MICROMASTER hinges feature an ingenious and unique adjustment principle which is protected by worldwide patents.
The result is always a perfect fit in record time
- Full 3D adjustment
- Panels are adjusted under full load without any support or lifting equipment
- A single person can quickly and easily precision adjust even the largest panels.
- Self-locking adjustment screws can be turned with minimum force to align any size panel in a totally controlled process by a fraction of a millimeter.
- No special tools required
- It is physically impossible for any of the adjustments to be affected by even the heaviest panels.
- no creep or slipping possible.
Micromaster Adjustment Range
MFH 200 Hinge/Panel Adjustment
The MFH 200 Micromaster hinge has been designed to allow easy adjustment of a hinged panel without the need to support the weight of the panel, thus allowing one person to adjust the panel without the need of any lifting device simply by turning the adjuster screws.
The hinged panel “side to side” and “in and out” adjustment of the hinge is obtained by adjusting the length of the long and short adjustable linkages, while the height is adjusted separately via the height adjustment arm. It is recommended that the MFH300 Hinge is set to its default or mid-adjustment range prior to fitting the panel; this should enable the hinged panel to be closed to determine which if any adjustment is required.
Because the geometry of the “Micromaster Hinge” is complex, adjusting the length of either one of the two adjustable linkages has an effect on both the sideways location and the in and out position of the hinged panel. The table below gives the approximate number of turns either clockwise or anti-clockwise on both linkages to affect a change in either one of the “side to side” or “in and out” adjustments as it is easier to adjust in one direction at a time ie. Correct the “side to side” position prior to adjusting the “in and out” rather than trying to achieve a compound adjustment all in one adjustment.
The two adjustable linkages have a primary purpose. The short adjustable linkage is predominantly used to adjust the hinge panel from side to side, by turning the adjuster screw clockwise this shortens the length of the adjustable linkage. One turn of the adjuster screw equals two millimetres in length. If only a small adjustment on the “side to side” position is required then it is recommended that this short adjustable linkage is adjusted by itself. Please note that one half turn to shorten the short adjuster linkage will move the hinged panel approximately 4mm away from the frame and also approximately 2mm outward, conversely if it is turned one half turn to lengthen it the panel will move approximately 4mm toward the frame and approximately 2mm inwards.
The long adjustable linkage is primarily used to govern the in and out position of the hinged panel, if this is adjusted it affects both the in and out and side to side position similarly thus forcing the short adjuster to be adjusted to correct the “side to side” position. If the long adjustable linkage is shortened by approximately one half turn the panel will move approximately 1.5mm outward as well as 1.5mm away from the frame, conversely if it is lengthened by one half turn the hinged panel will move approximately 1.5mm inward as well as 1.5mm toward the frame.

Conversely if it is turned one turn anti-clockwise then the panel will move approximately 4mm toward the frame and approximately 2mm inwards.
The long adjustable linkage is primarily used to govern the in and out position of the hinged panel. When this is adjusted it affects both the in and out and side to side position similarly thus forcing the short adjuster to be adjusted to correct the “side to side” position.
If the long adjustable linkage is shortened by approximately one turn of the screw in a clockwise direction then the panel will move approximately 1.5mm outward as well as 1.5mm away from the frame. Conversely if it is lengthened by turning the adjuster screw anti-clockwise the hinged panel will move approximately 1.5mm inward as well as 1.5mm toward the frame.
