How to Choose the Right Hinge?

Are you familiar with hinges? In Industry production, hinges are one of the most common components. They can be classified into different types based on functionality, fixing methods, installation approaches, and more.

 Different hinges have different characteristics, and choosing the right hinge will greatly improve the safety and reliability of equipment during use. ShangKun offers a full range of high-quality hinges to meet different application needs.

A hinge, also known as a "butt hinge," is a mechanical device used to connect two solid objects, allowing them to rotate relative to each other. Hinges are widely used in various industries, including Industry equipment, cabinets, vehicles, ships, and construction.

When selecting a hinge, you should consider factors such as corrosion resistance, strength, torque, installation method, structure, and materials. In most cases, you can follow the guide below to select the appropriate hinge:
