Standard ANSI/BHMA A156.17-2014 establishes requirements for Self Closing Hinges & Pivots. In 5.3.1 cycle requirements, it clearly states different grades of single acting hinges. Although the spec says we should not use this test procedure as a guide for actual installations, it still provides valuable quality assurance for hinge standard.Single Acting Hinges | |
