Hinge technology n Rollers Defying the laws of leverage The hinges connect the door leaf to the frame and enable its opening and closing. The German term Band originates from the time when doors had iron bands fitted to them, the ends of which were bent to form an eye. This eye was then hung onto a tang protruding from the door frame, thus giving rise to the English word hinge. Many aphorisms have been dedicated to doors. One of the most powerful comes from a quote by Archimedes: "Give me a firm location outside our earth, and I will lift the world off its hinges". This adage is always used when...

Hinge technology n High-quality hinges Premium ball-bearings The quality of a hinge is determined to a great extent by the quality of the bearing. That is why ECO Schulte developed its own bearings technology especially for its hinge plates (Patent: DE 103 61 548.2). The bearing is characteristic: the roller is guided top and bottom on a steel ball, each mounted in two high-strength plastic trays. This specific bearing is wear, maintenance and play-free and guarantees the light and smooth running of the door. The double bearing controls axial and radial forces effectively and permanently. In...

Hinge technology n Door weight Weights and loads Door hinges are high load-bearing construction elements. They not only have to carry the weight of the door itself, they are subjected to much higher loads, depending on where they are used. Frequent opening, slamming and exceptional handling of doors, as occurs in barracks and schools, can take conventional hinges to their limits if they are only designed to carry the weight of the door. ECO Horizon hinges have a closed hinge roller which is manufactured using elaborate cold forging technology which prevents the roller from bending up. There are...

Hinge Technology n The door notch Technical, construction and aesthetic requirements determine the form of the edge of the door leaf - and consequently the required hinge.

Rebated door The rebated door leaf has a single groove on the lateral and upper edge. The closed door locks into the frame so that no gap is visible. 1b. Rebated door with leaf seal This rebated door has an additional seal in the locking groove....
