What types of glass and display case hinges are there?
There are various types of glass and display case hinges, which are usually selected according to different criteria, such as the type of display case, the mounting method, and the design. We present some of the most common types:
- Side hinges: These are mostly used for floor-standing or wall-mounted display cases. They are stable and well suited for large, heavy glass doors.
- Top and bottom hinges: This type of hinge is often used for smaller, lighter glass doors and offers a minimalist look. They can be adjusted so that the door is gently slowed when closing to avoid damage to the glass.
- Pivot hinges: Pivot hinges are often attached at both ends of a glass door and provide a smooth, swinging motion. They are ideal for modern glass furniture designs.
- European or concealed hinges: These hinges are designed to be completely hidden when the door is closed. They are ideal for display cases where the appearance of the hardware should be minimized.
You should make your choice not only based on price, but also on the fit and functionality of your specific display case.
