National Mfg N128-421 Light T-hinge 2 Inches Zinc 10-pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N128-421 is a 2-inch zinc-plated light T-hinge designed for general-purpose cabinet, gate, and door applications. Manufactured from hot rolled steel with a zinc finish, this hinge features offset screw holes that distribute load away from the wood edge, reducing the risk of splitting under repeated stress. A tight pin design allows installation for both left-hand and right-hand applications without requiring separate SKUs. The safe working load is rated at 8 pounds, making it appropriate for lightweight doors, shutters, and utility panels. Each package contains 10 hinges sold in bulk format.

This light T-hinge is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile, surface-mounted hinge is required. Typical installations include shed doors, cabinet doors, barn-style panels, and utility enclosures. The 2-inch leaf size fits standard lightweight framed assemblies. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered exterior use. Contractors, finish carpenters, and general tradespeople commonly specify this style of hinge for volume installations where bulk packaging reduces per-unit cost.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance tradespeople using standard hand tools. Power down any automated door operators before servicing hinges on motorized assemblies. Pre-drill pilot holes to the recommended diameter for the supplied screw size to take full advantage of the offset hole pattern and minimize wood splitting. Do not exceed the rated 8-pound safe working load when selecting this hinge for a given application.
