| Our Friction Hinges Maintain Durability For YearsKeep Your Doors Open If You Want Them ToEverybody understands the essential necessity of door hinges. They allow a door to perform its stated purpose: to swing open and closed. Without a hinge, a door is simply a large piece of wood standing in your way. But what type of hinge is good for you? Depending on your needs and desires, friction hinges might be the answer you’re looking for. Of course, most people aren’t familiar with hinge technology, so let’s explore exactly what constitutes a friction hinge.
Friction hinges are door opening devices with torque between two parts on a common axis. That might sound complicated, but it basically amounts to an affixed hinge connecting the door to the frame which uses friction to maintain position. With friction hinges, the door won’t just swing wildly open or closed. On the contrary: friction hinges employ friction to keep the door locked into the position in which you leave it. If you require controlled motion, SPEP friction hinges are the answer.
A common problem with friction hinges is wear and tear – eventual breakdown because of the constant friction. Luckily for our customers, Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products employs a team of top quality engineers who design friction hinges that don’t fall apart after a couple of uses. We build our friction hinges to withstand the stresses and pressures of daily use, and we streamline the manufacturing process and use quality materials to ensure that each successive product is as good as the last. Some places have good designs, but the manufacturing suffers. SPEP has excellent build quality and consistent manufacturing, a recipe for consistency of quality.
We also have a robust customer service department that rivals our engineering team in size and dedication. When you buy friction hinges from SPEP, you aren’t purchasing from a faceless corporation.
If you have any issues at all, or any further questions, please contact our customer service department at http://www.spep.com/istore/us/AskUs.html.
