Dynamic 2D hinge withstands double the
force
SFS intec's new Dynamic 2D hinge will still function after being subjected to a force approaching 9kN, double the maximum force usually applied to doors in PAS-24 tests.
Independent security tests carried out on PVC-U doors fitted with SFS intec's new Dynamic 2D hinge have demonstrated that the hinge will still function after being subjected to a force approaching 9kN, double the maximum force usually applied to doors in PAS-24 tests This remarkable performance was achieved during a recent independent test, which involved a PVC-U door manufactured using one of the industry's most widely used profile systems

Dynamic dimension opened up by SFS intec
SFS intec has developed eight standard colour options for its stylish Dynamic 2D hinge for PVC-U and composite doors.
An earlier PAS-24 test also proved the Dynamic 2D's excellent strength characteristics with another leading profile system.
With the hinge's popularity increasing amongst leading systems companies, SFS intec's technical team is fully confident of a universally high performance standard.
BS: PAS 24-1: 1999, enhanced security performance requirements for door assemblies, is the minimum police requirement for Secured by Design dwellings.
Passing this test means that a particular door, frame, lock and hardware set has withstood a series of physical tests based on common methods of burglary.
For fabricators using all types of profile, the Dynamic 2D hinge allows the creation of the optimum PVC-U door.
The hinge's slimline appearance combined with its superior strength characteristics meets the needs of a market that demands the best looking doors, but which is becoming ever more familiar with initiatives such as Secured by Design.
Nigel Wood of SFS intec says, "By using the Dynamic 2D hinge, fabricators can provide vital security assurances to specifiers, customers and insurance companies".
"The hinge also allows fabricators to produce a robust door which has elegant aesthetics to give good sightlines, potentially giving them an important marketing edge over their competitors".
Available in a variety of colours, which include white, black, light brown, dark brown, plus polished and satin gold and chrome, the Dynamic 2D hinge offers fabricators an ideal solution for the retail and commercial markets.
