Wholesale Standard Shower Door Hinges FAQ
How does the standard range differ from adjustable models?
Both LOIRE Standard and Adjustable Shower Hinges use a spring mechanism to help the door close. The main difference is that adjustable models allow you to fine-tune the door’s position when closed, helping achieve the desired alignment. When choosing between the two, compare the glass thickness, door weight capacity and glass cutout requirements for the specific model.
Where can I check the glass cutout?
Contact Loire with the exact hinge model code to request the matching glass cutout drawing. If a drawing is available under Technical Files on the product page, check that it matches your model. Confirm the cutout shape, hole positions, and dimensions before ordering the glass.
Should I choose wall-to-glass or glass-to-glass shower hinges?
Choose a wall-to-glass hinge when the door attaches to a wall, and a glass-to-glass hinge when it attaches to a fixed glass panel. The supporting wall or panel must suit the hinge and door load. Share your enclosure layout, door dimensions, and glass details so the mounting arrangement can be reviewed before ordering.
Is the hinge’s installation angle the same as its opening angle?
No. For a glass-to-glass hinge, the installation angle describes the relationship between the closed door and the fixed panel. The opening angle describes how far the door can swing. Check the installation angle, inward and outward movement, and spring-return range separately. Match these details to the selected model’s drawing.
Can the same shower hinge fit different glass thicknesses?
Only if the selected model is specified for those thicknesses. Check its supported glass range and the required gaskets. A hinge approved for one glass thickness is not automatically suitable for another. Include your glass thickness, door dimensions, and door weight when asking Loire to review a hinge for your project.
How do I know whether two hinges are enough for my shower door?
Two hinges may be sufficient if the door’s total weight and width are within the selected model’s rated limits for a two-hinge installation. Consider the glass thickness and hinge mounting requirements as well. For wider or heavier doors, a heavy-duty model or a different hinge arrangement may be needed. Contact LOIRE with your door dimensions and weight for help selecting the right hinge configuration.
Do standard spring shower hinges provide hydraulic soft closing?
Spring return and hydraulic damping serve different purposes. Spring action helps return the door toward its closed position, while damping slows its movement. Do not assume that a standard spring hinge includes hydraulic soft closing. If your project requires damped closing, compare Loire’s Hydraulic Shower Hinges and confirm the selected model’s closing behavior.
Can I replace an existing shower hinge without replacing the glass?
You may be able to keep the glass if the replacement hinge matches the existing cutout and installation requirements. Compare the cutout dimensions, glass thickness, mounting position, door clearance, and load limits. A similar appearance does not confirm compatibility. Provide the existing hinge code, photos, and measured cutout details before choosing a replacement.
Which finishes are available for standard shower hinges?
Available finishes vary by model. For example, the LOIRE L-2110 standard shower hinge is available in Brushed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Matte Black, Satin Brass and other finishes. Please contact us to confirm the available options for your selected model and order quantity. If you need to match the hinges with handles or glass clamps, share your preferred finish or reference sample so we can help coordinate the appearance.
Can Loire supply standard shower hinges for bulk or OEM orders?
Yes. Loire supports OEM projects based on drawings, samples, and product requirements. Customization can cover materials, finishes, dimensions, branding, and packaging, subject to technical review. For a quotation, send the model code or drawing, glass details, mounting layout, finish, and quantity. Confirm the order quantity, sample requirements, and lead time during the quotation process.
