CRL Introduces Hinge Enhancements

 

decorative

CRL launched new Trento Hinge enhancements designed to improve installation, performance and aesthetics. The Trento family of glass shower hinges now includes an adjustability mechanism and short back plate options.

Enhanced adjustability

The Easy Adjust Mechanism allows glaziers to fine-tune hinge positioning by up to 45 degrees, making it easier to achieve exact door alignment. The simple adjustment process saves valuable installation time while delivering a professional, precise fit. To adjust the hinge, installers loosen two set screws, position the door to the desired closing angle, and retighten the screws to permanently secure the setting.

Short back plate

For projects that prioritize a clean, sleek aesthetic or designs that require a compact hinge to secure the shower door to the wall, Trento is now available with an optional short back plate. Unlike standard back plates that match the dimensions of the hinge, the new back plate option is 31 percent smaller than the original Trento design, covering less surface area. Despite its reduced size, the small back plate is just as strong as a full-size back plate, supporting glass doors up to 150-pounds and 40-inches wide.

Featuring sharp edges, a narrow hinge gap, and an attractive rectangular center block, CRL’s Trento shower hinge delivers smooth, satisfying, long-lasting performance. Trento is the next evolution in traditional shower hinges, modernized for today’s most demanding shower applications, with improved aesthetics by concealing the mounting screws.

The new Trento enhancements, and all of the company’s hardware for glass shower enclosures, are covered by CRL’s benchmark-setting limited lifetime warranty. The new warranty underscores the company’s unparalleled craftsmanship and ongoing commitment to exceptional performance, durability, and long-term reliability.

The new Trento Hinge is available in five attractive finishes: Brushed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Matte Black, and Satin Brass. To see the Trento Hinge up close, visit: Trento Hinge
