Sea-Dog 204278-1 Take-Apart Hinge, Left Side, Forged Brass Chrome Plated, 3-7/8 Inch

The Sea-Dog 204278-1 is a left side take-apart hinge built for boat doors, lids, and hatches that need to come off after installation without removing any fasteners. Once the leaves are separated, the door or lid simply lifts free for stowing, cleaning, or servicing, then drops right back into place and realigns on the pin. The hinge is forged brass with a chrome plated finish for corrosion resistance and a bright, durable look that holds up in a marine environment.

It mounts to the surface either horizontally or vertically, so it works on hatch covers, lockers, cabinet doors, and lid assemblies where orientation varies from boat to boat. Each leaf is drilled for four #10 flat head fasteners (fasteners not included), and the hinge is sold and shipped as a pair. Because this is the left side hinge, it must be paired with its mirror-image counterpart, part number 204279-1, for a matching set on a two-hinge installation.
