National Mfg N348-995 Ss Tight Pin Hinge 3 Inches

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N348-995 is a narrow stainless steel tight pin hinge designed for lightweight applications including doors, chests, and cabinets. Sold in a package of 3, this all-purpose hinge features a fixed tight pin design that prevents the pin from working loose during normal operation. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for both interior and exterior installations where moisture exposure is a concern. The 3-inch leaf size fits standard narrow-stile frames and lightweight door assemblies. Installation requires no special tools beyond a screwdriver and a standard drill.

This hinge is intended for residential and light commercial use on lightweight doors, storage chests, cabinet doors, and similar enclosures. Its tight pin configuration allows for left-hand or right-hand door applications without any modification, making it a versatile stocking item for general carpentry, cabinetry, and finish work. The all-purpose design suits a range of install scenarios where a low-profile, corrosion-resistant hinge is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, cabinetmaker, or general contractor. Mortise the hinge leaf flush with the door edge and frame jamb before fastening to ensure proper door alignment and swing clearance. Use only fasteners rated for stainless steel to avoid galvanic corrosion at the screw interface. Confirm door weight and frequency of use fall within the hinge load rating before installation.
