Stainless Steel Continuous Hinges for Marine and Non-Aquatic Uses
Outside of marine or aquatic uses, a heavy duty continuous hinge can be used in industrial or residential settings that are regularly exposed to the elements. From saunas and fitness centers with pools to water treatment facilities, these hinges are suitable for a range of applications where their toughness and made-to-last qualities are needed.
Made from stainless steel, these hinges are comprised of some of the strongest, most robust metal out there. From industrial-strength doors on large ships to hatches on yachts and mid-sized boats, these hinges can withstand tremendous wear and tear.
Primary Uses for a Stainless Steel Continuous Hinge
Continuous hinges are used to allow solid, heavy-duty doors to open and close with ease. Because they are installed along the length of a door, they are commonly used for doors that frequently swivel to open and close. Think of an industrial facility where people are always coming in and out through a heavy door.

FAQs
What is this stainless steel continuous hinge made from?
This bright-annealed, stainless steel hinge is comprised of 304 alloy, which is a metal made from mixing several different elements. This process is what makes the stainless steel rock-solid but also rust-resistant.
What are the pin diameter measurements of these continuous hinges?
They measure either 0.125-inches or 3/32-inches (0.09375-inches).
What does the term “bright annealed” mean?
Bright annealing occurs in a process where the stainless steel is heated in a controlled, high-temperature furnace. This treatment produces a smooth, reflective mirror-like finish that is also resistant to rust.
