● Slip Joint Hinges (Lift-off Hinges and Flag Hinges)

Continuous Hinges


Knuth hinges are known for their quality and reliability because of our unique manufacturing process and ability to produce close tolerance parts. Only Knuth Hinge punches the hole or piercing patterns into the hinge after forming to maintain ±.005 inch position tolerance. Total end play and side play can also be held to this same exacting tolerance. Accurate alignment is provided, while uniform strength is maintained throughout the length of the hinge, creating smooth pivotal action.

We can custom manufacture these hinges with:
● Notched or radius-cut corners
● Slots, holes, countersunk holes, key slots, and more
● A variety of lengths, widths and finishes
● Springs (or without, if needed)

These precision hinges can also be manufactured to limit the travel of the leaves to a specific angle. While standard assembly continuous hinge leaves lay flat in the open position, other options include:

● Reverse assembly
● One leaf swaged
● Both leaves swaged
● One leaf bent
● Offset
