* 4 series × 3 Modules = 12 models; "S" in the code is the shared stored-torque mechanism, and W concealed wiring is optional. The D series features the A-type Dual-Stage Gear (+) flagship pivot; K / M / R share the modular pivot platform with A / B configuration confirmed per project spec. See each series page for full specs and installation.
Model Naming
SERIES CODE + FUNCTION MODULE = MODELEvery model = series code + function module. KHSW is the K series (K = King · universal fit) hinge with H hydraulic damping, S stored torque and the W hidden-wiring version — modular naming that maps function to application at a glance.
Module Definitions
MODULAR PIVOT-CORE ARCHITECTURE FOR D / K / M / R HINGE SYSTEMS · W · H · T · L · S · +TS With Safety Pin Device
The pure-mechanical T module integrates a safety pin — temporary door stopping plus protection against unauthorized entry.
LS With Escape Safety Pin
The electronic L module integrates emergency escape — in an emergency, pull down the escape safety pin and push the door open immediately.

12 mm drilled hole + 3 mm width groove · Dual-stage safety protection · Second load peakTraditional Expansion Screws vs MDEA Comparison
7 Key Performance Indicators — Head-to-Head Comparison| Feature | Traditional Expansion Screw | MDEA |
|---|---|---|
| Reusability | Single-use; typically cannot be reused after removal, easily damaged | Reusable — can be installed and removed multiple times without damaging the substrate |
| Installation | Complex installation, requires multiple tools and more time | Quick installation — lock and secure instantly, no complex tools required |
| Stability | Single-layer expansion; average grip strength, tends to loosen over time | Dual-layer progressive expansion + safety locking mechanism; stronger grip, more stable |
| Substrate Compatibility | Thin panels (below 4mm) prone to cracking or unstable fixation | For single-layer thin panels <3mm: hole must be ~12mm diameter (rubber mallet recommended for gentle tapping) with a 3mm locking groove so the special washer protrusions engage the groove. Tighten only until you feel resistance — over-tightening may cause the hole to strip and lose fixation. For single-layer thin panels >3mm: with a 12mm hole plus a 3mm wide groove, the washer protrusions interlock firmly, providing excellent stability and preventing the washer from slipping. |
| Removal & Adjustment | Difficult to remove; easily damages substrate and screws | Easy removal; ideal for frequent adjustment, relocation, or maintenance |
| Substrate Protection | Installation and removal often cause panel damage | No panel damage during installation or removal; greatly extends service life |
| Long-term Cost | Requires frequent replacement; high long-term cost | One-time purchase, long-term reuse; significantly lower total cost of ownership |
|
MDEA comprehensively outperforms in stability, convenience, and durability! Especially suitable for furniture, shelving, display racks, and applications requiring frequent adjustment |

Requires a minimum substrate thickness > 3 mm and the drilled hole Diameter 12mm with a 3mm width groove to ensure secure anchoring performance.
