Whitecap Flush Mount Hinge - 316 Stainless Steel - 4" x 1-1/2"

The Whitecap Flush Mount Hinge in 316 stainless steel is a marine-grade hardware component engineered for hatches, lockers, and access panels on boats, RVs, and outdoor equipment exposed to saltwater or harsh environmental conditions. At 4 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width, this hinge delivers a compact footprint ideal for applications where space is limited yet reliability cannot be compromised. Whether you're outfitting a vessel, constructing weatherproof storage, or replacing corroded hinges on existing installations, this flush mount design provides a low-profile, durable solution.

Constructed from 316-grade stainless steel, this hinge resists corrosion far better than standard steel or 304 stainless, making it the preferred choice for marine environments where salt spray and moisture accelerate oxidation. The flush mount design allows panels to sit flush against mounting surfaces with minimal protrusion, reducing snag hazards and maintaining clean aesthetics on finished surfaces. Installation is straightforward: six #8 fasteners (hardware included) secure the hinge to both the panel and mounting frame, ensuring a solid, rattle-free connection even under continuous vibration or thermal cycling.

Marine professionals, boat builders, and DIY enthusiasts benefit most from this hinge's proven corrosion resistance and compact profile. Its 0.3 lb weight makes it lightweight enough for overhead installations without strain, while the stainless steel construction eliminates the need for paint or protective coatings over time. Compatible with wood, fiberglass, and light composite substrates, the Whitecap flush mount hinge (MPN 6160) is a cost-effective replacement or upgrade for any application demanding durability and minimal maintenance in wet or salt-air conditions.
