Switzerland is internationally renowned for its architectural precision, strict building safety codes, and demanding environmental protection standards. The Swiss commercial and industrial construction sector requires hardware that meets MINERGIE standards, fire safety requirements, and robust mechanical longevity under high-traffic conditions. Continuous geared hinges have emerged as the standard solution for heavy-duty entry doors, escape routes, and partition systems throughout Swiss public sectors, hospitals, financial offices, and alpine transit terminals.
Swiss weather exhibits high thermal swings between cold winters and warm summers. Our continuous geared hinges utilize high-grade architectural aluminum alloys with custom thermal clearances, ensuring smooth operational tolerances and zero binding from -30°C to +50°C.
Aligned with the Swiss engineering ethos, our continuous hinges are extruded and CNC machined to micro-tolerances. Each gear segment meshes flawlessly, distributing door weight evenly across the entire frame length to eliminate sag and friction wear.
Public infrastructures like schools, clinics, and airports in Zurich, Geneva, and Bern require hardware conforming to European Standards (EN 1935). Our hinges undergo rigorous cycle testing to meet high-security and fire safety demands.
Continuous geared hinges operate on a simple yet highly effective mechanical premise: instead of concentrating door weight on two or three knuckle points, they utilize a continuous gear channel that transfers loads equally across the frame. This eliminates door sag, reduces maintenance, and protects the structural integrity of high-use entrance systems.
We source premium raw billets of 6063-T6 aluminum alloy. These materials are processed through state-of-the-art extrusion lines that press profiles up to 1.2 meters in width or 28 meters in length. Aluminum 6063-T6 offers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, high corrosion resistance, and excellent response to anodizing, making it the perfect substrate for demanding architectural installations.
Furthermore, our hinges incorporate high-performance self-lubricating polymer bearings. These bearings prevent metal-on-metal friction within the gear assembly, ensuring quiet, maintenance-free operations over millions of cycles without the need for messy liquid lubricants.

15-Year Engineering Expertise
Our specialized engineers bring over 15 years of technical expertise, solving complex layout issues and customizing continuous geared hinge profiles for unique Swiss architectural projects.
Amid global market fluctuations, keeping construction projects on schedule requires a reliable supply chain. Our factory in Foshan, the epicenter of global aluminum extrusion, offers an unmatched combination of raw material stability, mass manufacturing capacity, and integrated logistics optimization.
By leveraging automated extrusion and CNC lines, we maintain short production windows. We can produce custom-length architectural continuous hinges within 15–20 days, and dispatch them directly to Swiss commercial hubs like Zurich and Basel via swift ocean-rail transport corridors.
Our quality control engineers perform dimensional testing, alloy composition confirmation, and anodization layer thickness checks on every batch. Each shipment includes material test certificates conforming to EN standards, ensuring seamless custom clearance and construction site sign-off.
Typical commercial door hinges bear the weight at static locations, leading to frame damage and door misalignment. In Swiss buildings, continuous geared hinges are widely utilized across various high-stress environments:
In Basel's clean rooms and hospitals, airtightness is paramount. Continuous geared hinges seal the entire vertical gap between the door and frame, preventing air leakage and eliminating friction dust associated with standard hinges.
Heavy entrance doors at ski lifts and winter resorts face constant exposure to freezing temperatures, moisture, and high winds. Aluminum geared hinges prevent draft leaks and never rust, providing long-term structural integrity.
Swiss schools require highly durable hardware to prevent injury (anti-finger-trap design) and withstand constant wear. Continuous geared hinges eliminate the gap on the hinge side of the door, protecting child safety.
Whether you are designing a new commercial facility in Zurich, refurbishing a pharmaceutical lab in Basel, or upgrading security entrances in Geneva, our team is ready to deliver precise, high-performance continuous geared hinges.
