Whitecap Offset Hinge - 316 Stainless Steel - 1-1/2" x 2-3/4"

The Whitecap Offset Hinge — 316 Stainless Steel — 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" is a corrosion-resistant marine and outdoor hardware component engineered for applications where standard butt hinges cannot accommodate door or panel thickness. The offset design creates clearance between the hinge pivot and mounting surface, allowing doors or hatches to swing freely without interference. This hinge is ideal for boat builders, RV manufacturers, industrial facilities, and DIY enthusiasts working in saltwater, humid, or chemically demanding environments.

Manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, this hinge delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 or mild steel alternatives, making it the preferred choice for marine and coastal applications. The 3/8" offset spacing accommodates thicker door frames or insulation without requiring custom fabrication. The hinge measures 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" and accepts #10 fasteners (5 per leaf), providing secure attachment through solid wood or composite materials. The compact 0.2 lb weight and modest 2" x 2" footprint enable easy installation in tight spaces while maintaining structural integrity under repeated use.

This offset hinge is best suited for marine vessels, RVs, weatherproof cabinets, and outdoor equipment enclosures where salt spray and moisture exposure demand non-ferrous hardware. Installation requires pilot holes and #10 fasteners (not included) driven through both hinge leaves into mounting surfaces. The 316 stainless construction eliminates the need for protective coatings, reducing long-term maintenance costs and ensuring reliability in harsh saltwater or humid climates. For replacement, repair, or new-build applications, the Whitecap MPN 6162 offset hinge delivers dependable performance in demanding environments.
