Plastic Friction Hinges



Plastic hinges are a lightweight alternative to metal hinges and provide smooth, silent operation. Constant resistance through the full range of motion holds lids, panels, and doors at any angle. All of these hinges have a nonremoveable pin to deter tampering.
Acetal hinges are more moisture resistant than nylon.

Adjustable-Friction Hinges



Tighten or loosen an adjustment screw to change the hinge resistance. Constant resistance through the full range of motion holds lids, panels, and doors at any angle. These hinges discourage tampering, since they can’t be taken apart without damaging the hinge. Capacity is based on one hinge per door.
Plastic hinges are a lightweight alternative to metal hinges.

Soft-Close Friction Lid Hinges




Eliminate slamming lids—these hinges hold lids open at their widest angle and then slowly pull them closed. All have a nonremoveable pin to deter tampering.
Hinges sold as a pair include two hinges for one lid.
Style 3 has hinge leaves that fit into two cutouts (mortises) to mount flush with door and frame edges.
Acetal hinges have better chemical resistance than polybutylene.
