Aximat 300 Single Pivot Institutional Hinge

The Aximat™ 300 is a re-design and improved version of a relatively common institutional hinge.  The improved version of the Aximat™ offers a decorative exposed knuckle for a sleeker, more stylish look, the adjustability to align doors, a wider degree of opening (270º:  allowing for the door to pivot completely out of the way) and it is much more heavy duty.  The Aximat™ 300 is the only 3-way adjustable clip-on hinge on the market which meets the tough requirements of the ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Standard. 

Advantages:
• Hinges have integrated door catch, no additional door
catches required

Applications:
• Schools, retail environments, healthcare & laboratory
furniture, offices, lockers, garage storage cabinets, etc.

The Aximat 300 from Häfele is the only 3D Clip-On hinge which meets
the highest requirements of the Woodworkers Institute and ANSI/BHMA
Grade 1 Standards.

In the real world this means a door weighing 40 lbs. can be opened and closed 13 times per day, 365 days per year, (withstand some occasional abuse) and operate trouble-free for over 20 years.
