Chrome-Plated Brass Hinge 99x32mm (4.5mm Thick) – Classic Heavy-Duty Hinge

This chrome-plated brass hinge merges traditional strength with the style favored in classic nautical design. Its solid brass body provides exceptional resistance to deformation and wear, and the substantial ~4.5 mm thickness allows it to bear significant loads without bending. The chrome finish imparts a mirror shine that perfectly complements varnished wood and other high-quality materials used in yacht interiors. At the same time, this finish protects the brass from tarnishing (patina) and from the effects of salty air.

Measuring 99x32 mm, the hinge is suitable for mounting on doors and lids where standard thinner hinges might bend or break. Its classic rectangular design and visible screw heads give it a vintage charm – hardware like this is often used in the restoration of old sailboats or in decorating modern boats in a traditional style. The robustness of the hinge ensures smooth movement: the pin is solid, preventing loosening or sagging even after prolonged use. Installation uses four screws; it’s best to use brass or stainless screws with chrome heads to maintain the aesthetic and avoid hardware corrosion.

Although extremely durable, this hinge is best suited for use inside the vessel or in protected outdoor areas. Chrome-plated brass holds up well against moisture and normal marine atmosphere, but under continuous direct exposure to harsh conditions (e.g., around-the-clock on an open deck) the finish may eventually require periodic cleaning and maintenance. In normal conditions, however, this hinge will provide decades of reliable service, combining function and beauty.

• Recommended Use: Interior cabin doors, cabinet lids, folding tables, or saloon hatches – anywhere a sturdy hinge with a distinguished look is needed. Especially well-suited to wooden structures, where brass hardware complements the warmth of the wood.
• Ideal for Retro Aesthetics: Indispensable for restoring classic boats or creating a “vintage” decor – this hinge is an authentic detail that adds character. Chrome-plated brass is a traditional marine material that pairs wonderfully with brass lamps, compasses, and other period fittings.
• Material Compatibility: Suitable for mounting on wood, brass, bronze, or stainless steel. Brass won’t cause corrosive reactions with fine hardwoods and is compatible with most fasteners – using brass screws is recommended for a fully non-magnetic, corrosion-uniform assembly.
• Maintenance: Requires little care for interior use – occasional wiping to maintain shine is sufficient. If installed outdoors, periodic cleaning and polishing of the chrome is advised to remove salt deposits and keep the finish sparkling.
