Why Public Spaces Need a Different Spec
A residential hinge might see dozens of openings a week. A gym hinge sees hundreds. The difference shows up as looseness, corrosion and call-backs. We spec for the load and the environment, not the catalog average.
Public-Space Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions
What hardware is best for public spaces?
316 stainless in wet areas, heavy-duty brass or stainless elsewhere. The key is rating for traffic and matching the environment — not just picking a style.
How do we handle maintenance and spares?
We keep your spec on file so reorders and spares are identical years later — no hunting for a discontinued fitting.
Can you customize for accessibility or special layout?
Yes. Send the layout and we’ll propose fixings and lengths for the space, including accessibility considerations.
