CRL Geneva Wall Mount Offset Back Plate Hinge – GEN544 – Key FeaturesÂ
- Compatible with Heavier Glass Panels: The hinge is suitable for glass thicknesses ranging 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 capacity makes it ideal for heavier frameless glass shower doors, providing added stability and safety.
- Self-Centering Mechanism with Reversible 5 Degree Pivot Pin: The self-centering feature helps the door return to a closed position when within 15 degrees of center. The reversible 5-degree pivot pin further enhances installation flexibility, allowing for slight adjustments to align the door perfectly in the frame.
- Premium Solid Brass Construction: Made from solid brass, the GEN544 hinge is highly durable and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for use in humid environments like bathrooms. This construction ensures that the hinge retains its functionality and finish over time, requiring minimal upkeep.
- Variety of Finishes: Available in several finishes, such as polished chrome, brushed nickel, and matte black, the GEN544 can be tailored to match various bathroom styles and decor, ensuring a cohesive and stylish look.
- Wall-to-Glass Installation: This hinge is designed for wall-to-glass installations, providing a secure and seamless mounting option for a range of frameless shower configurations.
Standard Reversible Pivot Pin:Â 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:Â 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.
Custom finishes are available upon request. CRL Shower Door Hinges are intended for residential or hotel shower use. Approval from the CRL Technical Sales Department is required for other applications.
