Panel hinges set flush into a frame
Hinges are specifically designed for use with doors that are set flush into a frame, either on a cabinet or equipment such as machine guards or access panels.
The EMKA programme of hinges covered by the 1050 reference is specifically designed for use with doors that are set flush into a frame, either on a cabinet or equipment such as machine guards or access panels Because of their external mounting many take the form of a low profile with concealed pivot pins, and are particularly suited to outdoor applications

Hinge offers simple sealing and 180 deg opening
EMKA has introduced a cabinet hinge that permits IP3X to be achieved, protecting against fingers and large probes and can be fitted to cabinet margins down to 25mm.
Compression latches enhance cabinet security
The EMKA 1000 program compression latches feature built-in adjustment as well as industry standard key numbering to match or extend existing installations.
Variants such as the 1056 series feature blind stainless steel pins for increased security and various fixing methods are employed, including countersunk screws, concealed studs, integral rivets.
The novel EMKA removable pin fixing is a particularly quick and simple method.
Hinges of course come in many sizes and size selection is dependant upon the door - large or multiple hinges may be used if required, e.g on acoustic canopies, chambers etc.
The same 1056 series also includes hinges suitable for standard aluminium profiles used by major control equipment manufacturers - e.g for machine guards.
EMKA are very aware that different applications demand different materials and offer a choice within the 1050 programme.
This choice includes: Zinc diecast - suitable for use in external applications with stainless steel pin.
Available in powder paint or chrome finish.
Polyamide - a low cost, low weight material, good in mildly corrosive conditions.
Stainless steel - needed in offshore or other harsh environments, e.g chemical washdown areas, or where ultimate strength is required.
As ever, some situations are less standard than others and where flush doors require adjustment for fit, then EMKA can offer 1050 hinges with 2 and 3 dimensional adjustment to ensure correct fit and gasket sealing. Request a free brochure from EMKA UK ...
