Surface Mount Hinge GW L

Glass Cabinet Surface-Mount Glass-to-Wood Hinge – Left

The Surface Hinge GW Left orientation is a slim, externally mounted glass-to-wood hinge, designed for UV adhesive bonding of glass doors combined with mechanical fixing into a wooden cabinet. Manufactured from aluminium with a polished finish, this hinge provides a flat, surface-mounted solution where a minimal hardware depth and full door opening are required.

The hinge is UV bonded to the glass door without drilling, while the cabinet-side leaf is recess mounted and screw-fixed into wood, providing a secure and straightforward installation method. With a low profile depth of just 2.7 mm, the hinge sits flush against the glass surface, making it suitable for inset doors where external hardware must remain slim and unobtrusive.

Conventional hinges often require drilled fixings through glass, introducing stress points and increasing the risk of breakage. The Surface Hinge GW eliminates glass drilling entirely by using UV adhesive bonding, preserving glass strength while allowing a full 180° opening angle for unrestricted access

This hinge is commonly used in glass-fronted wooden cabinets, display units, and mirrored doors where a flat, externally mounted hinge design and wide opening range are required. Primer preparation is required to ensure reliable adhesive performance.
