\"Introducing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Master hinge maker Cooke Brothers has introduced Loadmaster Plus<\/a>, a new range of architectural hinges that are specifically engineered for high-performance doors that need hinges with additional strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity up to 200kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed in response to demand from specifiers working on larger, heavier doors in high-traffic environments, Loadmaster Plus retains the core features of the original Loadmaster but steps up the performance with a 4mm-thick hinge leaf, stainless steel washer, and a beefed-up barrel design. The result is an even more robust hinge that offers superior load-bearing capacity and enhanced stability for doors weighing up to 200kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the original Loadmaster<\/a> range, Loadmaster Plus<\/a> is tested to EN1935:2002 Grade 14 with independent testing up to 200kg, is Certifire approved, and comes with Cooke Brothers\u2019 25-year guarantee. It is available in both fixed pin and lift-off options, with a wide choice of finishes and types, including reduced-ligature, dog bolt, and conductor hinge models as special options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLoadmaster has been a mainstay of our hinge range for years, but some projects simply demand more,\u201d says Tim Cooke, Managing Director at Cooke Brothers. \u201cLoadmaster Plus gives specifiers the extra strength and stability they need for bigger, heavier doors while maintaining full compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loadmaster Plus<\/a> is available now and is already attracting interest from architects, OEMs, and architectural ironmongers working on demanding projects in healthcare, education, commercial, and public sector buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
