Installation and maintenance tips
- Pair with corrosion-resistant fasteners appropriate to your surface (wood, fiberglass, or light metal) to maximize longevity.
- Pre-drill evenly spaced holes to ensure smooth pivoting and reduce wear on the hinge knuckle.
- After exposure to salt spray, rinse with fresh water and dry to maintain that bright stainless look.
- Lubricate the pivot occasionally with a light marine-grade lubricant to keep swing action effortless.
