View Technical References

Product Overview

The 3182T Standard-Duty Adjustable Top Mount Pivot Hinge is designed for frameless shower door installations where a top-mounted pivot configuration is required. Featuring a beveled-edge profile and solid brass construction, this hinge installs at the top of the door and works in conjunction with a corresponding bottom pivot to support smooth, controlled door operation.

This top mount pivot hinge includes a self-centering mechanism that engages when the door is within approximately 15 degrees of the closed position, helping guide the door to a consistent closed alignment while maintaining a refined, beveled appearance.

• Self-centering action within 15 degrees of the closed position
