POLARIS 130 soft close hinges

SOFT CLOSE hydraulic POOL FENCE HINGE SERIES.  130 series to replace the Fethers Bestko applause hinges

The POLARIS 130 hydraulic soft close hinges is a state-of-the-art product unrivaled in design, style, and safety. As a glass pool fence hinge it is the safest and most reliable hinge in the industry. Polaris 130 complies with the stringent Australian Standards AS 1926 and AS 2820.

Additionally, the POLARIS 130 series Soft Close Hinge was awarded a prestigious Australian International Design Mark Award™. Presented by Standards Australia, The Australian International Design Mark Awards™ is Australia’s premium design assessment program. 

The Polaris 130 series was designed with the specific intention to replace the troublesome Bestko hinges. Because we were a previous supplier of the Bestko hinges, we have had many pairs returned due to loss of hydraulic fluid. The loss of fluid caused door closing speed and seizing issues. We have found the Polaris 130 series to be the ideal Bestko hinge replacements in Australia as they fit the  Bestko Cutout. As a result they simply bolt straight on and therefore can be used without replacing any glass.
