Q: What are the components of heavy duty stainless steel hinges?

A: Hinge Leaf
The leaf is the plate that protrudes laterally from the knuckle or barrel. It is screwed, welded, or glued to the fixed or moving body. Leafs for heavy duty stainless steel hinges can take various shapes to fit a door's needs or process. They come with or without holes and are attached using screws or bolts.
Hinge Barrel or Knuckles
The barrel or knuckles are machined into the sides of the leafs by bending the edges and are the weight-bearing portion of a heavy duty stainless steel hinge. The leafs are connected when a pin is inserted through the knuckles from each leaf. Once secured, the leafs can rotate around the knuckles.
Hinge Pin
The pin is a rod or shaft that holds the leafs together and passes through the knuckles. Also known as a pintle, it has a narrow cylindrical shape to interlock the leafs and keep them connected. It is a simple and practical method for keeping the leafs together and assisting in their rotation.
Holes in the leafs are where screws or bolts are inserted to attach the hinge to a door. The hinge or revolute joint allows rotation along one axis between the leafs. It restricts the rotational ability of a hinge.

Q: Is heavy duty stainless steel hinge recyclable?

A: Yes. A significant environmental benefit brought about by the use of stainless steel hinges lies in its recyclability feature. After being used for some time these objects could either be collected and reprocessed into new items or parts thus reducing demand for raw materials obtained from virgin sources. In other words adopting such an approach creates a win-win situation where both natural resources are conserved while at the same time minimizing pollution caused by dumping them elsewhere after use.
