The perfect hinge for every situation

The award-winning features of the new <link>Series 60 AT: more modern design, increased security against break-ins and an extensive selection of fastening materials. The first Hahn door hinge that is designed for metal profile sections and which can utilise a broad range of mounting options. When it comes to hinges with a pivot point of 20mm or 36mm, door installers are now free to choose the fastening elements that they would like to order for the hinge bodies. After all, the requirements placed on hinge mounting are just as diverse as the system landscapes that hinges have to serve. The Hahn anchor screw is the fastening element of choice for almost all multichamber sections, while the mounting plate is used for cold sections and the Hahn screw anchor is used especially for doorleaf-concealing panels. As a result, the new <link>Series 60 AT offers the right solution for every situation.

 

Certified for high loads

The high load capacity of both hinge versions of the Series 60 AT has been tested and verified by a testing laboratory. The 2-piece and 3-piece version have attained a hinge class 14 —currently the highest rating available for single-axis door hinges. The 3-piece version with a borehole gauge of 125mm earned the hinge class 11 rating based on special testing criteria, whereby its high load capacity was also certified by testers. The standard version of the new Series 60 AT hinges has demonstrated its usability on smoke-resistant and fire safety doors within the framework of component testing.
