uPVC Flag Hinges

Flag hinges are some of the most common systems for securing a uPVC door to the frame. A door hinge of this type features a plate with a projecting pin (the male “flag”) and a female receiving plate. This unique pin-flag arrangement allows the uPVC door hinge to carry heavier loads. Unsurprisingly, many locksmiths use these hinges on uPVC doors, gates, shed doors, service doors, and other external entry fixtures. It also facilitates quick disconnection (if so designed) for easier maintenance. Its strong load capacity and security-friendly design make this door hinge a credible hardware for security. That should keep the UK’s burglary picture on a downward trend (currently at 215K).

These hinges aren’t new. The pin+slot design has been around since traditional ironmongery, although it’s been adapted for modern manufactured doors.
