Specifying Door Hinges: Balancing Design, Performance and Compliance

Description

This CPD explores the role of hinge specification in the performance, safety and longevity of door assemblies. Taking a design-led approach, it examines how factors such as door size, material, usage, applied hardware and environment influence hinge selection.

The session also provides an overview of fire safety requirements and uses project examples to demonstrate how hinge specification varies across different sectors.

By the end of the presentation, you will have a clear framework of considerations that will support early design decisions and more informed conversations with hinge suppliers.
