CRL Cardiff Series Pivot Hinges (SKU: CAR07CH) are engineered for 5/16" (8 mm) to 3/8" (10 mm) tempered safety glass and offer expanded application flexibility for shower enclosures and frameless glass doors. As pivot-type hinges, they transfer most weight to the bottom pivot for reliable support and can be inset from the wall to provide clearance for towel bars and other projections. Cardiff hinges are self-centering with four internal springs for strong retention. Optional 5° pre-set pivot pin sets are available separately to alter door closing position.

Key benefits / differentiators:

• Top & bottom mount U-clamp reduces need for horizontal headers—ideal for modern frameless glass shower doors
• Self-centering action within 15° of closed position for smooth, consistent operation
• Solid brass construction for long-lasting corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Compatible with Deluxe Header System for partial-height enclosures

NOTE: Optional 5° Pivot Pin Set (sold as a pair) fits Cardiff, Prima, Rondo, and Shell Series. Can be installed before or retrofitted after hinge installation. Not included with hinge purchase.

Using two hinges: With 5/16" or 3/8" glass (8 or 10 mm), two hinges will support up to 100 lbs (45 kg) with a maximum door width of 31" (787 mm).
