Marine Hinges Have Many Uses
Whether you are headed out to go sailing, fishing, or just cruising, your boat of choice likely uses rust-resistant marine hinges for all of its closures. To secure cabinets, deck hatches, drawers, anchor lockers, tackle boxes, or any compartment on your personal vessel, these marine hinges provide the reliability you demand. Their robust construction and refined finish make them suitable for various marine applications, ensuring that your boat remains both functional and elegant.
Without the added protection offered by stainless steel marine hinges, corrosion can start to form which can cause deterioration of the hinge and the corresponding door or fixture it is attached to. If not addressed promptly, such wear and tear in an aquatic environment can cause more extensive damage pretty quickly.
Though you might readily think of using marine hinges on boats and other types of watercraft vehicles, they have many other uses. Sheds, deck boxes, lockers, pool boxes or outdoor storage structures might benefit from the use of these types of hinges, particularly if they are located in locations with a lot of moisture.
In addition to residential uses, these hinges are suitable for a range of industrial or commercial applications, such as military and defense, transportation, boat building, fishing and aquaculture, cargo and shipping, and manufacturing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of a marine hinge over other types of hinges? They look the same to me.
These types of hinges go through a specially enhanced casting method and polishing process that makes them more corrosive resistant than other hinges. Though stainless steel metal is rust-resistant, marine hinges offer an extra layer of protection, so you can be confident the hinge will last regardless of its exposure. Marine hinges are available in many of the same sizes, shapes, and variety as butt or other hinges.
What type of finish do these marine hinges have?
These hinges have a polished, reflective surface that bolsters the corrosive-resistant quality of the hinge as well as adds to its visual appeal.
Are these aquatic hinges made for boats?
Marine hinges are primarily designed for vessels, boats, carriers, and other watercraft as well as their equipment, devices, and gear. As such, they are tough and hardy so they can withstand frequent interactions with seawater without experiencing deterioration.
Can these made-for-water hinges be used for other purposes?
Yes, any outdoor structure with doors, such as sheds and storage containers, that is routinely subjected to rain, snow and the elements can benefit from rust-resistant marine hinges.
So if you are looking for a dependable hinge that can withstand long-term exposure to water and other elements, consider a marine hinge. They are routinely used for naval fixtures such as doors, cabinets, and other closures on small and large vessels. For more than aquatic purposes as the name implies, these hinges are also a smart purchase for outdoor storage sheds and compartments where doors and openings regularly face rain, snow and other elements.
