Swing door hinges 

How does a swing door hinge work?

A swing door hinge is a special type of hinge that allows a door to swing in both directions - inwards and outwards - and then automatically return to the closed starting position. This mode of operation makes it ideal for use in areas where quick and easy passage must be ensured, such as kitchens, restaurants or hospitals.

The swing door hinge usually consists of two main components: the actual hinges, which are attached to the door and the door frame, and a mechanism (often a spring mechanism) that returns the door to the closed position after opening. The spring force can be adjusted on many models to vary the closing speed and the force required to open the door.

What are the advantages of a swing door hinge?

• Double-sided opening: Swing doors can be opened from both sides, which facilitates through traffic in busy areas.
• Automatic closing: The integrated spring mechanism closes the door automatically, which helps to save energy (e.g. by minimizing heat loss) and increases privacy and security.
• Easy operation: Swing doors can be opened hands-free by simply pushing them with the body. This is particularly advantageous in environments where hygiene plays a major role, such as kitchens or medical facilities.
• Space-saving: In contrast to conventional doors, which have to keep a certain area free for the swing radius, swing doors require less space as they can be opened to both sides.
• Robust and durable: Swing door hinges are designed for intensive use and offer high durability and reliability, even in areas with high through traffic.
• Versatile: They are suitable for both commercial and residential applications and can be used in a variety of door designs and materials.
