Swing into Spring with FA Parkes
As we say farewell to the colder winter months and move into the warmer Spring weather, it's nice to finally start opening our doors and windows more to let in the fresh air again!
And as it's Spring, we thought it's the perfect time to highlight some of our most popular 'spring' type hinges, handles, latches and accessories.
There are several advantages to using spring-loaded hardware, such as spring-loaded hinges, spring bolts, spring latches, and sprung handle hardware to improve the security and functionality of doors and other enclosures.
Convenience
Spring-loaded hardware is designed to provide a quick and easy way to open and close doors, gates, cabinets, and other items. The spring mechanism helps to reduce the amount of force needed to operate the hardware, making it more convenient to use and easier on the operator.
Safety
Spring hinges can help to improve safety by ensuring that doors and gates remain securely closed when not in use. This can help to prevent accidents and injuries caused by doors or gates that are left open or which haven't been properly secured.
Durability
Typically designed to withstand heavy use and abuse, spring mechanisms help to absorb shock and prevent damage to the hardware, which can help to extend their lifespan and reduce the need for frequent repairs or replacements. Spring latches can also be used to keep doors from swinging open too wide, which can help to prevent damage to the door or the frame.
Security
Spring-loaded hardware can help to improve security by providing a more secure closure for doors, gates, and other items. Spring bolts, latches, and handles are often used in conjunction with locks and other security measures to provide an extra layer of protection.
Aesthetics
Concealed spring hinges are designed to be hidden out of view in order to make the required equipement or furniture more visually appealing. With sleek, modern designs they can enhance the overall appearance of doors, gates, cabinets, and other items. This can be particularly important for items that are on display or used in high-traffic areas.

Each of these can help to improve the overall function of a product but the best solution for any particular application will always depend on the specific needs of the user and the object in question.
