Key Features
- 135-Degree Pony Wall Mount Design: The GEN245 hinge connects a frameless glass door to a pony wall at a 135-degree angle, making it ideal for corner shower configurations. This unique design enhances the overall flow and look of the shower enclosure, allowing for a seamless transition between glass and wall.
- Supports Heavy Glass Panels: The GEN245 hinge accommodates glass thicknesses from 5/16″ (8 mm) to 1/2″ (12 mm) and can support up to 80 lbs (36 kg) per pair. Using three hinges with 5/16″ to 1/2″ glass (8 to 12 mm) the hinge will hold up to 120 lbs. (54 kg) with a maximum door width of 32″ (813 mm).This capability makes it suitable for heavy, frameless glass doors, providing stability and security.
- Self-Centering Mechanism: Featuring a self-centering design, this hinge aids the door in returning to the closed position when within approximately 15 degrees of center. This ensures smooth operation and a secure closure, enhancing the user experience.
- Durable Solid Brass Construction: Constructed from high-quality solid brass, this hinge is built to withstand the humid conditions of bathrooms. Its corrosion-resistant properties ensure long-lasting performance and durability, making it a reliable choice for daily use.
- Variety of Finishes Available: The GEN245 hinge comes in multiple finishes, such as polished chrome, brushed nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze, allowing for customization to match various bathroom styles and decor.
- Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward installation on pony walls, this hinge makes it easy for contractors and DIY enthusiasts to achieve a secure fit, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Glass-to-Wall Mounting Design: The hinge provides a secure and clean connection between the glass door and the pony wall, enhancing the frameless design of the shower enclosure and contributing to a modern aesthetic.
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.
