Well, 1984 was a while back now but the Triple E Hinge remains as popular as ever. It was specially designed for the theatre market and resolves many familiar problems for the theatre carpenter. It has a sturdy pin that forms a better fit and can be ‘knocked’ in or out. Offset fixing holes help to prevent timber splitting, and a centrally located\u003Cbr>square hole, to take the head of a 6 mm coach bolt, allows immense strength for fixing. Notched sides allow for fixing near awkward timber joins. Each hinge comes complete with a pin. Pins are also sold separately. but only in 3 1⁄2” size.
