Butt hinge with ball bearing 32x120mm ZAW TOC 32S

Butt hinge with ball bearing 32x120mm ZAW TOC 32S is a machined hinge designed for durable pivoting of doors, gates and cabinets. With overall dimensions of 32x120 mm and an integrated ball bearing, it provides smooth rotational movement and reduced friction. The hinge is suitable for both timber and metal mounting where a compact and reliable pivot point is required.

Advantages

The machined construction and built-in ball bearing deliver low friction and consistent movement across repeated cycles. Its compact 32x120 mm form factor allows installation in confined frame and door profiles while still providing adequate load distribution. The hinge's metal finish resists wear from continuous use and maintains alignment over time, reducing sagging and noise.

Suitable for

• Interior and exterior doors in residential or light commercial buildings
• Metal or timber cabinets and storage units requiring smooth opening
• Gates and access panels with limited hinge recess space
• Replacement of worn butt hinges when improved rotation is needed

When it may not be suitable

This hinge is intended for typical door and cabinet installations and is not specified for heavy industrial loads or very large entrance doors where specialized heavy-duty hinges or pivot systems are required. It also may not be appropriate where fire-rated, tamper-proof, or concealed hinge solutions are mandated by local codes.

Key specifications

• Overall size: 32 x 120 mm
• Type: butt hinge with integrated ball bearing
• Material: machined metal construction (surface finish as supplied)
• Function: provides reduced friction and smooth rotational movement
• Mounting: suitable for timber and metal mounting

How to use

Position the hinge leaves on the door and frame or mating surfaces, ensuring alignment and appropriate recessing if required. Mark and drill pilot holes for screws appropriate to the substrate and fasten the hinge securely. Check rotation after installation and adjust screw tightness to achieve smooth operation without excessive play. Periodic inspection and light lubrication at the bearing area will help maintain optimal movement.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 32 x 120 mm dimensions fit the door/frame profile and recess depth.
• Verify the hinge material and finish are suitable for the intended environment (interior, exterior, humid conditions).
• Ensure load capacity and number of hinges per door meet the weight and usage frequency.
• Check compatibility with existing screws or mounting hardware; obtain appropriate fasteners for timber or metal.

Usage recommendations

For consistent, long-term performance install two or more hinges per door according to door height and weight, use corrosion-appropriate fasteners for outdoor or humid environments, and perform occasional lubrication and inspection to preserve smooth operation.
