3D Hinge, 180�, Aluminium, Zinc Diecast and Steel, Tectus TE 340

Product Details

What does “3D continuous adjustment” mean on the Tectus TE340 hinge?

The Tectus TE340 3D provides continuous 3 dimensional adjustment so you can fine tune the door alignment after fitting. Side adjustment is up to 3 mm, height adjustment is minus 3 to plus 3 mm, and closing pressure adjustment is within plus or minus 1 mm. This helps achieve an even reveal and improved closing performance.

Is the TE340 suitable for flush doors and different frame types?

Yes. This hinge is designed for flush doors and can be used with wooden, steel or aluminium frames. It is also suitable for frame types including metal frames and aluminium frames, giving flexibility when specifying architectural ironmongery across mixed project builds.

What is the maximum door weight when using two TE340 hinges?

For a pair of hinges, the stated maximum door weight is 80 kg. If your door is heavier or you are unsure about suitability, it is best to confirm the hinge count and door specification before installation to ensure safe performance.

What door thickness and machining do I need for installation?

The TE340 is designed for doors with a thickness of 38 mm or greater. For the hinge recess, you will need a router bit diameter of 24 mm. Using the correct machining size helps the hinge sit properly and ensures smooth adjustment across the hinge range.

Does this hinge require lubrication over time?

No. The hinge uses a friction bearing that is maintenance free. This reduces ongoing maintenance tasks and helps maintain consistent performance once the door is aligned using the 3D adjustment.

Is it certified, and which standard does it meet?

Yes. The Tectus TE340 3D hinge is certified in compliance with EN 1935:2002. This certification is commonly used as a benchmark for performance requirements for door hardware.

What finishing can I expect from the “Matt chrome (f1) powder coated” option?

The hinge is supplied with a matt chrome powder coated finish. Powder coating is chosen for a consistent surface appearance and good everyday durability, helping the hinge blend neatly with matching architectural ironmongery.

What comes in the box and do I need separate fixing screws?

The hinge is supplied with fixing screws. Having the correct screws included helps speed up installation and ensures you can fit the hinge without needing to source additional hardware for the initial mounting.
