The RV kitchen – a space where efficiency, practicality, and design must harmoniously intertwine. 

Despite the advent of electric motion controls, the relevance of mechanical motion control in today's technologically advanced world cannot be understated. 

If there’s one thing that commercial and restaurant kitchen appliances need to be, it’s durable. Ovens, grills, sinks, freezers, and microwaves all have to stand up to constant, repeated use. 

Hey, kitchen appliance designer! We know you're always looking for ways to improve the function and aesthetic of your products. Consider this trend in hardware that has huge potential: heavy-duty hidden hinges. 

It’s a pretty well-established fact that industry professionals tend to neglect themselves when it comes to their crafts.

Whether you’re designing a kitchen appliance, a bar countertop, or ergonomic office furniture, incorporating the right motion control mechanism lends functionality, safety, and elegance to your product.

Engineers and designers often ponder over what type of hinges to use on their products. 

Have you ever looked at your grill design and thought, “I wish this lid wasn’t so heavy and didn’t slam whenever I let go?” 

So your next design – be it a dishwasher, smoker, tanning bed, refrigerator, or another piece of equipment – needs the support and reliability of heavy duty industrial hinges. You’re working on your hinge design calculations and material specs, and things are getting complicated.
