What are door concealed hinges?
First of all, it is better to introduce what is a door concealed hinge. It is a type of hinge that is specifically installed inside the door and is not visible from the outside of the box. This is the reason why these hinges are called door concealed hinges. There are various configurations of concealed door hinges, and IHINGES can also customize different configurations of concealed hinges for our customers.
Why are these hinges used in electrical cabinets?
Door concealed hinge is mainly used in electric cabinets and equipment of sheet metal box structures. It is mainly installed on the inside of the door. These products are installed outdoors and indoors. Electric cabinets installed outdoors have waterproof requirements, so for the overall sealing performance, such door concealed hinges are often used instead of butt hinges.
Indoor use of electric cabinets may not have such high requirements, after all, do not need to consider the harsh environment of the wind and rain. So ordinary hinges with exposed installation can be used. But because of the mass production of electric cabinets, it is not convenient to distinguish between indoor and outdoor use. So it is simply unified to adopt a higher standard of production. That’s why most of the products of electric cabinets use door concealed hinges.
What are the features of door concealed hinges?
Door concealed hinges have period outstanding features. The biggest feature is the concealed installation, which enhances the aesthetics of the box. In addition, in terms of functionality, it can provide a better sealing environment for the box door. When the hinge is installed inside the door, it can make a better overall seal for the box door.
In addition, door concealed hinges can be designed to be disassembled, or what we call disassembled hinges. Because this type of hinge is installed inside the door, the space is relatively small. This is where the inconvenience of hinge installation comes into play. That’s why they are often designed to be removable for better installation.
To install the hinges, two hinge blocks are installed on the door frame and the door respectively, and finally, the door is connected to the frame by hinge pins. This way it is not limited by the small space. However, these hinges are not as load-bearing as gate heavy-duty hinges.
