Holding doors and flaps closed with a spring hinge
When the door is opened, the spiral spring in the hinge is compressed, generating an opposing force. Once the door is released, the folding hinge with spring returns to its initial position, closing the door. These spring hinges made of robust die cast zinc or glass fibre-reinforced plastic are available in a variety of sizes and torque values. Despite their compact design, hinges with spring-loaded return offer a long service life. Tests have shown that the spring tension remains fully intact even after 100,000 closing cycles.
