A 180-degree hinge joins two glass panels edge-to-edge in a straight line. This is the configuration used when a hinged shower door opens from a fixed glass panel rather than from a wall, and both panels sit along the same plane.
Where 180-Degree Hinges Are Used
The most common use case is a two-panel inline shower screen: one fixed panel and one hinged door, both running along the same wall. The 180-degree hinge sits at the junction, allowing the door to swing open up to 180 degrees for a completely unobstructed entry. This wide opening arc is particularly valuable for accessibility, cleaning, or simply for the sense of openness it creates.
180-Degree vs Wall-to-Glass
If your door swings from a wall, you need wall-to-glass hinges. If it swings from another glass panel in a straight line, you need 180-degree hinges. If the panels meet at an angle, you need 135-degree hinges. Choosing the correct hinge type is critical, so confirm with your installer before ordering.
