Whitecap Take-Apart Hinge (Non-Locking) - CP/Brass - 3-7/8" x 2-1/16"

The Whitecap Take-Apart Hinge (Non-Locking) in chrome-plated brass is a heavy-duty, removable hinge system designed for engine boxes, equipment hatches, access panels, and storage compartments that require complete removal or full lay-back capability. Built to specification for marine, industrial, and tactical applications, this hinge allows authorized personnel to fully separate doors and covers for unrestricted access to interior systems and equipment. The non-locking design eliminates complexity while maintaining structural integrity under operational loads, making it ideal for field equipment, vehicle maintenance stations, and field-deployable systems where quick access is mission-critical.

Constructed from chrome-plated brass, this Whitecap hinge (MPN S-991) provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments—a critical advantage in coastal, humid, or chemically exposed settings where steel hinges fail prematurely. Measuring 3-7/8" × 2-1/16" with a total weight of 0.75 lbs, the hinge accommodates four #10 fasteners for secure mounting to compatible frames and panels. The take-apart design uses a removable pin mechanism, allowing the hinge leaf to separate completely without tools, enabling rapid panel removal during maintenance cycles or operational reconfiguration. Chrome plating adds a protective barrier while maintaining aesthetic consistency on modern tactical and industrial platforms.

Field technicians, maintenance crews, and equipment specialists benefit most from this hinge's straightforward removal capability—particularly in time-sensitive operational environments where downtime directly impacts mission readiness. Installation requires four #10 fasteners (hardware not included) and compatibility with existing frame hole patterns matching the 3-7/8" × 2-1/16" footprint. This hinge pairs well with aluminum or steel frames rated for the load weight of the mounted panel; consult fastener torque specifications for your specific application. The non-locking variant is preferred where deliberate, controlled access is required and accidental opening is not a concern.
