Hinge Type: We offer 2 main types of hinges to connect your glass door to the wall, free-

swinging or spring loaded and each has their own benefits and flaws depending on what you are

trying to do. The free-swinging hinges only open in one direction, as a result the hinge side seal

can be run the entire length of the glass edge without cutting it (also only requires 2 holes so the

glass will be cheaper). However they have no centering force to keep in the closed position so a

magnetic closure seal is a must. Spring loaded hinges will self centre (to within a few degrees)

and can open 90 degrees inwards / outwards from this point, this means you can use the lower

profile fin seals but they will need to be cut correctly to fit. By their construction they are less

watertight than the free-swinging hinges with the pivot point being inboard of the glass edge,

they also require detailed cut-outs which can increase the glass price.
