Custom OEM hinge manufacturer since 1939
Custom OEM Hinges Built to Your Spec
We design and build OEM hinges to your drawing, from 5,000 to 5,000,000+ parts. Design, tooling, stamping and assembly happen under one roof in Ohio.
- Concealed, pivot, four-bar, friction, detent and continuous hinges
- Prototypes built and cycle-life tested before tooling is cut
- Volumes from 5,000 to 5,000,000+ with no catalog minimums
250,000+ motion control components shipped every week from Mansfield, Ohio

Why OEMs source their hinges from Mansfield
Engineered for your application
We do not sell from a catalog. Each hinge is designed around your load, motion arc, space envelope and target cost.
Proven before tooling is cut
We build prototypes in-house and run cycle-life, torque and hold-at-angle testing so the design is validated first.
One supplier, concept to shipment
Design, tooling, stamping, spring making, assembly, inspection and packaging all happen in our Ohio plant.
Any program volume
Runs go from 5,000 to 5,000,000+ parts. There are no catalog minimum orders because nothing is stock hardware.
Supplier transitions handled
If your current hinge supplier ends the program, we transfer and qualify tooling while holding form, fit and function.
Made in Mansfield, Ohio
Domestic production since 1939, with global sourcing support when a program calls for it.
OEM hinges engineered for your product
A cookie-cutter hinge rarely gives OEMs the feel, fit and unit cost they need. Every Mansfield hinge is designed for one application, one motion path and one budget, so your product does not have to be redesigned around stock hardware.
Our engineers apply design patterns built up since 1939, then prototype and test in-house before tooling. You work with one team from first concept through packaged, delivered parts.
- Concealed hinges for cabinet doors and appliance casework
- Pivot, continuous (piano) and four-bar hinges
- Detent hinges that hold set angles and friction hinges that hold anywhere
- Counterbalance and lift-assist hinges with custom torque curves
- Soft-close, damped-motion and closure mechanisms, lid stays and door stays
- Cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, aluminum, spring steel and specialty alloys
- Progressive die and single-stage stamping, sheet metal fabrication, spring making, assembly
- Program volumes from 5,000 to 5,000,000+ components
What happens after you send your RFQ
An engineer reviews your specs
Share prints, a sample or a sketch, plus the load, motion, cycle life and space you must work within.
You get a program quote
Pricing is built from design complexity, materials, tolerances, volume and tooling needs for your part.
We prototype, test and produce
Approved designs move through in-house prototyping and testing, tool qualification, then production and delivery.
Frequently asked questions
How are OEM hinges priced?
Each program is quoted on its own. Price depends on design complexity, materials, tolerances, production volume and tooling requirements. Tooling, prototyping and engineering support are quoted as part of the program.
Is there a minimum order?
No. We do not apply catalog minimums because every part is custom engineered. Programs run from 5,000 to 5,000,000+ components.
Do you sell standard hinges from stock?
No. We do not sell off-the-shelf catalog hardware, and we do not supply repair or replacement parts to homeowners. We design and build hinges to OEM specification.
Can you take over a hinge our current supplier dropped?
Yes. We handle production transitions, including tooling transfer and qualification, first-article inspection and production validation against the original specification, while keeping form, fit and function.
Can you prove the design before we commit to tooling?
Yes. We build prototypes in-house and run cycle-life, torque, hold-at-angle and environmental testing, so changes can be made before tooling is cut.
Where do you manufacture and ship?
Parts are made at our plant at 1776 Harrington Memorial Road, Mansfield, Ohio, and shipped to OEM customers across North America, Europe and Asia. We also support offshore sourcing through global partnerships.
