Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying, "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." At Mills&Nebraska not only are we fans of good ol' Ben we also support our teams learning new things. Recently we had a hinge class. Yes, a hinge class! Our in house expert, John, conducted the class and introduced at least a dozen different types of hinges and each of their functions. Some hinges are heavy duty and you can feel it when picking them up. Others are lighter in weight and function. 

Certain criteria determines which hinge will be used in each project. Depending upon the industry will also determine the type of hinge needed - hospitals have different needs than schools so they do not use or require the same hinge. Based upon the type of hinge also determines how it will be installed - on the right or on the left.

The class was very informative and hands on. Participants got to feel the weights of the different hinges and even install some hinges on mini sized "doors." We took some pictures so you too can have a peak at what we do to be a benefit to our customers. We would also like to give a shout out to our partner, Assa Abloy, for providing the materials used in this class.
