Project Description
While selecting wooden door hinges for their arch-top exterior doors, a well-known distributor in NE faced a unique challenge in sourcing the ideal heavy-duty hinges. Waterson successfully met these intricate requirements, showcasing their expertise in providing solutions that prioritize durability, aesthetic compatibility, and adherence to safety standards.
A Case in Point
The distributor faced a challenge when they needed suitable hinges for a unique pair of 3’0″ x 8’0″ arch-top exterior wooden doors. These self closing hinges for exterior doors had to support the doors’ significant weight while ensuring smooth, self-closing functionality. As a client renowned for their commitment to quality and functionality in door hardware, they prioritized heavy duty performance for exterior wooden doors like mahogany doors and a seamless aesthetic that matched the dark bronze finish of the other door hardware.
