Fethers/Bestko hinges were quite common 5 - 10 years ago with glass fence installations. For the most part, they don't last very long and thus need to be replaced to ensure the compliance of a pool fence.
This particular type of hinge is no longer manufactured by the company, so Polaris has made a replacement hinge, that fits the particular cutout in the glass, so that you can easily replace them without needing to change the glass.
In this video I'll go through the process step by step, and some tips on what to look out for and do, to make the process easier and faster.

Excellent instructional video, thank you.

Thanks for the well detailed explanation

[@WaratahGlassFencing]

No problem!

Bestko hinges often leak out the hydraulic oil. Now people mostly use Polaris hinges for fencing door

[@WaratahGlassFencing]

Correct

Hi. Nice video. I have Betkco v.2.0 hinges. They haven’t been very reliable. So Polaris 130 series is the way to go? It will suit the cut out that I have in my glass?

[@JackieLee-m3e]

From video I think your glass door can use Polaris

[@WaratahGlassFencing]

Yes Polaris 130 series 99% of the time will fit the same cutout as fethers / bestko hinges.
