- Questions

What size hinges do I need for my cabin door?

Hinge size depends on door weight and dimensions on the Gold Coast. Lightweight locker doors use 38-50mm hinges, standard cabin doors need 75mm hinges, and heavy solid doors require 100mm hinges throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Use at least three hinges on doors over 1 metre tall for proper weight distribution. Match hinge strength to door weight and expected usage.

Should I use butt hinges or piano hinges for hatches?

Butt hinges suit most cabin doors and smaller hatches on the Tweed Coast, using 2-3 hinges per door. Piano hinges provide continuous support along the entire edge, ideal for long hatches, engine covers, and panels requiring even load distribution. Piano hinges cost more but eliminate sagging on wide or heavy lids throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland.

Why should I choose stainless steel over brass hinges?

Stainless steel hinges, particularly 316 grade, offer superior corrosion resistance in saltwater environments on the Gold Coast compared to brass or chrome-plated steel. Cast bronze hinges suit traditional aesthetics and resist corrosion well but cost more. Avoid chrome-plated hinges as the plating fails quickly in marine conditions, causing rust and binding.

How do I prevent hinge pins from corroding and seizing?

Choose quality 316 stainless steel hinges with proper pin retention on the Tweed Coast. Rinse hinges with freshwater periodically, lubricate pins annually with marine grease, and inspect for corrosion regularly. Replace hinges showing pin corrosion before they seize completely. Quality marine hinges with proper maintenance operate smoothly for decades in saltwater conditions.
