Concealed hinge enables door to be removed easily for access
Dirak is expanding its range of hinges to include the 4-393 Concealed Hinge Pr02 120degree, which is described as simple and cost-effective for applications with a nested door/frame configuration.
Benefits of the 4-393 Concealed Hinge Pr02 120degree include:
Quick Installation: The 4-393 Concealed Hinge Pr02 120degree does not require installation hardware for mounting. A simple clip-in process requires only one hole cut-out in the door and one hole cut-out in the frame through which the hinge slides for a secure fit.
Door Removal: Cabinet doors can be easily removed by pulling on one of the internal, spring-loaded, retractable pins. The door is then lifted off the frame for access into the cabinet. Since there is no need for mounting hardware there is no concern for loose or missing hardware when the door is unhinged. To re-attach the door, simply pull on the retractable pin, place the second hinge pin in the hole cut-out in the frame, slide the door in place and release the pin. The door is then properly mounted.
Space Saving Design: The hinge is compact and, therefore, suitable for applications where space is limited.
Reduced Inventory: The same 4-393 Concealed HingePr02 120degree can be used on both left- and right-hand door applications. This results in lower inventory, reduced production complexity, and less chance of installation errors.
Concealed Design: When the door is closed, the hinge is completely concealed within the interior of the cabinet application, providing a clean external appearance. The 120-degree opening angle allows for easy access to the interior of the application.
