Custom Strap Hinges
Strap hinges are one of the older styles of hinge but despite their age, or perhaps because of it, they remain a popular choice for many purposes. At Midlake, we can help you design and manufacture the custom strap hinges you need for a particular project or product, customizing material, size, finish, and more.
A typical strap hinge is made up of two unequal hinge parts where one is longer than the other. The larger piece, also called a leaf, creates a mounting surface for the smaller leaf which is used as the opening mechanism.
Typical options with strap hinges include:
- Full surface mounting to either wood, metal or structural steel.
- Unequal open width or length.
- Design can be industrial or more ornate.
Strap Hinge Basics
Strap hinges can be found in a number of settings, such as gates or enclosures. These hinges are often selected for heavy duty applications because they lend themselves well to supporting a great deal of weight. Heavy duty strap hinges, able to support a greater load or stand up to more frequent use, look very similar to the standard version of the hinge, thus allowing customers to get the same visual effect while doing much more work.
