Marine Stainless Steel Door Hinge – AISI 316 is a compact, unequal-leaf hinge designed for doors, cabinets, lockers, access panels, storage compartments, and similar hinged fittings on boats and other marine installations. Manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel, it offers dependable resistance to corrosion in wet, humid, coastal, and salt-exposed environments. Its practical size and corrosion-resistant construction make it a suitable choice when ordinary cabinet hardware may deteriorate because of repeated contact with moisture.

The hinge measures 57.15mm x 38mm (2-1/4″ x 1-1/2″), providing a compact mounting footprint for installations where space is limited. Its unequal-leaf configuration allows the longer section to be secured to the main supporting surface while the shorter section connects to the moving door, lid, or panel. This form is commonly described as a short-side door hinge and is available in comparable marine hardware ranges in the same size and material specification. The surface-mounted design can simplify installation because the hinge leaves are fitted directly onto the relevant surfaces rather than recessed into deep hinge pockets.

Five countersunk mounting holes are distributed across the two leaves, as shown in the product image. These countersunk openings are intended to accommodate suitable flat-head fasteners and help the installed screw heads sit more neatly against the hinge surface. Mounting screws are not included in the confirmed product information, so buyers should select fasteners according to the door material, supporting structure, installation conditions, and required holding strength. Using compatible corrosion-resistant marine fasteners is advisable to maintain consistent material performance and reduce the possibility of corrosion between dissimilar metals.

AISI 316 stainless steel is widely selected for marine door hinges and boat hardware because it is suitable for environments where water, humidity, salt residue, and outdoor exposure are common. This makes the hinge useful for vessel interiors as well as appropriately selected exterior or semi-exposed fittings. Regular rinsing and cleaning remain important in saltwater service because even stainless steel hardware can collect salt, dirt, and surface deposits over time.

This boat hinge can be used as marine replacement hardware or as part of a new installation. It may suit cabinet doors, cockpit lockers, storage boxes, equipment enclosures, console access panels, under-seat compartments, and other small doors or lids with compatible dimensions. Before ordering, compare the stated overall size, unequal-leaf arrangement, mounting-hole positions, opening direction, available clearance, and required movement with the existing hinge or installation area.

Although buyers may search for this item using terms such as marine door hinges, cabinet door hinges, heavy duty stainless hinges, boat hinge, or 316 stainless steel hinges, no specific load rating is supplied for this model. The door or panel weight, number of hinges, fastener type, mounting surface, spacing, and operating conditions should therefore be considered before installation. For heavier doors or panels, the suitability and quantity of hinges should be confirmed by the installer.
