National Mfg N146-258 Light Narrow Hinge 2.5 in Zinc 2 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N146-258 is a light narrow hinge designed for interior doors, cabinets, and lightweight swinging panels. Each pack contains two hinges measuring 2.5 inches by 1-11/16 inches, constructed from zinc for corrosion resistance and lasting durability in everyday applications. The tight pin design keeps the pin securely in place during operation, reducing the chance of the hinge coming apart under repeated use. Mounting screws are included. This hinge is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a narrow profile is required.

This hinge is commonly used in applications where door thickness or frame width limits the use of a standard full-size hinge. Typical installations include lightweight interior doors, cabinet doors, small utility panels, and similar swinging assemblies that require a low-profile, narrow-leaf hinge. Each package contains two hinges, making it straightforward to complete a single door installation with one pack. Installers in residential construction, finish carpentry, and cabinet work will find this a practical off-the-shelf replacement or new-installation option.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, finish tradespeople, or general contractors using a chisel, drill, and appropriate driver bits for mortising and screw fastening. Power down any electric door hardware or access control connected to the door before beginning hinge replacement. Ensure the door is properly supported during hinge removal and reinstallation to avoid damage to the frame or door panel. Follow applicable local building codes for door hardware in commercial or multi-family residential applications.
