Strap & Tee Hinges
- Strap hinges feature long, narrow leaves that help distribute weight across a larger surface area, providing enhanced stability. This design makes them ideal for heavier doors, access panels, enclosures, gates, and equipment covers where added strength and stability are required.
- Tee hinges, also referred to as T hinges, combine a long strap leaf with a shorter cross leaf, forming a “T” shape. This configuration provides excellent load-bearing capability while allowing for flexible mounting options.
Together, strap and tee hinges offer:
- Increased support for heavier applications
- Simple, proven designs
- Long service life with minimal maintenance
- Compatibility with a wide range of installations
Stainless Steel Strap & Tee Hinges for Demanding Environments
Many of Jefco’s strap and tee hinges are manufactured from stainless steel, making them well-suited for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or frequent washdowns. A stainless steel strap hinge or stainless steel tee hinge offers superior corrosion resistance while maintaining strength and precision over time.
Benefits of stainless steel hinges include:
- Resistance to rust and corrosion
- Excellent performance indoors and outdoors
- Clean, professional appearance
- Reduced maintenance requirements
These advantages make stainless steel strap and tee hinges a smart choice for industries such as food processing, transportation, marine, enclosures, and general manufacturing.
