Structural Locking Style Marine Folding Swivel Coupling. Unlike standard free-swinging hinges, this specific model features an internal square locking tab and latch mechanism visible at the open joint. When closed straight, the latch clicks shut into the square recess to create a highly rigid, load-bearing connection that will not fold unexpectedly under heavy wind or wave impact.
This style is perfect for structural boat railings, heavy Bimini sunshades, or collapsible flagpoles that require extra stability when locked in position.
Key Installation Note
When installing this interlocking version, ensure that you slide the tubing fully into the sleeves before tightening the hex head set screws. Because the latch requires a precise alignment to snap shut properly, any slight twisting or bending of your structural pipes during installation can cause the lock to bind.
