Hinges with adjustable friction setting

This allows users to set the opening force of a door so that it will stay partially open or will dampen down the action of the wind in outdoor applications. "Hinges tend to be simple things but occasionally a product comes along incorporating a really useful and rather different idea", says Elesa's Nigel Pritchett. "This is a simple yet clever extension to the expected features of a normal hinge." The CFU series is manufactured in black technopolymer with a rotation angle of 270º. Friction adjustment is achieved by operation of a centrally-mounted screw - clockwise for more friction; anti-clockwise for less.
