Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N208-850 is a galvanized, loose pin door hinge designed for full mortise installations in residential and light commercial applications. Manufactured from cold rolled steel with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance, this hinge features a 5-knuckle swaged construction and measures 3 inches by 2.5 inches. The loose pin design allows doors to be removed from the frame without detaching the hinge leaves from either the door or the jamb, making it a practical choice for service and maintenance work. Rated for a safe working load of 45 pounds, it suits standard interior door applications.

This hinge is used in full mortise door installations where the hinge leaf seats flush into a routed pocket on both the door edge and the door frame. Typical applications include interior residential doors, light commercial doors, and utility room or closet doors. Each package contains 5 hinges, making it suitable for multi-door projects or service stock replenishment. Carpenters, door installers, and general contractors are the primary tradespeople who specify and install this product.
