End Play

The amount of axial movement between the leaves is called end play. There is a slight motion along the axis of the pin between the hinge leaves. This motion is necessary to allow the leaves to rotate without binding. It can be controlled by the knuckle gap.

For over 50 years, at Marlboro Manufacturing, we have been making hinges for all kinds of applications. We can modify the end play on our hinges to meet your needs.

We stock a large inventory of available hinges to ensure quick shipping on your order. If we do not carry the hinge you need, we are glad to custom make it for you. This flexibility and guarantee of the right product delivered quickly, has made us a domestic and international favorite.
