Durable Hinges for Long-lasting Functionality
Hinges might seem like a minor detail, but in folding door installations, they are pivotal. Origin hinges are made from robust zinc and offer durability and strength without compromising on style. Choose from a stainless steel finish or have them colour-coded in any RAL shade.
Origin hinges are designed to withstand jemmying, making them suitable for both residential and commercial settings. They also support a smooth and reliable operation, even after years of use.
For specifiers, builders, and architects, downloadable product specifications and technical drawings are available to assist your project.

Maintenance and Care Instructions
To maintain the refined appearance and functionality of Soho handles and hinges, Origin recommends regular inspection and some minimal maintenance:
- Recommend that clients clean the door frames with a soft cloth and mild cleanser to remove marks, dirt and build-up. A soft brush can help clean the textured surface of the knurled handles.
- Clients should be aware that moving parts, such as hinges, the track and running gear, should be lubricated annually with a non-abrasive, silicone-based lubricant.
- Inspect for signs of wear, particularly in coastal or industrial environments.
- Avoid abrasive cleaning tools that may damage the powder coating.
