Floor hinges plays an important role in toughened glass work with the purpose of making bridges that create the pivot moving of the door. Installing floor hinges will allow the toughened glass to rotate at a wide angle. Choosing the right floor hinges will be a good condition to determine the safety and durability of toughened glass doors.  Understanding that, VICKINI floor hinges are manufactured according to technical standards and quality tested before being launched on the market to ensure product performance.

  • Casting the floor springs body: Casting is one of the most used machining methods in manufacturing hinges. In this process, metal is first melted and then forced through a mold that allows it to solidify into the desired shape. 
  • Manufacture of detail parts: includes loose box, cover plate, spindle, bulge axle, pressure bearing, piston are produced by cutting and deformation processes by CNC cutting machine to ensure the high precision. In particular, hydraulic springs are produced by heat-treat and compression process to fix the length and coil spacing of the springs.  
  • Finishing treatments: Hinge manufacturers might also apply a finish to a hinge in the form of burnishing, painting, polishing or smoothing, so they can improve the hinge’s decorative appeal. Depending on the requirements of the hinge’s application, it is also common for manufacturers to predrill or punch holes with precision, so the hinge fits exactly as it is intended.
  • Assembly process: This process will be done automatically by industrial assembly robots that are programmed and controlled via a computer system to ensure high technical accuracy. 
  • Testing of hinges: VICKINI floor hinges are strictly quality tested before being launched to the market: Durability and opening and closing time tests, check the eccentricity and other technical specifications of the hinge… to ensure that the hinges align properly when they are subjected to the weight they are expected to accommodate. 

The VICKINI floor hinges Endurance Testing of 500,000 opening and closing times and salt testing of 360 hours by the SGS International Inspection Center. Visit our website https://vickini.com/en/floor-hinges.html for more information about VICKINI’s floor hinges.
