TECTUS®: The concealed hinge you don't need to hide.
Made in Germany, TECTUS® is the most comprehensive concealed hinge system for premium flush doors. Easily adjustable in 3-Dimensions, Simonswerk's TECTUS® hinges bring an unparalleled level of performance, precision and control over what has previously been a difficult detail to build and maintain.
Easy on the eyes
For architects and designers choosing TECTUS® can make the difference between realizing your vision and having it remain just a vision. Designers spend time detailing an "invisible" door, they may go through endless rounds of picking veneer to match the grain exactly, and simply want to keep clean and dead-even gaps around their door panels. Because TECTUS® is adjustable in 3 dimensions large and heavy doors can be installed quickly, saving money for the millworker and installer and insuring it all looks sharp in the end. In reality, for detail-driven designers, nothing is ever really invisible. So, when you open that door, at the very least, the hinge better match the finish of the hardware on the rest of the project.
Invisible, but not unsightly
Since their introduction in North America we have seen the TECTUS® hinge go from being a welcome technologically superior substitute for other "invisible" hinges when the odd concealed door was detailed, to one that is being throughout a project's interior and exterior doors. This acceptance has grown from a realization by contractor, millworker and architect alike of the significant cost savings that an adjustable hinge can bring to the project.

Easy to install
For millworkers and contractors who have used non-adjustable invisible hinges in the past and have wrestled with hanging these doors, especially heavier ones, TECTUS® concealed hinges will be a revelation. With a hex key, you can tweak the door leaf into perfect alignment and walk away knowing that when the building settles you won't need to return to take the door off and take a planer to it, or worse. Installing TECTUS® hinges is straight-forward. Simonswerk offers a complete suite of milling frames and templates. Simonswerk has re-engineered the TECTUS® TE 340 3D, TE 540 3D, and TE 640 3D so that the frame and door preparations are the same, simplifying installation further. Applicable for wood, steel and aluminum frames, TECTUS® can be used throughout a project.
