Hole Dimensioning Guidelines
Secondary operation

Most of the holes we punch are done as a secondary operation and are done one leaf at a time. The dimensioning guidelines shown at right should be used.

If this scheme of dimensioning will not work for your application, we can suggest other methods to meet your needs.

Hole Dimensioning Guidelines
Primary operation

In some circumstances (most noteably: high volume) the holes are punched as a primary operation, meaning they are punched as the hinge is being manufactured. In such cases the guidelines shown at right should be used.

Example of Hole Patterns

Multiple sets of dimensions and hole centers may be needed, as shown in this example.
