CRL Cardiff Series Pivot Hinges are designed for use with 5/16" (8 mm) to 3/8" (10 mm) tempered safety glass, and provide an extra number of application possibilities. Some advantages of pivot type hinges include the fact that they carry the majority of the weight on the bottom, and have the ability to be inset from the wall, enabling clearance for towel bars and other projections. Cardiff Series Pivot Hinges are self-centering, with four springs for maximum retention strength. Optional 5º Pre-Set Pivot Pin Sets may be ordered separately. The Cardiff Series is adaptable to our Deluxe Header System for shower enclosures not going all the way up to the ceiling. (Must order HAB01 Adaptor Block Separately.)


NOTE: Optional 5º Pivot Pin Set (for Cardiff, Prima, Rondo, and Shell Series) Optional 5º Pivot Pin sets are available when you want to alter the closing position of the door by 5º. These Pivot Pins may be inserted prior to installation, or retrofitted after the installation is complete. Sold as a set of two, one for the top, and one for the bottom. Not included with hinge purchase.
