Mila’s new Secured by Design accredited ProSecure Pace Security hinge is all about making life quicker and easier for fabricators and installers.
Fitted under test conditions in less than 40 seconds, it has the potential to deliver significant and valuable time savings on even the busiest fabrication lines.
The ‘pace’ comes from the fact that the new ProSecure Pace uses Mila’s Glider technology to slide straight onto the frame in one complete piece.
Mila says the ProSecure Pace doesn’t just achieve a fast precision fit once, but also lends itself to consistent repeatability even in factory conditions. It also means that the door sash can easily be lifted on and off the frame without any risk of scratches or foil rips on the profile.
Technical Director Strafford Cooke explained: “We worked closely with fabricators on the design and development of this new hinge so that it didn’t just match the fitting time of our ground-breaking and still exceptionally popular ProSecure hinge, but has the potential to be even quicker – no matter how many they fit in a day.
“It has all the reassuring Mila guarantees on quality and durability, along with some clever design innovations. For instance, the new ProSecure Pace features a patented, new, easy-fit auto-locking hinge cover, which prevents access to the fixing screws and locks the steel hinge pin in place - while at the same time doing away with the need for security screws.
“For +/-5mm lateral adjustment onsite, RH or LH fitting, or to remove the pin for fitting in tight reveals, the cover can be released using a simple push button, which is accessible only when the door is open.”
The new Mila ProSecure Pace hinge comes with a 25-year guarantee on the mechanical operation and up to a 10-year guarantee on the finish. It is available in 14 popular plated and painted finishes, including satin, chrome, white, black, gold, anthracite grey and heritage black. All the finishes are supplied complete with Mila’s static-cling TechTape to keep the hinge pristine during fixing and fitting.
