The em­ploy­ees of a com­pany are the source of suc­cess. They de­ter­mine how well a com­pany re­ally op­er­ates. That's why we give our em­ploy­ees the nec­es­sary lee­way for cre­atively ad­dress­ing cus­tomer wishes and mar­ket re­quire­ments. After all, per­sonal sat­is­fac­tion and the op­por­tu­nity to iden­tify one­self with tasks and goals make the dif­fer­ence that makes a prod­uct re­ally bet­ter than oth­ers.

A well thought-out strat­egy for as­sur­ing qual­ity is nec­es­sary to en­sure that out­stand­ing ideas are trans­lated into win­ning prod­ucts. While strat­egy starts out with de­vel­op­ment and serves as a basis for pro­cure­ment and pro­duc­tion, it does not end with the sale of prod­ucts. Thus, it stands to rea­son that we use high-qual­ity ma­te­ri­als and test ac­cord­ing to the most strin­gent in­ter­na­tional stan­dards (RAL, SKG, Ü label, CE mark) and that we are cer­ti­fied in ac­cor­dance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 and DIN EN ISO 14001.

Decades of ex­pe­ri­ence, close­ness to the mar­ket and con­stant di­a­logue with cus­tomers en­able us to iden­tify trends and de­vel­op­ments in con­struct­ing doors early on and to re­spond quickly to new re­quire­ments. By reg­u­larly in­vest­ing in cut­ting edge pro­duc­tion tech­nol­ogy, we are ca­pa­ble of man­u­fac­tur­ing cus­tom-tai­lored so­lu­tions as well. Since most of our prod­ucts are man­u­fac­tured in­house, we are able to offer prices that are con­sis­tent with the mar­ket, even with smaller pro­duc­tion lots.

Every day we face new chal­lenges, and we are con­stantly look­ing for new so­lu­tions and im­prove­ments. Nowa­days, al­most every in­stal­la­tion sit­u­a­tion in­volv­ing metal and PVC doors can be solved using a Dr. Hahn hinge. On top of that, we con­sciously focus on sim­pli­fy­ing han­dling, i.e. in­stal­la­tion and ad­just­ment, to save fit­ters valu­able time and re­sources and to en­sure a smooth process through to final in­stal­la­tion of the door.

With the rapid pace of life today and com­mu­ni­ca­tion chan­nels chang­ing and be­com­ing shorter, it is nec­es­sary to react quickly and pro­vide the best pos­si­ble sup­port. Dr. Hahn has put to­gether for its cus­tomers a ser­vice pack­age that is hard to match. Com­pe­tent tech­ni­cal ad­vis­ers re­solve the tech­ni­cal sit­u­a­tion and re­quire­ments at the out­set. All our prod­ucts come with high-qual­ity doc­u­men­ta­tion so that it is al­ways read­ily avail­able where it is re­ally needed. More­over, doc­u­men­ta­tion can be down­loaded on de­mand from the In­ter­net.

Con­tem­po­rary ar­chi­tec­ture and mod­ern de­sign call for a keen sense of forms, colour, fin­ishes and func­tion­al­ity. Only after achiev­ing per­fect har­mony with re­spect to the in­di­vid­ual el­e­ments does an en­tire ob­ject be­come a vi­sual mas­ter­piece. Whether the task in­volves mak­ing a state­ment or de­sign­ing a con­ser­v­a­tive el­e­ment by con­cen­trat­ing on what's es­sen­tial, Dr. Hahn ful­fils the wish for some­thing spe­cial. That is why the Hahn VL-hinge was awarded the renowned in­dus­trial de­sign prize "red dot".

Al­though we have achieved a lot, we still do not allow our­selves to rest. We think ahead and con­stantly search for in­no­v­a­tive so­lu­tions which will def­i­nitely meet the de­mands placed on build­ing fit­tings today and to­mor­row. Our suc­cess is proof that this strat­egy is right. But this suc­cess also comes with oblig­a­tions, for in­stance to pro­tect es­pe­cially the en­vi­ron­ment. Be­sides high pro­duc­tiv­ity, the most im­por­tant cri­te­rion for new in­vest­ment de­ci­sions is en­vi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion.

Hahn hinges are sub­jected to the most di­verse strains on a daily basis. Over the years, we have gath­ered a lot of ex­pe­ri­ence and recog­ni­tion due to the fact that our hinges are used in many lo­ca­tions through­out the world, as can be seen in our list of ref­er­ences. Hahn hinges can fre­quently be found in com­mer­cial build­ings and of­fice premises as well as in pri­vate homes, al­ways open­ing doors ...​with hah­n­func­tion.

Dr. Walter Hahn founded our company in 1961. We were initially concerned with the moulding of thermoplastic parts.

We originally produced PVC articles such as canopies and door fittings, followed by tube door closers. For presenting these products at a fair we required door hinges that then proved highly popular with the public. The positive feedback was mainly responsible for the production of door hinges since that time.

Aluminium profiles became increasingly popular as time progressed, and PVC profiles a short time later. The first Hahn hinge for PVC doors was launched in the market in 1984.

The demand for improved quality and design increased over the years. The first butt hinges and clamp hinges in 2001 set initial trends in hinge design. Today, butt hinges give doors a more sophisticated appearance throughout the world.

With the VL-Band ST and VL-Band AL concealed hinges we set a further milestone in terms of hinge design. Several international competitions have distinguished us for the design of Hahn concealed hinges.

We have filed patents for hundreds of inventions over the years. Among them are various hinge fastening solutions. We launched the step screw in 2001, followed by the screw anchor in 2005.

Since the year 2007, the anchor screw has made the fastening of our hinges easier, at first for Türband 4, then later also for the Series 60 AT and Türband 4 AT. The door builder now saves around half of the usually required working time with the Hahn anchor screw.

Turning old into new – the Türband 3 has been replaced by the new Türband 4. In addition to the hinge’s universal use, the improved follow-up model can also be fastened using the newly developed anchor screw, thus offering maximum comfort.

In 2009 the next step into the future was taken because space at Mönchengladbach was no longer sufficient. Just eight months of construction time was needed to create a modern production, storage and management building in Erkelenz on a plot of land of 53,000 m2. The architect designed the management building as an oversized door hinge, making it the largest door hinge in the world.

In 2010 the first concealed door hinge for PVC doors was launched in the market in the form of the VL-Band KT. The year saw a further innovation with the KT-FIX fastening solution. FIX in this regard indicates especially quick fastening and particularly firm attachment.

Dr. Hahn’s popular universal Series 60 AT hinge shines in new splendour. The modern design and improved technology are immediately evident. The new hinge series has been designed such that all mounting variations offered in our range can be implemented. Be it traditional installation with base plate fastening, modified with the screw anchor or with the completely new Hahn anchor screw. The Series 60 AT New offers a fitting solution for every door frame.

We developed a bearing bolt with anti-saw protection for our KT screw-on hinges to ensure increased protection against break-ins. This makes it impossible to saw through bearing bolts with a hacksaw.

Türband 4 AT is the flagship product in our door hinge range. We have now improved some important features in the hinge. In addition, details were incorporated into the design to make handling even more efficient in the workshop and on the building site. Another new feature in the series is the half measure zero, where the frame hinge blade has been reduced to the minimum space required. This new variation is used especially in situations, where there is only a small amount of space on the frame side.

Door hinges should still be able to work on angular fronts, recessed profile sections or high upstands. The Hahn KT-B 6R can also be used on a wide variety of profile sections. With this elegant door hinge, we are now able to handle almost any installation situation on a block profile section.

For use on high-quality aluminium doors. With the new Rollenband AT, we now offer a hinge system that can be adapted to all major door frame systems. Its barrel with a diameter of 20 mm meets the high design standards that building owners and architects have for making sure that hinges on their residential and commercial doors are as unobtrusive as possible.

Very delicate look – that is our motto here! The two series, the Hahn KT-RKN and Hahn KT-RKV, are each available in 2- and 3-piece versions. With a hinge diameter of only 18 mm, you can still support standard door weights with PVC profile sections. A new addition to the line is the silver anodised colouration (EV1).

Slim, stable and three-dimensionally adjustable. Dr. Hahn has introduced 2- and 3-piece door hinges for common PVC profile systems under the names Hahn KT-RV and Hahn KT-RN. In particular, the design with a slim hinge curl having a diameter of 22 mm looks both robust and elegant at the same time. This impression is additionally supported by the extended colour range in silver anodisation (EV1).

The technical advantages of the Hahn VL-Band AT include faster processing, greater convenience on the building site and easy adjustability. The new, concealed hinge design for doors made of flush-mounted aluminium profiles is completely concealed inside the profiles and meets the high design standards of building owners and architects.
