Door renovation with MM1018 for precise alignment of mortise hinges

In 2014, the Kelheim lock was modernised as part of a comprehensive renovation project. A key component of this was the replacement of the lock gates, which required precise realignment of the stem blocks. These play an essential role in ensuring that the gates are securely sealed and load-bearing when closed.

Traditionally, lining plates are used to adjust the stem cleats, which takes several days to machine and fit on site. This is a considerable time and cost factor, especially during tight closure periods.

The solution: the use of MM1018 – in combination with our proven injection technology, the liquid lining plate enabled a completely force-fit and permanently corrosion-resistant connection. Within just 24 to 28 hours, the cleats were precisely aligned, the gaps injected and the material completely cured.

In addition to the massive time savings, MM1018 impressed with its high compressive strength, excellent fatigue strength and resistance to moisture and corrosion. Ideal properties for use in steel hydraulic engineering.

Thanks to this innovative method, the lock was able to be put back into operation on schedule without compromising on quality and safety.
