Spring hinge pins work in a door mechanism by using a spring-loaded design that helps the door close automatically. The spring inside the hinge pin provides tension, which helps the door swing shut when it is opened. This mechanism is commonly used in self-closing doors to ensure they close securely after being opened.
There are three main types of door hinge pins available in the market: removable hinge pins, fixed hinge pins, and loose pin hinges.
