OBJECTA - Heavy-duty door hinge with a barrel diameter of only 20 mm

They need to be strong for reliable continuous operation. And ever stronger as requirements increase. However, they should not be conspicuous and should blend discreetly into the door and wall design. This balancing act has long been achieved with concealed door hinge systems. At Fensterbau Frontale from 19 to 22 March 2024 in Nuremberg, BaSys is now also taking this approach for visible hinges.

At stand 4-353 in hall 4, the focus will be on an object hinge system with a material thickness of 4 mm and a barrel diameter of just 20 mm instead of the usual 22 mm. This makes the "Objecta 2029/160/56-4" for flush-hinged doors and the "Objecta 2039/160/56-4" for rebated doors slimmer, but like the "2229" and the "2239" it can carry doors weighing 300 kilograms. There is also a variant for continuous seals in the door leaf.

The new development was not cost-driven, emphasizes Managing Director Jürgen Bartels. The only inspiration was the visual appearance, where the hinge does not reveal how heavy the door actually is. "It's very charming when both normal and heavy doors in a building have the same lean barrel diameter throughout," he emphasizes.

Basys achieves the minimalist look by using a thinner axis around which the 4 mm thick material is rolled more tightly. According to Bartels, the production method has not changed the static or dynamic load values.
