Review on Berlin Modisch Mortise Corners Closing: Enhancing Door Security with Style by Travis Vasquez

These are quality hinges that look heavy. But its design shifts the edges of the door an additional 1/4 to 5/16 inches from the hinge jamb to the side of the latch. I couldn't close the door. No problem if you knew and anticipated the need for additional reverse osmosis latitude. But I have routed over 50 non-standard door jambs and ceilings. and embedded in all my jambs and doors with standard fixings. I'm picky about plum, square and scribe. Although the hinges were cut deep enough to be flush with the wood at the jamb and door edge, the handle side of the door was set laterally 1/4-3/8 inch behind the jamb. Because the corresponding RO was now too small. Switched to standard hinges and the problem was gone immediately. So can't say anything about soft-close operation. But then came Heavy Duty, Nicely Finished, albeit with a bulky, larger diameter barrel for a recoil mechanism. I suspect that could be adjusted, but I didn't want to experiment by trimming the door, which would increase the spacing on the sides of the jamb. Although it could be hidden by locking posts on one side. For your health. The LOW rating simply refers to the lack of warning about the reverse osmosis issue, not the quality of the product.
