In addition to pull-down hinges, we also offer an array of flap hinges and stays made by Hettich. When used in conjunction with a hinge, a flap stay holds the flap or desk top in a horizontal position. By tightening the screws, you can control friction and how fast the flap drops as a result. Hettich's flap hinge is designed for overlay installations in terms of fold-down flaps on desks and drawers. This hinge allows the front flap to fold down and create a horizontal writing surface.
