In compliance with accessibility regulations, it allows doors weighing up to 200 kg to be opened with a pressure force of just 2.5 kg (25N) and safely closed automatically after more than five seconds. The L-leaf design also improves user mobility by enlarging door openings. The hinges are made of recyclable stainless steel using an investment casting process. “An innovative contribution to improving the quality of life of people with and without impairments,” the jury said.
