  • Geneva 245 Series 135° Pony Wall Mount Hinges are used in conjunction with the Geneva 135° Glass-to-Glass hinge for use with 135° pony wall applications. Previously, the tile or marble had to be cut to allow the wall mount hinge to be recessed. That adjustment aligns the pivot points between both hinges. To eliminate this time consuming step, CRL has produced these modified wall mount hinges with a shortened center block (containing only one centering spring), and a small back plate (with only two mounting holes). This allows the hinge to be mounted to the surface of the tile or marble, and have its pivot point match up with the glass-to-glass hinge pivot point above. Geneva Hinges are self-centering, and contain a reversible 5° Pivot Pin. In addition, Custom Pivot Pins are available to accommodate "off angle" installations. Made of solid brass with all moving parts (pins and springs) in stainless steel.

Glass Cutout:

The cutout for the hinge allows some adjustment in door position after installation. The positioning of the cutout is subjective, but tempering facilities have minimum distances from the end of the glass to the notch. It is important that the hinge is centered in the cutout for the initial installation to have maxium adjustiability.

Maintenance Guidelines:

• Our hinges are greased at the factory for quiet and trouble-free operation. If there is any squeaking that occurs after installation, put a drop of "3 in 1 Oil" (also known as "household oil") on the white nylon washer that the hinge body pivots on. This washer is the component that acts as a buffer, so the body of the hinge doesn't pivot directly on the brass center block. This solution doesn't require the disassembly of the hinge.
Note: Do not use spray lubricant on these hinges. If the hinge has been disassembled, upon re-assembly, use white lithium grease to lubricate the interior mechanism.

Never use an abrasive cleaner on the hardware. Many of the components are coated with a clear lacquer that will be irreparably damaged if subjected to harsh, abrasive chemicals. Advise your customer that drying the hardware with a clean, soft towel on a daily basis is the best way to maintain the hardware. If mineral deposits build-up, mix a couple of drops of a mild liquid soap (such as Ivory or a similar product) into a cup of warm water. Using a soft, non-abrasive cloth, clean the hardware. Rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water and dry.
