CRL Cardiff Series Pivot Hinges are engineered for 5/16" (8 mm) to 3/8" (10 mm) tempered safety glass and expand application options for frameless shower doors. Pivot hinges transfer most weight to the bottom and can be inset from the wall to provide clearance for towel bars and other projections. The Cardiff Series is self-centering with four internal springs for maximum retention strength and full-rotation hinge swings. Optional 5º pre-set pivot pin sets are available to adjust the closing position; these may be installed before or retrofitted after installation. The Cardiff Series is compatible with the Deluxe Header System for enclosures that do not extend to the ceiling.
NOTE: Optional 5º Pivot Pin Set (for Cardiff, Prima, Rondo, and Shell Series) — sold as a set of two (top and bottom). Not included with hinge purchase.
Performance using two hinges: With 5/16" or 3/8" glass (8 or 10 mm), two hinges will hold up to 100 lbs. (45 kg) with a maximum door width of 31" (787 mm).
