Washington Two-Stage Force Mechanism
This hinge operates with two distinct levels of resistance. In the first stage, when the door or panel is opened to a certain angle (typically 30° to 45°), it offers light resistance, allowing easy manual adjustment. The second stage, beyond this angle, provides increased resistance to prevent sudden or uncontrolled movement, ensuring the door stays securely in position when fully opened. This design balances flexibility and stability, adapting to various user needs.
Rebound Function
Equipped with a rebound feature, the hinge enables the door to automatically return to a partially closed position (usually 10° to 20° from fully closed) after being opened and released. This prevents the door from remaining wide open unintentionally, saving space and reducing the risk of collisions. The rebound force is carefully calibrated to be gentle yet effective, avoiding abrupt movements that could cause damage.
Hydraulic Damping System
A built-in hydraulic mechanism ensures that all movements—whether opening, closing, or rebounding—are smooth and silent. This damping system absorbs impact energy, eliminating slamming and reducing noise, which is particularly beneficial in quiet environments such as bedrooms, offices, or libraries. It also protects the door, frame, and hinge from wear and tear, extending the overall lifespan of the furniture.
Durable Construction
Crafted from high-quality materials like stainless steel or zinc alloy, the hinge is designed to withstand frequent use and resist corrosion. Its precision-machined components ensure consistent performance over time, even with daily operation. The hinge is compatible with various door materials, including wood, MDF, and laminate, and suits different thicknesses (typically 16mm to 25mm).
Applications:
Ideal for furniture where controlled movement and automatic rebound are desired, such as:
Kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities
Wardrobes and closet doors
Office storage units and filing cabinets
Drawers and utility cabinets
