing through the cutout, the Snap-Line hinge is held securely in place, even in severe vibration applications. Strength and durability are comparable to that of products that are installed via traditional assembly methods. Since the door part of the hinge does not require mounting hardware - nuts, bolts, screws - the risk of hardware loosening over time and damaging sensitive electronic equipment is reduced. Different sizes of spring-loaded wings make it possible to use the hinge in any sheet metal thickness. The Snap-Line 180º lift-off door hinge is equally suitable for right-hand or left-hand applications, reducing the need to stock different part numbers for different door configurations. Door part, frame part and pin-halves of the Snap-Line 180º lift-off hinge are zinc die-cast with E-coated pin halves for the frame component to aid in corrosion resistance. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
