What was tested: durability<\/h3>\r\nTwo hinges were mounted on a test door measuring 700 \u00d7 600 \u00d7 19 mm and weighing 5.0 kg, then cycled open and closed 100,000 times. The hinges showed no loss of serviceability. The procedure follows clause 17.6 of ANSI\/BIFMA X5.5-2021; the cycle count was specified by TOUCH.\r\n\r\nDownload durability report (PDF)<\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/article>

What was tested: corrosion<\/h3>\r\nA hinge was exposed to a continuous neutral salt fog (50 g\/L NaCl solution, 35 \u00b0C) for 48 hours, then rated on the 11-step ISO 10289 scale, where 10 means no defects. The hinge was rated Grade 10.\r\n\r\nDownload salt spray report (PDF)<\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/article><\/section>
