Hinge Express Program
Hinge Express is our new program for one-day
custom hinge design – a commitment to you – developed
over decades. It's an uncomplicated way for you to solve
a design problem without headaches. You call
us, tell us what you need, and, typically, one day later
you have answers.
Our unique response to customer requirements is possible
due to to three areas of expertise:
-
First, and most notable, is our experience as a
hinge manufacturer. Weber Knapp began designing
and producing hardware at the turn of the
century and, thanks to our many satisfied
customers, has developed into a company with
300,000-sq. ft. of production space, a skilled
engineering staff, and state-of-the-art
manufacturing.
-
Second, we maintain the industry's most complete
library of existing designs, which can be
referenced immediately as a resource for new
ideas.
- Third, we design using CAD technology to
support manufacturing, allowing reflex-like
response times.
We believe Hinge Express is a “win – win” for old
friends and new customers alike. We can offer you rapid
response, fast answers, proven manufacturing, and
outstanding quality control. Give us a call today and
make Hinge Express work for you.

 Weber
Knapp hinge design starts with understanding your
specific hinge application. Then, by conducting a quick
comprehensive database search, we locate standard hinge
assemblies or any existing combination of tooling that
can be used to meet that need. In-house customized
parametric CAD solutions are used to specify, design,
and draw new hinge configurations. Digital files can be
sent via attached e-mail in AutoCAD or Pro-E formats for
immediate review and consultation with the
client/customer. Paper prints can be faxed or mailed.
 Skilled
model shop technicians craft sample hinges per approved
drawings for quick response. Production quantities are
produced cost effectively on coil-fed stamping presses
using progressive dies. Hinge leaves and/or assemblies
are finished in automated barrel plating lines, rack
plating lines, and automated or manual powder coating
facilities to produce the finish selected by the
customer. Hinges are assembled on specialized automated
rotary indexing equipment which insert pins, close curls
and provide for riveting or finial assembly under the
watchful eye of the experienced operator. Final forms
are applied in mechanical presses to fit your custom
specifications.
 Hinge
components are inspected every step of the way through
the production process and receive a thorough final
inspection prior to packing & shipping.
