What’s the Difference Between Hydraulic & Mechanical Hinge Types?
The difference between the two types defines how your door closes:
Hydraulic (soft-closing) type: Soft-closing; the door specifically slows down in the hydraulic zone.
Mechanical (self-closing) type: Self-closing; closing speed remains mostly average from swing to latch.
Choosing The Right Hinge Type
Scenarios where hydraulic & mechanical hinges are needed:
Hydraulic: Room is mildly windy & you don’t want your door constantly slamming. Examples: Storefront , luxury apartment, high-end villa.
Mechanical: Latching & self-closing are the only priority. No special speed adjustment needed; rapid temperature/humidity changes like outdoor environment. Examples: Five-star hotel.
Why Should I Use A Closer Hinge?
Our hinges are tested & proven. Over 1,000,000 cycles tested to provide the most durable hinge on the market, with over 20,000 installed. While there are other types of spring loaded & self closing hinges, Waterson is the only one that meets ADA requirements for pressure, speed, & latching, ensuring your door closes smoothly & safely, every time. Fewer pieces to install = less labor & lower total cost. Waterson Hinges are aesthetically appealing & less cluttered. Easier to install than concealed pivots & closers.
