Whitecap Shortside Door Hinge - 316 Stainless Steel - 1-1/2" x 3"

The Whitecap Shortside Door Hinge in 316 stainless steel is a marine-grade fastening solution designed for boat cabins, hatches, and equipment access doors subject to saltwater exposure and corrosive environments. Built for recreational and commercial marine applications, this hinge provides reliable pivot action for doors and panels that demand corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The shortside configuration makes it ideal for installations where space is limited and a compact profile is essential.

Manufactured from 316 stainless steel—the premium marine-grade alloy—this hinge offers superior resistance to rust, salt spray, and galvanic corrosion compared to standard stainless or mild steel alternatives. The 1-1/2" x 3" dimensions provide substantial bearing surface for smooth operation under repeated opening and closing cycles. Secured with five #10 fasteners, the hinge distributes load evenly across mounting points, ensuring stable door positioning without sagging or misalignment. The shortside design reduces overall footprint while maintaining the structural integrity needed for marine service.

This hinge benefits boat owners, marine equipment manufacturers, and maintenance professionals who need reliable hardware for cabin doors, locker access panels, and galley hatches in saltwater vessels. Installation requires drilling five appropriately sized holes and using compatible fasteners rated for marine environments. The 0.2 lb weight makes it suitable for overhead applications without adding significant structural burden, while the stainless steel construction eliminates the need for protective coatings or regular maintenance beyond routine inspection.
