During the past century, the Soss® name has become the worldwide standard for invisible hinges, and it all began in 1903 when a young Rumanian immigrant tripped and fell over a ship deck cargo hatch during an ocean voyage.
By the time the ship sailed into New York harbor, Joe Soss had developed the idea and built a prototype for the world’s first invisible hinge.
The concealed hinge became widely used on jewelry cases, humidors, bookshelves that swing open to reveal hidden rooms, and even cargo holds on ship decks. Henry Ford used the hinge on the glove boxes of his early model automobiles.
Frank Lloyd Wright, America’s greatest architect, liked the clean, uncluttered look of the SOSS® Invisible Hinge, and specified it for doors on many of his most notable commercial and residential structures. Among these is Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pa., considered one of the finest private homes in America.
Today doors on many of the world’s most recognized landmarks are equipped with SOSS® Invisible Hinges, including the White House, Buckingham Palace, Disneyland, the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City, and Esplanade By The Bay in Singapore.
Commercial buildings and luxury homes have been core markets, with a wide range of hinge sizes and finishes sold through distributors to contractors and high-end hardware stores.
