New guide walks you through hinge specification

S and S Hinge has a new reference guide, "Design Engineering with Standard Continuous Hinges".

"The customer service department at S and S Hinge is often asked to quote blueprints for hinges that are unnecessarily complex and, therefore, unnecessarily expensive.

To help prevent such unfortunate RFQs, we developed our new reference guide, "Design Engineering with Standard Continuous Hinges," to walk engineers through the hinge specification process.

" Our single most important piece of advice is to consider standard hinge options before designing." said Chris Stevenson, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at S and S Hinge Company, a third generation manufacturer of continuous hinges.

"We encourage engineers to consider the function requirements and how the hinge will be attached to the product assembly early in the design process."S and S manufactures continuous hinges on fully-automated, high-speed production lines and keeps over 200 standard hinges on the floor for immediate delivery at all times.

The reference guide reviews the four basic production parameters of standard continuous hinges: gauge, metal, width, and length, as well as secondary operations such as hole-punching and bending.

The guide is available free of charge to interested engineers and purchasing agents.
