Aluminium Glass Hinge, Glass to Wall, Rounded End Plate, for 8-12mm Glass Gates, Satin, with Fixings

This hinge hangs a frameless glass gate or door from a wall, pier or flat post, so the glass swings with no frame around it. One leaf screws flat to the wall; the other is a round-ended D shaped satin aluminium plate that clamps the glass between gaskets with two bolts passing through holes in the glass. It suits glass 8mm to 12mm thick, measures 105mm from end to end with an 82mm plate on the glass, and comes with wall screws, plugs and a hex key. The price shown is for one hinge, with a minimum order of 2, because most gates need two.

Why use this hinge

A gate that matches the glass. A frameless balustrade or pool fence looks best with a glass gate. This hinge keeps the gate all glass, with only a small satin plate on the panel and a narrow leaf at the wall.

A plain face on the glass. The rounded end plate has no screw heads on its outer face, so the front of the hinge reads as one clean satin shape. The two clamping bolts sit on the opposite face of the glass and tighten with the hex key.

Bolted through the glass. Two bolts pass through 16mm holes in the glass and clamp it between gaskets, so the gate cannot slide out of the hinge even with heavy daily use.

Gaskets protect the glass. Fibre gaskets sit either side of the panel and sleeves line the holes, so metal never bears directly on the glass.

Complete kit. Three wall screws, three wall plugs and a hex key come in the box, so you can fit it to solid masonry straight away.

Where it is used

Glass gates hung from a building wall or a masonry pier: pool enclosures and hot tub areas at hotels and spas, terrace and roof garden gates, glass doors in receptions and shop fronts, and restaurant courtyard screens.

Specifications

Complete the gate

How many do you need?

Two hinges suit a typical pool or garden gate at waist height. A taller or wider door may need three, so follow your glass supplier's advice for the panel weight.

Choosing the right option

Check the glass is 8mm to 12mm toughened safety glass. Because the bolts pass through the glass, the holes have to be drilled before toughening, so order the hinges first and give your glass supplier the hole positions from the drawing above: two 16mm holes 45mm apart, the nearer one 33mm from the edge at the hinge. Choose between the two plate shapes on looks alone; both take the same glass and the same hole positions. The wall or post must be flat and solid where the leaf fixes. Hollow block, plasterboard and thin cladding need a different fixing from the plugs supplied.

Fitting and care

Mark the hinge positions on the wall with a level line, drill and plug, and screw the wall leaves on. Fit the gaskets and sleeves either side of the glass, offer the panel up on packers, pass the bolts through and tighten them evenly with the hex key, without overtightening. Check the swing and the gap at the wall, then remove the packers. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and avoid abrasive pads, which mark the satin finish.
