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

The Whitecap Offset Hinge — 316 Stainless Steel, 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" — is a marine-grade hardware component engineered for demanding environments where corrosion resistance is non-negotiable. Built from 316 stainless steel, this offset hinge delivers superior protection against saltwater corrosion, making it ideal for boat hardware, coastal installations, and equipment exposed to harsh outdoor conditions.

This hinge features a 3/8-inch offset design that creates clearance between the mounting surface and the door or panel, allowing unobstructed swing and preventing binding in tight installations. The 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" dimensions provide a compact profile suitable for storage compartments, access panels, and locker doors. Fastening utilizes five #8 screws, offering secure anchoring across a range of substrate materials. The 316 stainless steel construction ensures longevity without maintenance — no painting, treating, or re-sealing required even after years of exposure to salt spray and UV radiation.

This hinge is specified by marine contractors, RV manufacturers, and offshore equipment providers who cannot tolerate hardware failure. The offset geometry distinguishes it from standard butt hinges — a critical detail for applications where standard hinges create interference with adjacent surfaces or mounting hardware. Its lightweight profile (0.15 lbs) minimizes load on mounting surfaces while maintaining strength in saltwater service.

Whitecap manufactures this hinge to withstand marine service standards without compromising functionality or durability. Whether securing hatches on commercial vessels, securing panels on trailer-mounted equipment, or installing access hardware in coastal facilities, the 316 stainless steel composition ensures years of reliable service in saltwater or chemically aggressive environments.
