Hydraulic glass door hinge
Two hydraulic hinges do most of the work in our range: the GW-M2-NA and the GW-M2-B.
What they do well
- Anti-pinch function: closing speed drops when force is applied
- Three adjustable speed settings
- Closing force adjusts to the door weight
- Working temperature -30°C to 60°C
What to know before you specify one
- The anti-pinch function works by impeding hydraulic flow control
- Lifespan is reduced to around 200,000 cycles
- Load capacity is affected
- Oil leakage is a known failure mode
The GW-3011 and GW-3011A are also available in 90-degree and 180-degree versions.
Floor hinge for glass door
Floor hinges take the door weight in the slab and suit heavier leaves and higher traffic. The range covers the GW-V84 (20NM, 25NM and 30NM), the GW-2400 Premium, the GW-810, the GW-75, the GW-D1-WD, and the non-digging GW-D1-120 and GW-D1-180.
The GW-D1-880 and GW-FH80 sit alongside these, and their figures are in the specification table below.
How to choose the right glass door hinge
Your door weight and size decide how many hinges you need.
Beyond the count, the hinge type depends on the size and thickness of your door, its design, the material it is built from, and whether the hinge should be concealed or visible. Glass doors are commonly framed in aluminium, wood, vinyl or steel, and custom-made hinges are available to match a wooden door.
If you are buying prefabricated door kits, choosing hinges is easier because most manufacturers standardise their sizes. Hinges with larger knuckles give more stability; hinges with small knuckles give a sleeker look because they do not protrude far beyond the surface.
Why install glass door hinges?
Glass door hinges allow an unobstructed view of the interior and offer a level of convenience other doors do not. A glass door is also easy to decorate around, because you can pick any colour or pattern for the glass and still keep a clear view. Good hinges add to the look of the door and to the value of the property.
Glass doors now come in shapes well beyond the rectangle: inverted trapezoid, half oval, crescent moon, arched top, round arch, circle top and square top. There is a hinge for each of them.
Where these hinges go
Our hinges are fitted across the styles of glass door we supply, from a manual swing glass door to the heavy leaves on an automatic sliding door. If a floor hinge on an existing door has started dragging or leaking, we also repair and replace floor springs.
