How much pressure does the screen pivot take?

My co worker needed my laptop for some quick check, and even though he treated it quite gently, I feel he forced the lip open quite a bit. Did my macbook get messed up? How much force can it take?
He didn't smash it open, just kinda forced a bit until it stopped opening.

Does it close properly?

Does it close properly?

Yes sir. It does.

It opens. It closes. That's what the hinges are designed to do.
They will take _some_ punishment, and are not inherently fragile.
You are likely making too much of this.

But, if you have any concerns at all, even if a little irrational, and the laptop belongs to you, then it's pretty simple: Don't loan it out.

Oh yeah I'm likely making too much of this for sure. I just wanted to know if there was any possibility.

And yes , I will make sure to carry out your advice to full extent. Thanks !

Sure, there is always a possibility of damage.
But, any damage would be fairly obvious to you, just by looking, and also how the hinge feels when you move it.
