When Less is More: InvisiHinge for Sheerline’s Prestige Door

In partnership with Ingenious Locks & Hardware (Ingenious), Sheerline is delighted to announce the launch of the patent-pending InvisiHinge for the Prestige Door. This clever concealed hinge is a game-changer, allowing for a totally flush finish and enhancing the overall aesthetics of any entrance.

But that isn’t the only benefit. The development and launch of the InvisiHinge is significant for a number of reasons. A concealed hinge has arguably been on the wish list of systems houses for years, but no other hardware company has been able to deliver a practical cost-effective solution.

As the new hinge is not visible, it is supplied in just one colour (black). The benefits of this are two-fold; the colour complements all doors, which in turn means fabricators have less inventory – reducing stockholding and lowering costs, freeing up cash, and improving efficiency.

It’s easy to install and fully adjustable once in place. Plus, due to the clever design, installers can lift the door off and leave the fixings in place, simply by removing two screws. This isn’t just useful during installation, but also if maintenance is required.

The lift-off design means the sash and outer frame can be assembled as separate components and then lifted together easily. This works the other way too and means the door can be removed with the hinge intact.

In the past, when fabricators have fitted hinges, there has been an emphasis on positioning to create a balanced look. But with InvisiHinge, there is the option to add a fourth hinge at stress points to add longevity to the installation without impacting the look of the door.

From a performance perspective, InvisiHinge is precision engineered for a flawless user experience. It features a built-in restrictor, so the movement of the door can be controlled for added safety.

For aluminium, the bespoke design of the InvisiHinge means it works exclusively with the Sheerline system, and a PVCu option is available exclusively through Whiteline Manufacturing – another of Sheerline’s trusted partners.

Nigel Hutchinson, Managing Director at Ingenious, said: We’re delighted that we’re able to launch the InvisiHinge and offer a concealed hinge to the market. It’s been our belief that there’s been a gap in the market for a product like this and it’s taken years of design and development to get it ready for launch.”

“We’re excited to be partnering with Sheerline as we get to benefit from their expertise in the aluminium market to offer the best product possible. We have a great working relationship with them, and this will only go from strength to strength”.

Dave Watts, Sheerline’s Technical Sales Director, said: “Working with Ingenious is a breath of fresh air – it’s not just that our values align in terms of innovation and business principles, but they do what they say they’re going to do, when they say they’re going to do it.”

“This has been a real ‘wish list’ project for us, and we look forward to continuing to work with Ingenious in the future,” he added.
