Narrow-Profile Lift-Off Hinges without Holes
Hinge with 360°
Range of Motion
Also known as bullet hinges, these hinges are the right size for tight spaces and narrow frames. The hinge pin is permanently attached to the frame leaf so you can quickly lift the door off the hinge without removing the pin. Hinges with a 360° range of motion have a small triangular surface to weld to the door frame. Hinges with a 270° range of motion have a body that welds directly to the door frame.
304 stainless steel hinges are more corrosion resistant than low-carbon steel. They also have good chemical resistance.

Pull-Release Quick-Disconnect Hinges without Holes
These hinges are spring loaded—pull the handle to retract the pin and disconnect a door; release the handle and the pin snaps back. The hinges can also be used as a latch on cabinet lids, electrical enclosure doors, and computer equipment housings. Pin travel is the distance the pin must be moved to disconnect the hinge. A pair includes one left-side and one right-side hinge.
300 series stainless steel hinges are more corrosion resistant than zinc-plated low-carbon steel. They also have good chemical resistance.
