Detent Hinges
Our detent hinges are designed to provide controlled positioning and secure holding for doors, panels, and lids. Featuring a built-in detent mechanism, these hinges allow components to snap into predefined positions and remain securely in place until manually moved. This makes them ideal for applications where stability, precision, and hands-free operation are required.
Available in both plastic and metal constructions, detent hinges combine durability with smooth operation. Plastic variants offer lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance for electronics, instrumentation, and non-conductive applications, while metal options provide higher load capacity and long-term reliability for industrial or heavy-duty use.
What are they key benefits of using a detent hinge?
- Holds panels or lids at predetermined angles without external support
- Provides smooth, controlled operation with tactile feedback
- Reduces wear and tear by stabilizing repeated movement
- Lightweight or heavy-duty options depending on material
