Hinge Terminology | Midlake Custom Hinges

	Plain or Standard Type Hinge Leaves lay flat in the same plane in an open position
	Reverse Assembly Hinge Neither leaf swaged. Opposing leaves extend laterally from opposite side of the pin. Leaves will not close to a parallel position.
	Swaging Hinge Forming one or both leaves within the proximity of paint clearance toward or beyond the center of the pin.
	One Leaf Half Swaged One leaf swaged one half of the pin diameter.
	One Leaf Full Swaged One leaf swaged equal to the pin diameter. Both leaves will be parallel when in closed position.
	Reverse Swaged One leaf swaged to simulate reverse assembly. Leaves will not close to a parallel position
	Offset Forming one or both leaves in the proximity of the paint clearance away from the center of the pin. When both leaves are offset and in a closed and parallel position, the dimension between the leaves will be greater then the pin diameter.
	Forming Special bending of the leaves other than swaging or offsetting.
	Multi Leaf Hinge Made-to-order hinge with one barrel and several leaves.
	Unequal Leaf Hinge Unequal leaf hinges are available in all material and gauges. Leaves should be measured from pin center to outside edge of leaf.
