High-Quality T-Hinges for Industrial and Commercial Applications

Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products (SPEP) sells business-to-business (B2B). We’re the experts in supporting OEM customers with high-quality industrial hardware, like T-hinges. We are a perfect match for any company that uses high volumes of parts and/or is a repeat producer of products that require hinges, latches, handles, locks, and other similar items.

Our engineering, manufacturing, and distribution strengths provide a valuable resource to our customers. We regularly assist in product development, product improvement, and developing supply chain programs to service the demand of our customers.

No, SPEP does not sell T-hinges to the public, as we are not a retail establishment. We sell business-to-business (B2B) only. If you need a source for SPEP products in small quantities, we encourage you to visit our partner, Hard-To-Find Hardware at www.HTFHardware.com.

Yes! SPEP is ISO 9001:2015 certified. You can learn more about this on the About Us page of our website.

T-hinges are a heavy-duty hardware option named for their shape (like the letter “T”). Highly-durable, they’re designed to support large doors, gates, and panels. The long, narrow strap provides added strength and stability, while the shorter mounting plate allows for easy attachment to fixed surfaces.

Industrial T-hinges are used in a variety of industries, and are especially beneficial for any business that works with heavy-duty doors, gates, or panels. You may be able to benefit if you work in:

• Public transportation
• Trailer manufacturing
• Motor sports/utility
• Service/working trucks
• Woodworking
• Shed manufacturing
• Crating
• Power generation

And more!

In total, SPEP offers more than a dozen different types and styles of T-hinges, including five light-duty products and nine heavy-duty hinges.

All of our T-hinges are manufactured from high-grade steel, which makes them highly durable, easy to install, and free from structural defects. Many of our T-hinges are also zinc-plated to guard against corrosion and maximize their service life.

For projects that require exceptional durability and performance, customers should consider SPEP’s T-hinges equipped with thermoplastic Delrin bushings. These enhance our T-hinges' wear resistance and durability, while reducing friction and preventing creaking.

At SPEP, we offer a variety of T-hinge materials and finishes that can be customized to your unique business needs. Choose from these materials:

• Steel: Cost-effective and strong, this option is perfect for general-purpose use in low-moisture environments.
• Stainless Steel: More corrosion-resistant and durable, stainless steel is great for harsh or outdoor conditions.

Available finishes for steel T-Hinges:

• Zinc-Plated: Offers basic corrosion resistance and a smooth appearance.
• Black: Provides a sleek, low-profile look with a protective coating.
• Passivated: Enhances stainless steel corrosion resistance.
