5 Technical information for TEC Soft-close hinges There are numerous variables that will determine the choice of hinge. Determine the requirements of the application. Consider the following points based on the door to cabinet application Door overlay Base plate mounting to face frame: a. Wrap-around thick frames only b. Side mount - frames thicker than 3 4 Door clearance/hinge arm clearance (for interior rollout trays) Door gap - distance between face frame and the back of the closed door 6 7 Minimum reveal - distance between two doors hinged back-to-back Door thickness - thicker doors can restrict opening angle and minimum reveal Hinge cup boring pattern for dowelled hinges Number of hinges per door The number of hinges required depends on the size and weight of the door. The distance between the hinges should be spaced as wide as possible. Use the diagram to determine the number of hinges needed. These recommendations are for doors without any accessory attachments lbs. 11- lbs. -33 lbs lbs. All-steel Construction TEC hinges feature a solid metal hinge cup. All moving mechanism parts, including pivot pins, linkages and springs are hardened to ensure long-term durability.
