Modern meeting spaces and conference rooms often feature glass doors to create an open and sophisticated ambiance. These doors contribute to a sleek, professional design while maintaining privacy and sound isolation.
However, using traditional spring hinges in meeting room glass door applications often lacks controlled closing, leading to slamming that disrupts meetings. Additionally, these doors are usually heavy, and traditional spring hinges may not effectively support the weight and fragility of glass doors, increasing the risk of damage and injuries.
