The new quick release hinges add a layer of security to existing lift-off hinge designs , while still enabling easy door removal . Developed to enhance ease of maintenance , or for when a door needs to be quickly removed , the quick release hinges come in two designs . The E clip design secures the hinge pin to prevent removal , while deinstalling the clip enables the door to be taken off the hinge , making this style useful for less regular maintenance .
For more frequent removal , a detent pin design secures the hinge , while its release enables the hinge and adjoining door to be lifted . This style is also useful to secure lift-off hinges during transit , where laying the door horizontally in a moving vehicle can cause their accidental removal . With 22 sizes of each new hinge type , they ’ re suitable for a wide range of door weights and dimensions . Manufactured in stainless steel , the hinges are heavy duty and corrosion-free .
WDS has also launched an expanded range of cabinet and strap hinges . Traditionally used to secure cabinet doors , these designs allow the door to lay over the frame , useful in applications where the door is larger than the frame . Meanwhile , strap hinges have a similar use and are distinct for their long , thin arm design . WDS ’ new designs are produced in highly polished stainless steel and are intended for heavy duty outdoor use , including the marine and agriculture markets . They ’ re also designed for use in hygienic environments , such as food and beverage preparation , and

can undergo regular chemical washdown without corroding . Various designs of cabinet and strap hinge are available in a range of sizes to suit a wide variety of requirements .
Bullet hinges are also new , so called thanks to their design style , and are installed by welding into place . The narrow , cylindrical hinge is designed to be positioned on the outside of the door , with welding adding security and enabling attachment when space restriction prevents the use of fasteners . Commonly used in industry , bullet or weldable hinges are often installed on machinery . Offered in a wide range of sizes , the hinges are available in steel as well as stainless steel , and there ’ s also a version with a grease port , enabling regular lubrication .
WDS has further expanded its range of continuous hinges , also known as piano hinges . Originally designed for piano lids , these long , continuous hinge designs add stability as well as safety , preventing finger traps in a closing door . Originally stocked in 1.8m lengths for the customer to cut down to size , WDS now provides continuous hinges
in various sizes starting from 1m , meaning they ’ re ready to be installed without modification . These hinges are available in stainless steel as well as zinc-coated steel .
