Southco, Inc., a global leader in engineered access solutions, has refreshed its successful C6 Detent Hinge series with an improved design that provides increased corrosion resistance for applications in the medical industry that require doors and panels to be held securely at predetermined angles. Constructed of robust plastic and stainless steel, the new C6 Detent Hinge features contemporary styling and enhanced functionality without sacrificing cycle life.
