Free-swinging hinges in new materials to meet demanding applications

Southco has extended its line of externally mounted free-swinging hinges with three new options designed for heavy-duty applications.

The EH free-swinging hinge is now available in corrosion-resistant aluminium for outdoor use, a lightweight plastic version that provides optimum strength for both indoor and outdoor applications, and a zinc version for indoor use.

The newest additions to Southco’s EH free-swinging hinge series offer new solutions for a broad range of door dimensions and weights. Available in sizes up to 100mm, the EH plastic free-swinging hinge series provides a high-strength, economical solution for multiple interior and exterior application zones.

The EH-8C aluminium free-swinging hinge features corrosion-resistance, with adjustability for large panels where mounting space is limited. Together with the EH-7A Zinc free-swinging hinge, these hinges deliver high strength in a compact package, lowering overall equipment costs and reducing application weight.

“Southco’s new plastic, aluminium and zinc EH free-swinging hinges extend our trusted line of surface mount hinges to address the requirements of heavy-duty applications,” says global product manager Stewart Beck. “The plastic hinge is compact and powerful, the aluminium hinge provides corrosion resistance and the zinc hinge features adjustable mounting, offering solutions for demanding industries including HVAC, industrial equipment and transportation.”
