National Mfg N131-102 Zinc Hinge Strap 8 Inches

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N131-102 is an 8-inch zinc hinge strap designed for use with 1/2-inch bolt screw hooks. This strap-only component serves as the pivot and swing element in a strap-and-hook hinge assembly, providing a secure and corrosion-resistant connection point for gates, doors, shutters, and similar hardware applications. Constructed from zinc for durability and resistance to the elements, this strap is sold without fasteners, keeping the hardware package focused on the strap itself. It is packaged in a box and sold in a quantity of 10 units per package, making it practical for contractors and trade professionals handling multiple installations at once.

This hinge strap is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a strap-and-hook hinge configuration is required. Common installation scenarios include wood or metal gates, barn doors, shed doors, shutters, and decorative or functional door hardware projects. The strap pairs with separately sourced 1/2-inch bolt screw hooks to complete the hinge assembly. It is appropriate for both interior and exterior use where a zinc-finished component meets the project specification.
