4. Material and Finish: Made from premium solid brass, this hinge is both durable and corrosion-resistant, ideal for wet environments like showers. It’s available in a variety of finishes, including polished chrome, brushed nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze, so it can match other bathroom fixtures and accents.
5. Minimal and Modern Aesthetic: The hinge’s slim profile complements the frameless glass design, creating a clean, floating appearance with minimal visible hardware. This hinge enhances the modern, minimalist look of frameless showers.

STANDARD REVERSIBLE PIVOT PIN: Each Vienna Hinge contains a Reversible Pivot Pin. One side of the Pin is marked at 90 degree. The opposite side of the Pin is marked 85 degree. Standard Vienna Hinges come with the 90 degree side activated. Pre-Set Models come with the Pin pre-set for 85 degree (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 are available to accommodate “off-angle” installations. As an example, you may encounter a wall that will not meet your door at 90 degree. If the standard 5 degree 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 degree).

This hinge is a popular choice for frameless glass shower installations, offering a combination of durability, ease of installation, and a refined aesthetic that fits well with modern bathroom styles.
