Common Concerns Answered
Are fasteners included with this hinge?
Fasteners are not included with the Whitecap Offset Hinge and must be purchased separately. We recommend #8 FH (flat head) fasteners for optimal installation.
Is the finish consistent with other stainless steel hardware?
While crafted from high-grade 304 stainless steel, slight variations in finish may occur compared to other stainless steel hardware components. This is a common characteristic of manufactured stainless steel products and does not impact performance.
Why is this hinge more expensive than non-stainless steel options?
The premium price reflects the superior durability and corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel, essential for longevity in marine environments. The specialized offset design further enhances its value for specific clearance requirements, justifying the investment over standard or non-offset alternatives.
