    Hold lids, panels, and doors open without props, locks, or springs. These hinges move smoothly into position and resistance keeps them there.
    Black Painted Zinc Alloy—The dark finish blends in or stands out. Zinc hinges hold up to moisture but aren’t as strong as steel hinges.
    304 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these hinges resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel hinges can.
    Painted Aluminum—Install these lightweight hinges where appearance and rust protection matter.
    Torque—When selecting a hinge to use with a lid, first find the torque force needed to move the lid. Multiply the weight of the lid (in pounds) by the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid (in inches). For example: if the lid weighs 3 lbs. and the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid is 12", the torque force is 3 lbs. × 12"= 36 in.-lbs. Divide the torque force by the number of hinges. For example, if using two hinges 36 in.-lbs. ÷ 2 = 18 in.-lbs. each.

    Plastic Friction Hinges

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hinges. Plastic Friction Hinges.
    A lightweight alternative to metal hinges for lids, panels, and doors. Instead of springs or props, these hinges use resistance to keep lids, panels, and doors open.
    Torque—When selecting a hinge to use with a lid, first find the torque force needed to move the lid. Multiply the weight of the lid (in pounds) by the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid (in inches). For example: if the lid weighs 3 lbs. and the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid is 12", the torque force is 3 lbs. × 12"= 36 in.-lbs. Divide the torque force by the number of hinges. For example, if using two hinges 36 in.-lbs. ÷ 2 = 18 in.-lbs. each.

    Change the resistance of these hinges by turning the screw. They hold lids, panels, and doors open without props, locks, or springs.
    Acetal—Rigid and wear resistant, these hinges are a good choice for doors that are opened and closed frequently. They also have good chemical resistance and won’t soften when exposed to moisture.
    430 Stainless Steel—Made of an economical stainless steel alloy, these hinges resist corrosion from mild chemicals and water. However, they won't hold up to long-term outdoor exposure like 304 stainless steel can.
    Torque—When selecting a hinge to use with a lid, first find the torque force needed to move the lid. Multiply the weight of the lid (in pounds) by the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid (in inches). For example: if the lid weighs 3 lbs. and the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid is 12", the torque force is 3 lbs. × 12"= 36 in.-lbs. Divide the torque force by the number of hinges. For example, if using two hinges 36 in.-lbs. ÷ 2 = 18 in.-lbs. each.

    Position lids, panels, guards, and displays at any angle and resistance keeps them in place.
