Solving the prominent door hinging dilemma

“How do I hinge my prominent cabinet door robustly and aesthetically?” is a question often faced by specialist enclosure/cabinet builders.

Usually asked along with the caveat that it must be quick to fit and at reasonable cost.



Well, EMKA has a solution in its modular range of prominent door hinges to suit standard 20mm or 25mm returns, and even down to 6mm.

Ten programmess of hinge design cover requirements from concealed-with-removable hinge pin through simple lift-off butt hinges.

Captive pins simplify door removal without the potential concern of losing the pin – while others make the installation process really quick by utilising the pivot pin as a concealed retaining device.

Prominent door hinges in this range are available in steel, zinc die, reinforced polyamide and in stainless steel which offer door openings of 115° to 180° with nested doors.

Where colour matching is required, then weld-on hinges offer a low-cost and very robust solution.
