» » IN RESPONSE TO A HUGE DEMAND,
SFS intec have expanded its Dynamic 2D
hinge range to provide the ideal hinge for
composite doors for the commercial, new
build and residential sectors. Since its
launch a year ago, SFS intec’s new Dynamic
2D-C hinge has been widely accepted by the
market as an innovative and effective design
solution.
During the development of the Dynamic
2D-C, SFS intec worked closely with
Safeware, (part of the Epwin Group), to
ensure the hinge perfectly suited the Epwin
composite door Profile. Paul Hinds, Sales
Manager at Safeware, explains why his
company chose SFS intec’s hinge for their
composite doors. “We have worked closely
with SFS over the last 10 years. We have
been impressed by the company’s design
and production capabilities and technical
support, which we find to be of the highest
standard. Following extensive testing of the
Dynamic 2D-C we knew that this hinge was
of an extremely high quality and performed
exceptionally well with our composite door
profile. We believe that the performance,
aesthetic and installation benefits of the
Dynamic 2D-C has supported growth of
composite doors”.

Rod Johnson, SFS intec’s Technical Sales
Advisor, explains the key features of the
product: “The new Dynamic 2D-C hinge
has all of the same benefits of the original
Dynamic range for PVCu doors. This slimline
hinge has the aesthetics, adjustability, security
and durable performance, meeting PAS024
requirements and with the addition of a fire
resistance assessment. It’s CE certified and
easily complies with current door testing so
it forms part of our accreditations which is a
strong benefit to our commercial customers.
6 standard colours answer the growing
trend for coloured profiles. As with the rest
of the Dynamic 2D range, this new hinge
has a unique patented lateral adjustment of
+/- 3mm, with double pin design that gives
+/- 4mm up and down. Its high load carrying
capacity (40kg) means the door will not drop
or sag. These “fit and forget” features have
helped SFS establish it as the ideal hinge
solution for composite doors”.
Select Windows, an award-winning family-
run business in Walsall, West Midlands, have
also enjoyed success with composite door sales
and were the first Safeware customer to take
on the Dynamic 2D-C. They now use this
hinge on all their composite doors.
Nigel Court, Operations Manager at
Select Windows, comments, “As a company,
we have always championed quality and
performance. We chose this hinge to
enhance the technical performance and
styling of our doors. But it’s also a more
secure fix and the adjustment process is
simple and makes our installers’ lives easier.
Its high performance makes it an ideal hinge
for our commercial and domestic customers
and so we now supply all our composite
doors with Dynamic 2D-C hinges. Our
business is doing well and that’s mostly down
to choosing high-performance compatible
hardware products for integrated systems,
an extensive range in a variety of styles and
finishes and, last but not least, an excellent
customer service.”
Rod Johnson concludes, “SFS are
committed to producing exceptional
products, the Dynamic 2D-C hinge is a
positive development in composite door
hinge design and is a great example of how
good relationships help define and promote
high-quality products in the industry. We’re
very proud of our products and hope to see
composite doors with SFS hinges continue to
grow in popularity”.
