HINGES SERIES

Flight case hinges come in several types, each suitable for different scenarios:

1. Standard Butt Hinge

The most common type, simple in structure and affordable. Suitable for regular cases with no high requirements for sealing.

2. Continuous Hinge/Piano Hinge

The length of the hinge is generally equal to the width of the door, which helps distribute the load, enhancing the overall structural strength and durability.

3. Heavy-Duty Gear Hinge

Featuring an aluminum gear structure, this hinge offers excellent load-bearing capacity and is specifically designed for heavy doors.

4. Concealed Hinge

Installed inside the case, this hinge offers a clean appearance and helps improve the case’s sealing and shock resistance.

5. Injection-Molded Hinge

Used on some protective cases made from materials like polycarbonate, these plastic hinges are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, molded in one piece.

When choosing a hinge, consider the following aspects:

1. Material and Craftsmanship: Common materials for flight case hinges include steel and aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy hinges are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, often used in commercial-grade heavy-duty hinges with transparent anodized finishes. Steel hinges offer higher strength but require surface treatments like plating for rust prevention.

2. Size and Load Capacity: Be sure to choose a hinge that matches the dimensions of your case and the weight of the door. For example, heavy-duty gear hinges provide stronger support due to their structure.

3. Installation Method: Confirm that the hinge installation method is compatible with your case’s design, and verify the hole spacing and other parameters needed for installation.
