What Are Industrial Hinge Pins?
Hinge pins are central rods that are inserted through hinge plates. These pins keep the two halves of a hinge joined together and allow the door to swing open and closed. Industrial hinge pins are often fixed to prevent tampering and increase security. However, SPEP also offers removable hinge pins if you prefer.
Our removable hinge pins provide better convenience for tasks like door removal. For instance, if an end user needs to repair a door, they could easily tap out the pin. That said, our security pins cannot be removed when the door is closed, which prevents tampering.
Materials and Durability
Like other types of access hardware, hinge pins are available in multiple materials. The choice of material depends largely on your intended application and the environment the pin will be exposed to. Currently, SPEP offers hinge pins in two materials:
Brass Pins: Common in interior applications, as they provide good corrosion resistance and an aesthetic appeal
Stainless Steel Pins: Ideal for environments exposed to chemicals or moisture because they are corrosion-resistant
The quality of the material and the precision of the manufacturing and finishing processes will have a direct impact on the durability of your hinge pins. That is why it is especially important to source your industrial hinge pins from a reputable manufacturer like Sierra Pacific.
The Role of Industrial Hinge Pins in Security
When it comes to security applications, such as exterior doors and gates, the hinge pin is crucial. In many scenarios, especially with exterior-facing doors, the hinge pins are on the outside. If these pins are easily removable, it creates a security risk. An intruder could remove the hinge pin and dislodge the door from the frame.
To combat that risk, SPEP offers security hinge pins with non-removable pins. When the door is closed, an interlocking mechanism prevents the pin from being tapped out. This provides an extra layer of protection against thieves.
Our Selection of Hinge Pins
Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products currently offers 12 different hinge pins, six made from brass and six from stainless steel. All are 72” long and vary in diameter to accommodate varying hinge sizes.
Thanks to our extensive catalog of access hardware components, we can process your order fast and get you the hinge pins you need for your next project. We also supply hinges, mounting hardware, handles, and more, so make sure to thoroughly explore our expansive catalog.
Custom Hinge Pins for Industrial Applications
SPEP’s 72” brass and stainless steel hinge pins will meet the needs of most industrial applications. But if you require a custom set of hinge pins, Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products is up to that task as well.
At SPEP, we have a talented team of in-house engineers who specialize in designing and prototyping custom-access hardware. We will design hinge pins that align with the specs you provide. Then, we’ll generate a prototype and put it into production after receiving your final approval.
And once we fulfill your order, we will retain the specs for your custom hardware for any potential future designs. SPEP is the only team to call when your project calls for unique components.
