Preventing ‘slam-shut’

Soft-close is a feature much sought after among operators of equipment covers and doors for making usage more comfortable, more user friendly and potentially safer.

FDB Panel Fittings has released the PINET dampening hinges in aluminium which are said to offer a 115° soft-close in three configurations.

These clear anodised hinges are robust and feature two torque damping levels and suit both lightweight and heavier doors in a range of industrial and office/domestic applications. When paired with a matching spring hinge an automatic soft-close action is possible.
