Bottom hinge pin for wire shelves Tefcold SpareParts TC3810700082

A pin bottom hinge provides a fixed pivot point for wire shelving in professional catering cupboards and refrigerated units. The hinge holds the wire shelf at its base, allowing the shelf to swing open and closed while remaining securely attached to the cabinet frame. This pivot design distributes the load evenly across the wire grid, preventing sagging and ensuring smooth movement under the weight of stored ingredients and equipment.

The hinge consists of a metal pin that slots through the wire grid at the shelf's lowest horizontal bar. A corresponding socket or bracket is mounted to the cabinet's interior side wall. When the shelf is lifted into place, the pin engages the socket, creating a stable yet movable joint. This construction allows the shelf to be removed quickly for cleaning or reconfiguration without tools, while keeping it firmly in position during daily use.

To fit the hinge, the operator aligns the wire shelf's bottom bar with the socket on the cabinet wall. The pin is then pressed into the socket until it clicks into place. Once installed, the shelf can be opened and closed repeatedly without loosening or misalignment. The hinge itself requires no adjustment or lubrication; its simple metal-to-metal contact ensures consistent performance over time.

Made from corrosion-resistant metal, the hinge withstands the humid environment of professional kitchens and refrigerated storage. Its compact size and unobtrusive profile keep the shelf's usable space clear, allowing trays and containers to slide freely across the wire grid.

This hinge is a direct replacement for Tefcold wire shelving systems used in under-counter refrigerators, display cabinets and dry storage units.
