ATLANTA, Aug. 9, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- The preparation stage of any painting job has been suddenly simplified thanks to a new tool invention, the Magnetic Door Hinge Covers, from CBMS, Inc.
Painting a door provided painters, contractors and do-it-yourselfers endless headaches if you wanted to keep the door hardware clean and paint-free -- the hallmark of a professional job. The choice was to remove the hinges completely or carefully tape the hinges numerous times, and clean sticky adhesive from them after painting. According to Mr. Uli Henssge, President and CEO of CBMS, Inc., "Such cumbersome and expensive methods are now a thing of the past."
The new tool from CBMS, the Magnetic Door Hinge Cover is an amazingly simple yet revolutionary idea. Hinge Covers make painting much less time consuming and much less costly. There is no need to remove a door from its hinges -- the two-piece Magnetic Door Hinge Cover attaches in two easy steps:
With the door open, align the "plate cover" over the door's hinge plates -- the Door Hinge Cover attaches magnetically, creating an instant seal. From the other side of the door, slide the flexible "pin cover" over the door's hinge pin. You're done, and the door remains fully functional.
"The Magnetic Door Hinge Cover comes conveniently packaged in sets of three, so a single package of Hinge Covers prepares all the hinges on one door. This great new tool from CBMS, the Hinge Cover, can be attached in a matter of seconds and the Hinge Covers are completely reusable, many times over," Mr. Ulrich Henssge said.
"Using the Hinge Cover," Mr. Ulrich Henssge said, "is a unique opportunity for painting contractors, homeowners and do-it-yourselfers to save time and money! Based on average prices for labor and materials, the current cost to tape, re-tape, and clean hinges is $3.16 per door. Plus, you still have the risk of injuries from trimming tape with sharp knives, damage to door hardware, or the effects of chemical solvents on people or the environment. When painters, contractors, homeowners and do-it-yourselfers eliminate these prepping costs, the savings add up quickly and the Magnetic Door Hinge Cover pays for itself a thousand times over."
