Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Stamped Oval Hinge (often called an oval table hinge or counter-top hinge).The big difference between this one and the previous cast hinge is that this one is stamped from a flat sheet of metal instead of being cast in a mold. The middle folding pin (the barrel) sits completely flat and flush with the rest of the plates on the top side.
How it Works
The entire top surface is completely flat, including the middle pin.
180-Degree Flat Fold: It lets doors or tables fold open perfectly flat without any metal parts sticking up.
No Tripping or Snagging: Because the pin does not stick out on top, you can walk over it or slide objects across it without catching on anything.
Key Features
Stamped Stainless Steel: It is pressed flat from a sheet of marine-grade stainless steel. It is slightly thinner than a cast hinge but still highly resistant to rust from ocean water.
6-Hole Layout: It has 3 counter-sunk screw holes on each side, so flat-head screws will sit perfectly level with the metal.
Flush Barrel Design: The hinge pin is rolled underneath or perfectly level, making the top side totally smooth.
Common Uses
Folding Cabin Tables: Perfect for boat dining tables that fold in half to save space, keeping the tabletop smooth for plates and cups.
Passageway Counter-tops: Used for flip-up wooden counters in boat galleys (kitchens) or bars where a smooth surface is needed when lowered.
Lightweight Seat Locker Hatches: Great for under-seat storage benches inside the cabin where a raised hinge would be uncomfortable to sit on.
