Houdini

Just like magic, the Houdini ™ simplifies your choice of keyboard arms, because it works just about anywhere and does just about anything.
Short Return?
Corner Work Surface?
No Problem!
The Houdini pulls out far enough to work in a corner, but still retracts fully on a short, 17¾” track. Plus, it adjusts quickly and easily to follow various postures for low-risk keyboard positions. It does just about everything except check your spelling!
- Patented design works on both corner work surfaces and short returns by working like an extended mechanism but stowing like a short arm (CornerShaper™ is needed for 90º corners)
- Position indicators for both height and tilt are practical and attractive
- Soft-touch wheel allows convenient, stable, one-hand tilt adjustment
- Provides a total travel range of 8″ (5″ below work surface; 3″ above)
- Offers maximum seated flexibility, with a full 20º negative tilt and 10º positive tilt
- “Lift and Release” height adjustment is effortless and secure
- 360º rear swivel provides additional keyboard tray positioning

- Exceeds the ANSI/BIFMA x 5.5 – 1998 industry performance standard

No matter where you live, work, or play, hinges are everywhere. You’ll find them on cabinets. On refrigerators. On cars and airplanes. They’re a quiet part of daily life that keeps things moving. Boats are different. They rely on hinges that do far more than open and close. Marine hinge design calls for careful thinking about motion control, spring assistance, and the effects of salt, weather, and humidity.

When you’re working through the details of a new product design, it’s easy to think, “A hinge is a hinge.” But if you’ve ever seen a lid sag, a door bind, or an access panel fail under load, you know hinge selection can make or break a design. The temptation to save a few dollars with a lighter, cheaper hinge is real, especially when budgets are tight. Yet choosing the wrong hinge can lead to damaged equipment, unsafe operation, and costly redesigns down the line.
