A premium door hinge
that delivers unrivalled safety standards for its anti-trap credentials has
undergone a range expansion to support demand across the mental health, health
care and education sectors.
Intastop’s leading
Shrouded Double Swing Hinge now benefits from a shroud which encases the hinge
mechanism reducing the risk of finger entrapment and ligature issues.
“Our new Shrouded
Double Swing Hinge will bring a whole new safety feature to our extensive range
of hinges in our product portfolio and has unswerving reliability and
compliance to fire safety standards,” said Phil Barsby Business Development
Director Intastop Ltd.
“We continue to
develop products to support the needs of facilities managers who place building
user safety at the top of their specification, refurbishment and maintenance
agendas whilst balancing the practicalities of access.”
The hinge has its
gears encased. It is available in a variety of finishes including anodised
aluminium, wood effect. The shroud has zero pinch points making it safe for
fingers and reducing ligature opportunities.
The shroud has been
designed to allow the door a pivot greater than 90° in one direction and
greater than 180° overall in both directions ensuring accessibility with speed
and ease is possible.
Equally important, the
hinge is fire safety tested to 30 minutes delivering excellent safety benefits.
Additionally, the
full-length hinge is extremely easy to install and is suitable for retro-fit
projects. Due to its robustness, doors do not drop during use in high traffic
areas and as they are easy to clean, can play their part in infection control
in the healthcare sector too.
Phil added; “We are
renowned for products that help to protect doors, walls and people and ongoing
product development ensures we support our customers and the challenges that
they face. This innovative hinge not only protects users but also the building
too; a fine example of how Intastop tackles issues experienced across a variety
of sectors and finds practical, efficient solutions.”
