Recognising the growing demand for a minimal space between the frame and door profile, the new Phoenix Interleaf hinge reduces the typical gap of a traditional heavy duty continuous hinge from the usual 12mm down to a mere 3mm. Ideally suited for both 44mm and 54mm timber and metal doorsets, the aesthetical lines of the Interleaf hinge completely fills the void between the door and frame, reducing the risk of finger trapping considerably. For secure environments where the risk of self harm is a major consideration, the Interleaf hinge is also available with reduced ligature end caps as a specified option. Incorporating the Phoenix high performance maintenance free polymer bearings, the new CE marked Interleaf hinges have been successfully tested to BS EN 1935: Grade 14 (160kg) and is CERTIFIRE approved for use on fire doors.
