Perko Strap Hinges
When durability meets craftsmanship in marine cabinet hardware, Perko strap hinges stand as a benchmark for quality and longevity. These Figure 0120 strap hinges are available in multiple sizes, designed specifically for the demanding conditions found on boats, docks, and marine structures where corrosion resistance is paramount.
Chrome Plated Bronze Construction
Perko's strap hinges feature chrome plated bronze construction, a material combination that provides exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion while maintaining the strength needed for heavy-use applications. The bronze base offers superior durability compared to stamped steel alternatives, while the chrome plating adds an additional layer of protection and a polished, professional appearance that resists tarnishing in harsh marine environments.
Versatile Marine Applications
These strap hinges excel in a variety of marine cabinet and access panel applications. Available in both right-hand and left-hand configurations, two of the same hand can be used for quick removal of hatches and motor covers, or one of each hand can be paired together as a heavy-duty hinge set. This versatility makes them ideal for applications ranging from engine compartment access doors to storage locker lids, galley cabinets, and deck boxes where frequent access is required.
A Century of American Manufacturing Excellence
Perko has been making hinges for over a century, building a reputation for marine-grade hardware that stands the test of time. All products are sourced from American-made raw materials, ensuring consistent quality control throughout the manufacturing process. The company's Miami facility handles everything from casting to chrome plating in-house, allowing them to maintain the exacting standards that marine professionals and boat owners have come to expect from the Perko name.
Specifications and Sizing
Perko strap hinges are available in sizes including 8-inch width when open, with a pin height of 1-1/8 inches, accommodating standard #10 screws for secure installation. The thoughtful engineering includes pre-drilled mounting holes positioned for optimal load distribution, reducing stress on both the hinge and the mounting surface. Whether you're restoring vintage marine hardware or outfitting a new build, these hinges provide the reliability that comes from generations of specialized marine manufacturing expertise.
