National Mfg N165-472 Ornamental Spring T-hinge 7in Black 2pk

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N165-472 is a 7-inch ornamental spring T-hinge sold in a 2-pack with a black finish. Built from hot rolled steel, it features a fully enclosed spring mechanism that automatically closes gates or doors after each use. The spring tension is adjustable, and a tight pin design allows installation for right-hand or left-hand swing applications. Mounting lags in a matching black finish are included. This hinge is intended for installation by general contractors, carpenters, or experienced DIYers working on light structural hardware projects.

The N165-472 is designed for narrow mounting surface applications where a standard wide-leaf hinge will not fit. Typical use cases include wooden or metal gates, barn doors, shed doors, storage bin lids, and tool box enclosures. The ornamental profile provides a traditional decorative look while maintaining functional spring-close performance. Each pack includes two hinges, making it a practical choice for single-door or single-gate installations that require a matched pair.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter, general contractor, or qualified DIYer using standard hand tools. Power down any electric gate operators or latching hardware before beginning work. Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent wood splitting and to ensure accurate lag placement. Adjust spring tension only after the hinge is fully mounted and the door or gate is hung and confirmed plumb.
