UAP ADDS UNIVERSAL DOOR HINGE TO PORTFOLIO

Manufactured in-house by Security Hardware , which was acquired by UAP last year , the Universal Flip Axis hinge has a patented lift on and off design . This means it can be easily fitted to right or left doors without swapping the pin . Compression , height and lateral adjustment can be achieved with door closed , preventing any unsightly gaps . Available in rebate sizes ranging from 17mm to 25mm , the hinge has a contemporary appearance and comes in seven different colours , including white , chrome , black , gold , brown , oak and anthracite grey .
Gareth Davies , Area Sales Manager for UAP , said : “ The Universal Flip Axis hinge has already been tested by several fabricators . Following its success and the positive feedback we ’ ve received , we ’ ve built up our stock levels and are now formally launching the product to the wider market . “ We believe the hinge ’ s unique design is one of the most advanced available . A universal jig enables door manufacturers to install the product very quickly making it ideal for high volume assembly where speed is essential . To further ease fabrication , all the components are preassembled in a box .
“ With a wide range of sizes and colours available , the hinge can also meet any design requirement .”
As with all products manufactured by UAP companies , the Universal Flip Axis Hinge has undergone rigorous testing to ensure quality and performance . It meets the BS EN 1670 Grade 4 , and BS EN 1191 standards , and is also PAS 24:2016 compatible as part of a door assembly .
