Barrel Raised Hinge
The R series uses a barrel raised leaf structure, targeting North American architectural hardware channels. R shares the modular spindle-core platform (B-type) with K / M, while its leaf profile differs from the M series — offering a distinct visual outline. Any door can use the R series; its offset leaf needs less flat mounting depth, making it the right choice where the wall meets the door at a 90° (or 45°) corner and there isn't enough flat space behind for a mortise-style hinge — for example, a corner shower door in a compact wet/dry bathroom or a tight stairwell corner entry.
