Types of Hirline Hinges We Offer

Buy Fast Fix Hirline Hinges online

Fast fix hirline hinges feature pre-drilled holes and are designed for quick, straightforward installation. They are a convenient choice for builders and installers working on large projects where time efficiency is essential.

Use cases:

• Residential internal doors

• Commercial fitouts requiring rapid installation

• Lightweight to medium-duty doors

Buy Interfold Hirline Hinges online

Interfold hirline hinges are designed with interlocking leaves that provide additional strength and stability. This design distributes the door weight more evenly, reducing stress on the screws and extending service life.

Use cases:

• Office and institutional doors

• Applications requiring durable, long-term performance

Buy Kink Hirline Hinges online

Kink hirline hinges are offset to provide greater clearance between the door and frame. This makes them ideal for situations where doors must open past trim or architraves, or where accessibility requirements demand wider openings.

Use cases:

• Doors with decorative trim or thick architraves

• Accessibility-compliant installations

• Commercial and public buildings

Key Features and Specifications

• Materials: Stainless steel, aluminium, or brass
