CRL Geneva Adjustable 180º Glass-to-Glass Hinge – GEN380 is a high-quality, adjustable hinge designed for frameless glass shower enclosures, allowing for a precise 180-degree connection between two glass panels. Its adjustability ensures easy alignment and optimal fit for inline shower setups. Here’s a closer look at its features:
Key Features
- Adjustable 180-Degree Glass-to-Glass Configuration: The GEN380 hinge allows two glass panels to connect in a straight, 180-degree line, ideal for inline installations. Its adjustable design provides flexibility during installation, ensuring a perfect alignment between the panels.
- Supports Heavy Glass Panels: This hinge is compatible with glass thicknesses ranging from 5/16″ (8 mm) to 1/2″ (12 mm) and supports up to 80 lbs (36 kg) per pair with a maximum door width of 28″ (711 mm). 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), making it suitable for heavier frameless shower doors.
- Self-Centering Mechanism: Equipped with a self-centering feature, the GEN380 assists the door in returning to the closed position when within 15 degrees of center, ensuring easy operation and a consistent, secure closure.
- Premium Solid Brass Construction: Made from solid brass, this hinge is corrosion-resistant and durable, designed to withstand the high humidity of bathroom environments. Its robust construction ensures long-term stability and performance.
- Variety of Finishes: Available in several finishes, including polished chrome, brushed nickel, and matte black, this hinge can complement various bathroom styles and decor for a cohesive look.
- Glass-to-Glass Mounting Design: Designed for glass-to-glass installations, the hinge allows for a seamless, frameless connection between glass panels, enhancing the modern aesthetic of the shower enclosure without requiring additional framing.
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.
The CRL Geneva Adjustable 180º Glass-to-Glass Hinge – GEN380 combines adjustability, durability, and sleek design, making it a great choice for frameless shower enclosures that require a 180-degree connection. Its solid brass construction and adjustable alignment provide both functional support and a contemporary look for high-end bathroom installations.
