SecureFix Direct T Hinges - Silver

Grade 316 is a higher quality stainless steel than Grade 304, containing molybdenum which makes it more resistant to corrosion, especially from salt and chloride ions. This makes it ideal for marine or coastal environments.

Yes, the included screws are made from Grade 304 Stainless Steel, which offers good corrosion resistance, though Grade 316 is superior for extremely harsh environments.

Yes, they are suitable for indoor use on cabinets, doors, or any application requiring a strong, durable hinge with a modern aesthetic.

The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity. However, the robust construction and 18-inch size suggest they are designed for substantial loads. Ensure your mounting surface is adequate.

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly to maintain the shine and prevent water spots.

The fixing plate dimensions are 140MM in length and 40MM in width.

While stainless steel can be painted, it may affect the corrosion resistance and the aesthetic. It is generally recommended to use them as-is, given their high-polished finish.

Apply a small amount of marine-grade lubricant or silicone spray to the hinge pin and pivot points. Ensure no debris is obstructing movement.

Ensure you are drilling appropriate pilot holes for the screw size. If mounting into softer wood, consider using wood inserts or larger screws if the original holes are stripped.

Although made of high-grade stainless steel, prolonged contact with certain corrosive substances or debris can cause staining. Clean thoroughly with a soft cloth and mild detergent. For coastal areas, regular cleaning is recommended.

Verify that all screws are fully tightened and that the mounting surfaces are structurally sound. For very heavy applications, consider using additional hinges.
