National Hardware N115-519 Surface Hinge 2.5in Steel

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N115-519 is a non-spring, non-self-closing surface-mount hinge designed for light-duty door and panel applications. Built from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this hinge provides corrosion resistance in typical interior environments. It measures 3 inches in length and 2.5 inches in width, with a rated load capacity of 45 pounds. Sold in a package of 2 hinges, it is suited for carpenters, general contractors, and maintenance technicians working on cabinet doors, lightweight interior doors, box lids, or access panels where a passive, non-closing hinge is required.

This hinge is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where surface mounting is preferred over a mortised or concealed hinge. The non-self-closing design keeps doors or panels in the position they are left, making it practical for utility cabinets, storage enclosures, and access hatches. The zinc-plated steel construction holds up to standard interior conditions without special preparation or finishing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, maintenance technicians, or general contractors using basic hand tools. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and that fasteners are appropriate for the substrate material. No power-down or utility shutoff is required for standard hinge replacement. Follow applicable building codes when installing on fire-rated or egress doors.
