National Mfg N830-435 Removable Pin Surface Mount Hinge 3in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N830-435 is a 3-inch removable pin surface mount hinge built for chests, cabinets, small doors, and other specialty hardware applications. The surface mount design eliminates mortising, allowing faster installation on a wide range of materials without specialized cutting tools. The removable pin is the defining functional feature, enabling straightforward installation and removal of doors or lids without fully disassembling the hinge leaves. At 1.45 pounds per pack of 5 units, each hinge is a compact, lightweight hardware component suited for light-duty hinged enclosures and cabinetry.

This hinge is intended for residential and light commercial applications where a simple, low-profile pivot point is needed on smaller hinged assemblies. Typical use cases include tool chests, storage cabinets, utility enclosures, jewelry boxes, and decorative or specialty doors. The surface mount configuration makes it adaptable to wood, composite, and thin-panel assemblies where routing a mortise pocket is impractical or undesirable. Installers working on finish carpentry, cabinet refacing, or light fabrication projects will find this hinge straightforward to source and fit.

Installation Notes

Surface mount hinges are typically installed by finish carpenters, cabinet makers, or general contractors using standard drill and driver tools. Fasten each leaf securely to both the fixed frame and the door or lid panel before seating the hinge pin. Ensure mating surfaces are flush and square before final fastening to prevent binding. No mortise routing is required for this hinge style.
