Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Oval Equal-Plate Cast Hinge (often called an oval deck hinge or butt hinge).While it looks very similar to flat oval hinges, the main difference is that its center pin area (the barrel) sticks up slightly on one side.
How it WorksThe two side plates are completely flat, but the folding joint sits raised in the middle.
Opens 180 Degrees: It allows doors, lids, or hatches to open completely flat.
Flush Look: You can cut a shallow hole (recess) into the wood or fiberglass to sink the side plates. This leaves only the smooth metal plates and screw heads level with the surface.
Key Features
Cast Marine 316 Stainless Steel: It is made by pouring liquid metal into a mold. This makes the hinge very thick, strong, and highly resistant to rust from salt water.
Equal 6-Hole Pattern: It has 3 screw holes on each side. This layout spreads out the weight evenly, making it great for holding up heavy doors.
Mirror Polished Finish: The surface is polished like a mirror. This looks shiny and stops salt and dirt from sticking to it.
Common Uses
Boat Deck Hatches: Used for floor doors on boat decks where people walk. It is tough enough to handle heavy steps.
Folding Boat Tables: Used to join two table halves together so they can unfold into a single large, flat table.
Engine Covers: Used to open and close heavy engine room doors safely.
