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 does a spring hinge differ from a gravity hinge?

A spring hinge uses an internal spring to move the door to its open or closed position. Because the spring tension can be adjusted on site, it gives more consistent action than a gravity hinge, particularly on heavier or slightly misaligned doors.

Should I choose Screw Fix or Bolt Through?

Screw Fix mounts the hinge to the partition board with screws and suits most installations. Bolt Through uses fixings that pass through the board, giving a stronger, more tamper-resistant fixing for high-traffic or vandal-prone washrooms.
