CRL Senior Cardiff Wall Mount Offset Back Plate Hinge – SRCAR05L – Key Benefits:
- Optimal Weight Distribution: The Senior Cardiff Hinge carries most of the door’s weight on the bottom mount, reducing stress on the glass and hinges for improved durability. This bottom-heavy weight distribution also allows the hinge to be inset from the wall, offering additional clearance to accommodate towel bars or other nearby fixtures without compromising stability.
- Self-Centering Design with Enhanced Retention Strength: Built with four sturdy springs, the hinge is self-centering, ensuring a smooth, secure close within 15 degrees of the center position. This feature simplifies the user experience and adds to the longevity of the hinge mechanism. For even tighter closing precision, the optional 5-degree Pivot Pin Set can be added to the hinge, providing an additional degree of self-centering functionality.
- Versatile Transom Compatibility: This offset wall mount hinge is perfect for installations with fixed transoms above the door, creating a clean, continuous look for glass shower enclosures. Additionally, when installed vertically, the hinge is suitable for movable transom setups, adding versatility for custom shower designs.
- Quality Construction and Ease of Installation: Manufactured from high-grade materials, including solid brass, the Senior Cardiff Offset Bracket Wall Mount Hinge offers impressive durability. Its construction also helps prevent corrosion and ensures a reliable performance, even in high-moisture environments. Installation is straightforward, with the hinge requiring specific cut-outs in the glass and coming with all necessary gaskets and screws, as well as the precise dimensions for accurate mounting.
