Project Description

Earlier this year one of our customers residing on the California coast reached out to us looking for a corrosion-resistant closing solution for his exterior shower room. His surroundings were frequently affected by water, sand and salt, so he needed a durable solution to withstand this harsh environment.

Waterson gate spring hinges for square tubing are available in four state-of-the-art styles – butt hinge, half surface and two full surface types. Each type provides speed control, ADA compliance, and weldability for commercial and residential use.

  • Butt Surface: Operates like a full-mortise hinge.  Great for most common gates that operate like a regular door.
  • Half Surface: Ideal for mid-post positioned doors like half gates in supermarkets.
  • Full Surface: Suitable for interior or exterior post gates.  Available in back plate clamp style (K51P) and screw-only weldable type (K51PS).
