Polished Stainless 316 Hinge 107x40mm – Standard & Reverse Version

This 107 mm stainless steel hinge impresses with its superb craftsmanship and striking mirror finish. Made from marine-grade AISI 316 steel and polished to a mirror sheen, it is both highly resistant to corrosion and aesthetically refined – enhancing the luxury appearance of any vessel. The hinge is intended for visible mounting, for example on cabin doors, cabinet lids, or deck hatches, where the quality of the hardware is on display. The polished inox not only protects the metal but also reflects the surroundings, blending elegantly with any design.

A special advantage of this model is that it comes in two versions – standard and reverse (mirror image). This means you can use a pair of hinges (one standard, one reverse) on a single door or hatch so that the screw countersinks face outward on both sides. For instance, on a door installation, you might put the standard hinge on one side and the reverse on the other – this way both hinges have screws whose heads are flush on the outward-facing side. This configuration not only looks symmetrical and professional, but also ensures all screws sit flush with the exterior surface, with no protrusions. The hinges allow a full ~180° swing and provide firm support when closed, with no sagging.

Installation is straightforward, using four screws per hinge. It’s recommended to use flat-head screws (these are typically included with the hinges) to make use of the countersunk holes. Once installed, the polished hinges add a final touch to the vessel’s appearance – they are often used on yachts where every hardware detail contributes to the overall high-end look. Of course, durability isn’t sacrificed for appearance – the 316 steel ensures that the hinges won’t rust or degrade, even with constant saltwater and sun exposure.

• Pair Installation: It’s recommended to use one standard hinge (code 01096) and one reverse hinge (code 01096-RV) for each door or hatch. This achieves a mirrored installation (left and right hinge) with screw heads properly oriented outward and a symmetric appearance.
• Ideal for Luxury Vessels: Polished hinges are favored on high-end yachts and powerboats where the hardware’s appearance matters. They complement polished railings, fittings, and accessories, underlining the premium quality of the vessel.
• Size & Application: The 107 mm size is suitable for medium-sized doors and hatches (e.g., a cabin door, wheelhouse window, service hatch), providing ample support and strength. It’s recommended for boats in the ~4–9 m range or larger for components with medium duty.
• Maximum Resilience: Thanks to the 316 material, these hinges withstand constant salt exposure without developing rust spots. Even after years of marine use, the polished stainless retains both its functionality and shine with minimal maintenance (just periodic cleaning).
