Does putting glass directly to the wall actually work?
Yes. Glass to wall hinges work in nearly any glass application when engineered correctly. Waterson’s designs support:
- Office glass doors
- Medical and dental clinic glass entrances
- Frameless commercial glass doors
- Glass pool gates and exterior glass gates
Whether the opening requires controlled closure, weather resistance, or ADA-focused usability, glass to wall hinges provide secure installation without the need for bulky frames or floor springs.
How do you know if a Waterson glass to wall hinge is truly heavy-duty?
AEC professionals don’t trust buzzwords—they trust data.
Here’s what defines Waterson glass to wall hinges heavy duty performance:
- 1,000,000+ cycle durability test — verified door movement longevity well beyond industry minimums
- Precision stainless steel 304 and 316 construction — corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and built for high-traffic commercial use
- Hybrid mechanical + fluid-motion design — smoother control, reduced shock, and tighter speed regulation
- Up to 260 lbs door weight capacity depending on configuration
- 8–12 mm glass compatibility for common architectural glass thickness
If the hinge cannot survive commercial cycles or resist corrosion, it’s not heavy-duty. Waterson solves both.
Can Waterson glass to wall hinges open to 180°?
Technically, yes—but with an important engineering note.
Waterson glass door hinges are optimized for 0°–120° operation.
The 120° recommendation protects the internal mechanism from long-term stress.
Frequent use beyond 120° will:
- Accelerates wear on the hinge
- Reduces long-term stability
- Be not covered under warranty
Occasional 180° openings are possible, but not recommended for daily use.
