Heavy-Duty Hinge

The master hinge maker Cooke Brothers has introduced Loadmaster Plus, a new range of architectural hinges that are specifically engineered for high-performance doors that need hinges with additional strength.
The hinge has load-bearing capacity up to 200kg.
Developed in response to demand from specifiers working on larger, heavier doors in high-traffic environments, Loadmaster Plus retains the core features of the original Loadmaster but steps up the performance with a 4mm-thick hinge leaf, stainless steel washer and a beefed-up barrel design.
Testing
Like the original Loadmaster range, Loadmaster Plus is tested to EN1935:2002 Grade 14 with independent testing up to 200kg, is Certifire approved, and comes with Cooke Brothers’ 25-year guarantee. It is available in both fixed pin and lift-off options, with a wide choice of finishes and types, including reduced-ligature, dog bolt and conductor hinge models as special options.
“Loadmaster has been a mainstay of our hinge range for years but some projects simply demand more,” says Tim Cooke, the managing director at Cooke Brothers. “Loadmaster Plus gives specifiers the extra strength and stability they need for bigger, heavier doors while maintaining full compliance.”
