Imagine restoring a piece that holds deep sentimental value — a hope chest your grandparents gave as a wedding gift or a jukebox that was the centerpiece of a 1960s diner. 

These are more than projects. These are attempts at preserving memories and ensuring they can be enjoyed for years to come. With the 8644 spring assist hinge, you don’t have to compromise between historical accuracy and modern functionality. This hinge embodies the perfect blend of the past and the present.

For over 60 years, the 8644 Lift Assist Hinge has been a cornerstone of furniture restoration and design. Since its introduction, this versatile hinge has helped breathe new life into treasured heirlooms.

The smallest details can make the biggest impact on furniture design. The type of hinges and hardware you choose can bring sophistication to your furniture. 

Knife hinges offer a perfect balance of sleek aesthetics and practical performance. These specialized furniture hinges are particularly suited for applications where a semi-concealed look is desired, making them an excellent choice for high-end furniture design.

For commercial furniture designers, functionality is just as important as aesthetics. 

Lift assists for bar and countertop openings are crucial in modern taverns, kitchens, and restaurants. While they add aesthetic appeal, their main value lies in functionality.

Installing a heavy-duty industrial hinge sounds like a daunting task. Whatever the project is, if the hinge is not designed or installed properly, can lead to safety concerns and operational inefficiencies.

Consider an upscale restaurant on a busy Saturday evening.

Inspecting several high-end refrigerators quickly reveals the widespread use of hidden hinges in premium models. As the name suggests, these hinges are invisible to the casual glance and therefore create a more seamless look in the kitchen.

You have a beautiful kitchen design in mind, complete with a folding countertop. 

But have you considered the weight of this addition? 

When it comes to folding countertop projects, precision is key. The weight and size of the countertop being lifted can greatly affect the counterbalance of the motion control system, and guessing or estimating can lead to serious problems. 

“Hold on, let me come around the counter to help you.”

Sleek. 

Spacious.

Bright.

Clean.
