Hinge Security

Security is inherent in all Phoenix hinges. When fitted to an inward opening door the hinges cannot be attacked from the outside. Where the hinge barrel in the ‘Standard’ hinge range is exposed to possible attack security is provided by both ends of the hinge shaft being riveted over.
Security can be further enhanced with built in hinge bolts (dog bolts) these are unobtrusive yet effective, preventing the opening of a door even if the hinge pin is removed and are an option available on most Phoenix hinges.
High level security is achieved with welded pin hinges - filling the hinge barrel ends with a solid plug of welded metal removes the risk of the pins being driven out. For very high security applications Cooke Brothers 7160A BT hinge which was developed to meet the exacting demands of British Telecom is available.
A range of anti-tamper screws is available to order. Institution, Hospital or Prison safety hinges are made with the hinge pin tips and knuckles radiused and are designed for use in buildings where there is a possible risk of self-inflicted injury.
