CRL Senior Cardiff Series Pivot Hinge – Matte Black – SRCAR01MBL
The CRL Senior Cardiff Series Pivot Hinge is a heavy-duty top and bottom mount hinge specifically designed for 1/2" (12 mm) monolithic tempered safety glass. Featuring a traditional square-corner design, it provides reliable performance and a clean architectural appearance for frameless shower enclosures.
As the larger version of CRL's popular Cardiff Series, the Senior Cardiff accommodates heavier and wider glass doors. The top and bottom pivot configuration transfers most of the door's weight to the bottom hinge, providing excellent support while minimizing the amount of glass hardware required.
The hinge can be positioned inward from the door edge, allowing additional clearance for towel bars, handles, and other projecting fixtures.
