The decision to prioritize security when selecting hinges for exterior places is an essential one. Choosing hinges for exterior areas requires prioritizing security. While standard removable pin hinges offer easy installation and adjustments, they may not provide adequate safety. On the other hand, self-closing, non-removable pin door hinges excel in meeting this paramount need, making them the superior choice for protecting commercial self-closing openings.

Enhancing Security Measures with Non-Removable Pin Hinges

Non-removable pin hinges, also known as NRP hinges, provide a secure and highly beneficial solution for doors with visible exterior hinges. These hinges effectively discourage unauthorized access attempts, offering a practical security measure. By securely enclosing the hinge pins within the barrel, they significantly increase resistance against break-ins. In contrast, removable pin hinges render them susceptible to manipulation. Determined intruders can swiftly remove these pins in commercial spaces, granting unrestricted access and compromising business security. Overall, NRP hinges provide peace of mind, alleviating concerns about break-ins and ensuring optimal security.

NRP Door Hinge Meets Stainless Steel

Non-removable pin hinges could offer long-lasting durability with corrosion-resistant material. Unlike removable pins that wear down with use, these NRP stainless steel hinges are designed for long-term use. This design reduces the need for maintenance and replacement while enhancing resistance to an exterior environment. For example, Waterson NRP stainless steel hinges excel at supporting heavy loads. For example, a set of three hinges can bear up to 260 lbs, making them ideal for doors measuring 1 ¾” thick, 3’-9” wide, and 8’-0” tall. Our heavy-duty door hinges, a blend of stainless steel and NRP provide excellent security for exterior doors and protection against corrosion.
