- Solid Brass Construction: Constructed from high-quality solid brass, the GEN045 is durable and resistant to corrosion, even in high-moisture environments. This ensures long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance, maintaining both strength and aesthetic appeal over time.

Standard Reversible Pivot Pin: Each Geneva Hinge contains a Reversible Pivot Pin. One side of the Pin is marked 90 Degrees. The opposite side is marked 85 Degrees. Standard Geneva Hinges come with the 90 Degrees side activated. Offset Models come with the Pin pre-set to 85 Degrees (5 degree tighter closure into shower interior). The Pin can be rotated (not flipped upside down) to activate the other side.
Custom Pivot Pin: Custom Pivot Pins (Cat. No. GENP1N) are available to accommodate “off-angle” installations. If the 5 Degree Reversible Pivot Pin contained in the hinge does not assist in closing the door to the position desired, you may specify the angle needed for a Custom Pivot Pin (up to 45 degrees). If using the Custom Pivot Pin, contact our Technical Sales Shower Door Department. Your glass sizes and the aesthetics of the enclosure may be affected by the use of the Custom Pivot Pin.
