EMKA hinges for COVID barriers and shields 29 October 2020

EMKA has been providing its 1056 program hinges for the construction of COVID protective ‘split screens’ or barriers.

Supermarket checkouts, shop cashpoints and other public service positions can add the flexibility of hinged protection panels by use of these surface mounted hinges in stainless steel, zinc die or polyamide – in metal finish or black.

Specifically, the 1056 lift off hinge is frequently favoured, while the torque adjustable 1056 finds application where quick opening is required without the need for a lock.

1056 program hinges are available with stud fixings for speed and ease of assembly or with screw facilities. Particular variants are offered to match common aluminium profile frames.
