Durable and Customizable Heavy-Duty Spring Hinges

The full line of high-quality Vectis® heavy-duty spring hinges is purpose-built for a wide range of applications.

Available in four versatile models — 200, 600, 1200, and 1800 — each hinge can be customized to deliver the precise torque output required for your application.
