mounting plates
Series 200 hinges can be used with BA series mounting plates to give a superior quality snap on hinge system in all opening angles. BAR hinge plates have the additional feature of single screw cam adjustment in all planes.
Series 200 hinges can also be used with B2 series mounting plates giving a more economical slide on hinge function using the simpler hinge plate.
Series 900 hinges are used only with B2 series mounting plates and offer a fully adjustable low cost range of cabinet hinges.
Airmatic hinge is designed for use with a straight snap-on base plate G3/AZ |

installation
Many carcase thicknesses and door widths are used in furniture manufacture. It is important therefore to achieve the correct distance by which the door overlaps the carcase side panel, so that the door can turn without fouling. This is determined by the mounting plate height, drilling position 'K', door clearance gap and overlay. |

which type of hinge?
For a carcase made from 15/16mm board the use of a 5mm cranked hinge with 0mm mounting plate is recommended and for a carcase made from 18/19mm board a straight arm hinge with 3mm mounting plate.
Alternatively on 15/16mm board a straight arm hinge can be used with a 6mm mounting plate. |
