HARDWARE& SECURITY Taking Hinge Design to a Whole New Level »»AS PART OF ITS COMMITMENT TO product specification and innovation, market leading manufacturer, SFS intec, has taken hinge design to a new level with the addition of the Dynamic 2DC. IMPROVED AESTHETICS Designed specifically in response to UK composite door fabricators requests for a high spec hinge with a traditional appearance, the Dynamic 2D-C is based on the already successful Dynamic 2D platform, which was adapted to create a more slim-line body that sits neatly over the air-gap of the door, improving aesthetics without any compromise to the user friendly mechanics or security performance. TECHNICAL ATTRIBUTES As with all hinges within the Dynamic family, the 2D-C offers many technical attributes, which installers have become accustomed to. Benefits include:• Fit and forget - eliminates remedial work on sagging doors • Two dimensional direct adjustment for perfect threshold seal • Easier installation - Door leafs can be removed and refitted with less hassle by a single installer, making operation safer and financially beneficial • Fixed gasket pressure, which means the weather seal always remains exactly as pre-set in the factory, eliminating onsite installation errors • Dog-bolts not required to meet security standards • Constant 4mm adjustment space, no need to adjust top pin in relation to the bottom pin Unique to the Dynamic 2D-C is the patented lateral adjustment system. This enables horizontal adjustment with the minimum amount of space required; thus reducing the amount of material to be milled from the door, increasing overall strength and security. STRONG AESTHETICS In addition to market leading technical attributes, the Dynamic range also offers strong aesthetics with numerous solid colour options and the new superior high performance Endurabrite chrome and gold finishes. All of the finishes are guaranteed to withstand harsh environments whilst still retaining their appearance. The unique, double protection process of Endurabrite has exceeded more than 1000 hours salt spray testing with no signs of corrosion. PEACE OF MIND The new Dynamic 2D-C lives up to the previous success of its older sibling, with an indicative PAS 024 pass of 13.4kN on a standard 44mm composite slab, more than three times the force required to pass the test, therefore offering a big safety margin that will give you peace of mind with the ever increasing standard requirements. HINGE OF CHOICE Mike Roe, Sales Manager at DoorCo, commented, “I was consulted in the development of the first Dynamic 2D hinge, which incorporated all of the features and criteria that I considered essential in a door hinge. The Dynamic 2D-C exhibits all of the same benefits of the original and in my opinion represents a positive development in composite door hinge design. This new product has already been identified by some of our composite door fabricators and installers as their hinge of choice because of its features and benefits.” For further information please contact Customer Services on 0113 2085 500 or your local representative for a copy of our new Dynamic hinge range brochure. 92 » M AY 2016 » CL EARVI E W- UK .
