National Mfg N128-504 Light T-hinge 3 Inch Zinc

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N128-504 is a light-duty T-hinge designed for wood gate, door, and cabinet applications where a low-profile surface-mounted hinge is required. Built from hot rolled steel with a zinc finish, this 3-inch hinge features offset screw holes that distribute load away from the wood grain, reducing the risk of splitting over time. The tight pin design allows installation for both left-hand and right-hand applications without requiring a separate SKU. Sold in bulk packs of 10, this hinge is suited for carpenters, finish contractors, and general tradespeople working on light residential or utility projects.

This T-hinge is appropriate for light-duty residential and utility installations including wood gates, shed doors, cabinet doors, and similar applications where a surface-mounted hinge is preferred over a butt hinge. The 3-inch leaf length fits standard light framing stock. With a safe working load of 13 pounds, it is intended for lighter panels and doors rather than heavy exterior doors or high-cycle commercial applications. Screws are not included and must be sourced separately to match the substrate material.

Key Features

• Offset screw holes reduce stress concentration and help prevent wood splitting at fastener points
• Tight pin design supports both left-hand and right-hand installation without modification
• Hot rolled steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in light-duty environments
• Safe working load of 13 pounds per hinge
• Sold in bulk pack of 10 units per package
• Screws not included, allowing the installer to select fasteners appropriate for the substrate

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface-mount replacement or new-installation T-hinge for light wood doors, gates, and cabinet applications requiring a 3-inch leaf hinge.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or general contractors using standard hand tools and wood screws appropriate for the door or gate substrate. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound before fastening. Select screw length and gauge based on wood thickness to achieve full thread engagement without breakthrough. Verify left- or right-hand orientation before drilling pilot holes to avoid unnecessary wood damage.
