Busting Few Common Misconceptions about Bommer spring hinges

Architectures and engineers have designed many types of hinges for the easy and convenient use for people. If one hinge is made to close the door gradually as it opens so that the person does not have to move from his position, other hinge is designed in such a way so that it can displace heavier loads through greater angles. Some hinges are designed in such a way that they perfectly blend in with the glass and fancy door to maintain the symmetry and architecture. 

Out of many hinges like pivot hinges and all, bommer hinges are one of them. Here are few misconceptions that people commonly assume about bommer spring hinges:

• People generally assume that bommer hinges are used to displace large weighing objects like the front gates and vault open systems. But, in general, the hinges that are used to move and bold heavy weight objects are pivot hinges and bommer hinges are not used for that particular purpose. The hinges which are used in the opening of vaults and underground structures are not at all hinges, but they are termed as access hatches. As a matter of fact, access hatches are totally different from hinges.

• If not for the first misconception, most people assume bommer hinges to be the ones that automatically close the door behind you and you will not even have the need to move an inch from your place and still close the door. Well, in actual practice, these automatic closing of the doors is operated by the double swing hinges. One flake of the double swing hinge is fixed to the frame and the other is movable and tends to come back and stick to the fixed flake. Due to this inertia, the door fixed to the double swing hinge also comes back to the closing position. Pivot hinges totally differ from these bommer hinges.

If care is taken not to overlook over these topics, then the general misconceptions over the bommer hinges can be completely erased and a proper meaning can be spread.
