Frequently asked questions

Are these hinges sold individually?

Yes, the price is for one hinge. Metlam recommends three hinges per cubicle door to stop the door bowing, so order three per door unless your partition supplier specifies otherwise.

What is the difference between Hold Open and Hold Closed?

Hold Open hinges move the door towards the open position when the cubicle is vacant, so users can see it is free. Hold Closed hinges move the door towards the closed position for a neater look when the cubicle is not in use. Choose one function and use it on every hinge on the door.

How do I work out Left Hand or Right Hand?

Stand in front of the door and look for the hinges. If they are visible on the right-hand side, you need Right Hand hinges; if they are on the left-hand side, you need Left Hand hinges. If you are unsure, send us a photo and we will confirm before dispatch.

Do I need anything extra for Bolt Through?

Metlam specifies its 106C concealed fix faceplate for bolt through installation of this hinge. Contact us and we will make sure the right faceplate is supplied with your order.

How does a gravity hinge work?

A gravity hinge uses a rising cam rather than a spring, so it has no mechanical parts to wear or adjust. Its hold open or hold closed action depends on the door weight and how well the door is aligned, so performance can vary between installations.

What does the Antimicrobial finish do?

The Antimicrobial coating is designed to reduce the growth of bacteria on high-touch hardware, making it a popular choice for hospitals, aged care, childcare and other hygiene-sensitive sites. It is available with screw fixings only.
