L E Johnson 1703PPK2 Bi-fold Shock Absorbing Hinge 10 Pack

Product Description

The L E JOHNSON 1703PPK2 is a spring-loaded, flat-back shock absorbing hinge designed for bi-fold door applications. It automatically spaces hinged doors and compensates for warped door panels by flexing under load rather than transferring stress to the door or frame. When a door is opened or closed sharply, the spring mechanism absorbs the impact, reducing wear on the door, hardware, and jamb. This hinge fits doors up to 24 inches wide and weighing up to 40 pounds. The yellow zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in typical interior environments. Each pack contains 10 hinges. Installation is handled by carpenters, finish tradespeople, or experienced DIYers during new construction or hardware replacement.

This hinge is suited for residential and light commercial bi-fold door installations, including closet doors, laundry room doors, and utility room partitions. It is especially useful where door alignment is inconsistent due to seasonal wood movement or framing tolerances. The spring-loaded flat back design allows it to self-adjust, making it a practical replacement or upgrade over standard fixed bi-fold hinges. Compatible door weight and width limits make it appropriate for standard interior hollow-core and lightweight solid-core bi-fold panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or finish tradespeople using standard hand tools. Before replacing existing hinges, remove the door panel from the track and relieve any tension on the existing hardware. Follow the door manufacturer's specified hinge placement to maintain proper alignment. Ensure the door panel weight and width fall within the rated limits of 40 pounds and 24 inches before installation.
