Hinge Pin Information

What about the pin? Often times the hinge pin is given little consideration. Is the material type and diameter critical to your application? Similar material types along with standard diameters are more common; however, different materials and diameters are often possible. For example, your steel hinge may perform better with a brass pin just as some aluminum hinges may require a stainless steel pin. As for the diameter of the hinge pin we follow industry standards however we will try our best to accommodate your special diameter requests. Just remember, a larger pin does not necessarily mean a stronger hinge. Listed below are some other considerations for your hinge pin. In addition to these we also provide welded pins along with machined pins and caps. Please contact us for additional hinge pin options.
