SOSS Door Hardware Hercules Hinge Data Sheet 2018-1

New! SOSS Hercules Hinge®

The new SOSS Hercules Hinges® are ideal for doors of extreme weight or size. They can be used in place of standard model #218 or #220 invisible hinges when the use of fewer hinges is needed.

For example, a standard 80" tall, 36" wide, 1-3/4" door that weighs 150 lbs. normally needs four model #218 SOSS Invisible Hinges. With the SOSS Hercules Hinge® model #218H on this size door, only two hinges are required.
