Hinge selection starts with the complete opening: panel dimensions, glass build-up, support construction and intended door movement. Check the plate footprint, pivot clearance and glass cutout against the selected drawing. Material and finish should match the installation conditions. Foundry Queen enquiries can include a layout, quantities and finish schedule so that the proposed hinge, contact pads, mounting components and packaging scope can be identified together. Do not infer door capacity or compliance from a product photograph alone.
A hinge is part of the complete opening rather than an isolated decorative fitting. Start with the moving panel, fixed support and required swing. Glass-to-wall, glass-to-glass and gate arrangements create different interfaces even when the external finish looks similar. Foundry Queen enquiries should identify those interfaces before a particular hinge is selected. The range below groups thirteen reference configurations by plate profile, pivot arrangement and product code. Finish options stay with their associated configuration so that a black or polished example does not become a misleading extra product. Confirm the final drawing, material and supply scope for the version being ordered.
One hinge leaf grips a prepared glass panel through matching contact components. The other leaf may connect to a wall, another glass panel or an independent gate support. That difference controls the mounting details that need review. A wall plate needs a suitable supporting construction and compatible fixing arrangement. A glass-to-glass hinge needs correctly prepared interfaces on both panels. A gate hinge must also be coordinated with the surrounding fence or screen. Record the complete opening in one drawing so that the hinge position, panel edges and nearby fittings can be checked together.
Wall-mounted references include the square SHC-90LM, compact SHC-90LS family and T-plate SHC-90TM. Their mounting plates and glass-clamping leaves differ, so compare the selected drawings instead of assuming that the fixing positions match. Glass-to-glass references use padded clamping leaves on both sides of the pivot. The supporting fixed panel, its own restraint and the moving door need review as a complete arrangement. A fitting described by an angle does not by itself identify every installation dimension or establish that it can replace a different hinge.
The 90, 135 and 180 degree references help distinguish the intended junction between leaves or panels. They should be considered alongside the closed-door line and the full swing envelope. Confirm which angle the selected drawing describes. Check clearance at handles, seals, stops and adjacent glass during movement. A corner opening and an in-line opening can require different pivot positions even when both use rectangular plates. Do not select a hinge solely from a photograph taken at an open angle; the final mounting and closed configuration must be stated.
Most SHC references in this selection list 8 to 10 mm glass, while the listed PGH gate references and LS-GG-2 use an 8 to 12 mm reference range. The selected version, contact pads and glass build-up must be confirmed together. Obtain the exact hole and cutout drawing before fabrication. A nominal thickness range does not mean every glass type or construction is interchangeable. In particular, the SHC-90LM reference identifies tempered glass and a template for preparation. State the actual glass specification when requesting a configuration review.
A square base, compact right-angle plate and broad T-profile plate can put fixing positions in different locations. Measure the available support area and identify the substrate before selecting the hinge. Include edge clearances, access for tools and the position of joints or finishes on the supporting surface. Confirm the mounting components intended for that version. A hinge leaf that fits the glass may still have the wrong support interface. Keep the wall plate outline and the glass cutout on the same installation drawing so the two interfaces are not reviewed separately.
The PGH-SA, PGH-W90A, LS-GG-2, PGH-180A and PGH-RA references use cylindrical barrel arrangements. Some combine a mounting plate with a single padded glass clamp, while the PGH-180A reference connects two glass-clamping leaves. Their names and photographs help identify the family, but the final plate geometry, fixing pattern and required closing action still need confirmation. If a spring or controlled closing function is required, describe that requirement explicitly and confirm the selected mechanism. Do not infer a particular closing performance from the barrel appearance alone.
SHC wall and glass-mounted families use rectangular clamping plates around the pivot. Compare the SHC-90M and SHC-90S versions by drawing, then examine the SHC-135S and in-line SHC-180M or SHC-180S arrangements for angled or straight junctions. The compact SHC-90LS family includes a black reference as an option rather than a separate product page. Likewise, the black SHC-180SB reference stays with the SHC-180S family. Confirm any dimensional or component differences between those versions on the quotation before treating them as interchangeable.
The selected stainless steel grade should be stated in the order rather than left to a general product description. Several reference families list 304, 316, 316L or duplex 2205 options. Availability and the actual supplied grade need confirmation for the selected configuration. Identify whether the opening is indoors, outdoors or near a pool, and describe its cleaning and exposure conditions. Material choice is only one part of the assembly. Contact components, fasteners, finishes and adjoining materials also need to suit the intended environment.
Polished, satin, black, gold and white references can offer different appearance options within a family. The SHC-90LM source also lists named plated and brushed finishes. Confirm the finish process, colour reference and availability for the version being ordered. Where several fittings will be visible together, request a coordinated finish schedule and identify the parts that need to match. A finish photograph should support a selection discussion rather than replace a sample or approved specification. Changing the colour does not establish a different mounting geometry or door capacity.
Reference unit weights help identify a configuration and discuss packing, but they are not allowable door weights. The complete door arrangement depends on its dimensions, glass specification, hinge positions, support and other components. Specify the number of hinges and the intended opening conditions in the enquiry. Any capacity evidence or installation limit should relate to the selected configuration and complete arrangement. Avoid transferring a value from one product family to another simply because their plates look alike. Confirm the final requirements before the glass or support is fabricated.
Send the product code, panel dimensions, glass thickness and type, opening direction and closed-panel angle. Include the supporting wall or fixed-panel arrangement and show the hinge positions. Add the number of openings, required quantities, preferred material and finish, and delivery destination. If there are special closing, access or cleaning requirements, state them at the same time. A complete schedule makes it easier to identify what the quotation includes and which details still need a selected drawing. Keep revisions of the drawing clearly labelled so the ordered version remains traceable.
Coordinate the hinge with the handle, locks, seals, stops and nearby glass fittings. Check that those components can be installed and operated without interfering with the hinge movement. For a gate, include the latch and the supporting fence arrangement. For an enclosure, include the fixed-panel layout and contact clearances. Review the complete opening before ordering individual fittings. This category links each configuration to its own detail page so that the product image, technical reference and enquiry information remain together. Use the relevant page rather than mixing specifications across different models.
Before confirming an order, review the current drawing, material grade, finish, contact components, mounting parts and packing scope. Keep the product code with the drawing and note any finish or configuration options that were agreed. Check the final glass preparation before fabrication and ensure that the installation information relates to the supplied version. Foundry Queen can organise the product enquiry around these details without treating an individual photograph as evidence for a complete installed system. Send the opening schedule and required quantity through the contact page to begin that review.

Glass hinges must be selected by their actual connection and movement. Wall-mounted hinges, glass-to-glass hinges and gate hinge forms belong to different installation arrangements. Confirm the model-specific glass preparation and mounting interface before considering finish or visual appearance.
A useful glass hinges enquiry identifies the selected item, its installation or manufacturing context, and the features that must match adjacent parts. Record units and drawing revisions. Where several variants are required, give each one a separate schedule line so that a quotation cannot silently substitute a different configuration.
Compare the hinge body, pivot location and glass preparation with the approved drawing. Any application or load requirement needs evidence for the exact offered configuration rather than a claim transferred from another hinge.
When comparing a glass hinges manufacturer, ask how the proposed item will be made and which features will be verified before dispatch. Review evidence for the actual product and order, including any subcontracted operations that affect the agreed supply. A supplier should identify exactly what the quotation includes, what remains open for confirmation and which documents will accompany the goods. Discuss these points with Foundry Queen against the selected drawing and item schedule.
Request relevant factory information for the proposed production route rather than relying on unrelated workshop photographs or general capacity statements. Agree the critical features, inspection method, sampling scope and required records before approval. Keep material identification separate from surface appearance. If a sample or trial is part of the order, define what will be examined, which drawing revision applies and how discrepancies will be resolved before repeat production.
The glass hinges price depends on hinge configuration, machining complexity, finish, supplied inserts and required order quantity. Compare quotations on the same drawing revision and supplied condition. Separate one-time tooling or setup charges from recurring component costs, and identify any optional items independently. A lower unit figure is not a complete comparison when machining, accessories, inspection, packaging or transport responsibilities differ. Ask for a written quotation stating the currency, quantity basis, validity and delivery terms; no fixed price is implied by this guide.
For an overseas order, ask the exporter to confirm destination requirements, package identification and the agreed delivery terms. Specify protection for the functional surfaces and interfaces listed in the product schedule. Keep different references identifiable after unpacking. Confirm which commercial and technical documents belong to the shipment and how any split deliveries will be recorded. Export packing should be defined for the actual parts and transport route rather than assumed from a catalogue image.
Follow the relevant category or product below and keep its reference with the enquiry. Compare the actual connection and supplied contents; these links identify different options rather than equivalent replacements.
Contact Foundry Queen with the drawing or selected reference, quantities, required material and finish, the delivery destination and any open technical points. Attach the acceptance requirements and the required supply scope. Retain the agreed quotation, drawings and inspection schedule together so that purchasing, receipt and later repeat orders refer to the same defined product.
