Coiled Spring Pins are manufactured with a seam which is much better for hinges than the gap or slot of Slotted Spring Pins.

A large percentage of Coiled Pins are used in hinges and the unique seam configuration is essential to their proper function. Thus, when utilized in round holes, the seam should have absolutely no impact on performance. The Coiled Pin’s tucked seam will allow smooth, interference-free rotation of hinge/axle components in the vast majority of assemblies.
