Sea-Dog Nylon Door Hinge 202530-1, Black, 3 Inch

The Sea-Dog 202530-1 is a black nylon door hinge built for marine cabin doors, hatches, and lockers where corrosion resistance matters. It is molded from UV resistant nylon (ZYTEL), so it holds up to sun and saltwater exposure without the rust or pitting that plagues bare metal hardware on deck and belowdecks. The hinge measures 3 inches long and 1-3/8 inches wide, sized for standard cabinetry and door applications aboard boats, RVs, and outdoor enclosures.

Mounting is done with #8 flat head (FH) fasteners (not included), so installation follows the same pattern as a typical butt-style door hinge: mortise or surface-mount the leaves to the door and jamb and drive the fasteners through the pre-formed holes. For thicker hatch covers or high-stress mounting points, the hinge can be paired with a Sea-Dog backing plate (part 202539) to add rigidity and prevent the fastener holes from breaking out over time; the backing plate is a separate part sold on its own.
