Re-Engineered Bommer Hinge Replacements

Reproducing a Bommer hinge system requires precise engineering. Each hinge must:

• Support consistent swing motion
• Return doors to center reliably
• Handle repeated daily use in commercial environments
• Match original mounting styles and dimensions

Our team has worked to reproduce these critical features across our hinge lineup, including engineered replacements for Bommer models such as 7012, 7112, 7512, 7800 series and 3029 series.

We are also actively testing our hinge designs under real-world conditions. As of April 2026, one of our S7012 replacement hinges has exceeded 300,000 open-and-close cycles during continuous testing, with little to no visible wear on internal components. Testing is ongoing to evaluate long-term durability under extended use.

The result is a line of replacement hinges that are fully compatible with existing installations and built to meet modern expectations for durability, availability, and long-term performance.

At Swinging Café Doors, our hinges are not generic substitutes. They are carefully re-engineered replacements designed to match the performance, function, and mounting configurations of original Bommer hinge models.

Common Bommer Replacement Applications

Commercial & Utility Door Applications (7012, 7112)

Bommer 7012 and 7112 hinge models were commonly used in cabinet manufacturing, gas stations, convenience stores, and retail service areas. These applications require durable double action spring hinges that can withstand repeated daily use and deliver consistent self-closing performance.

Our replacement hinges are designed to meet the demands of these commercial environments, providing reliable operation for utility doors, service doors, and high-cycle applications.

Restaurant & Hospitality Door Applications (7512, 7811, 7812, 7-1/2")

Bommer 7512, 7811, and 7812 hinge systems were widely used in restaurant kitchens, saloon-style doors, and other hospitality environments where two-way swinging doors and hold-open functionality are required.

7-1/2 inch spring hinge applications are typically used for heavier swinging doors that require controlled spring-loaded movement and consistent return performance.

Residential & Light Commercial Door Applications (3"–6" Double Action Hinges)

In addition to Bommer-style replacements, Swinging Café Doors offers a broader range of double action spring hinges used for saloon doors, pantry doors, and interior swinging doors.

These hinge systems are typically jamb-mounted and designed for moderate-use environments where smooth operation and reliable function are important.

How to Identify Your Bommer Hinge Model

Bommer hinge model numbers were typically stamped directly on the hinge body. If the model number is not visible, you can identify your hinge by comparing its mounting style, function, and application.

Steps to identify your hinge:

• Look for a stamped model number on the hinge body
• Identify mounting style (surface mount, floor mount, header, or jamb)
• Determine hold-open vs non-hold-open functionality
• Measure door weight and door thickness
• Compare hinge design to known Bommer hinge models

How to Replace a Bommer Hinge

Replacing a Bommer hinge involves removing the existing hinge and installing a compatible replacement that matches the original mounting configuration and application requirements.

Basic steps:

• Remove the existing hinge hardware
• Prepare mounting surfaces
• Install the replacement hinge according to specifications
• Adjust spring tension or closing speed as needed
