Torpedo Hinges

Postby Gern Blanston » Sun Apr 16, 2006 10:38 am

Austin Hardware Torpedo Hinges
No. 7-04132

Loose joint-die-cast hinge

Made for heavier doors. They come in right and left hand configuration. $10.99 ea., and you'll need two per door.

Madjack already gave this link:

Here are the hinges on one of our trailers:

Besides being strong and rather pretty, these hinges allow the quick removal and installation of the door. We plan to make a third door for the trailer which will have an air conditioner installed. That way, the AC and 3rd door can be stowed for travel, but quickly installed when needed.

I'm still looking for the part nos. to the door & hatch latches (keyed together) we used that also came from Austin Hdwe.

Nobody wrote:Thanks MJ, that's the answer I was hopin' for :thumbsup: . Now I'm just hopin' the other builders here haven't made such a 'rush' on the supply at Austin that they're now 'outta stock' :roll: . I'd been plannin' to use the standard square RV inset locksets but at 30 bucks per, plus shipping, I've been kinda holding off hopin' for a miracle :worship: . Maybe this is it 8) .


That might be the ones I'm wanting. Rickxr2 at Beavers Bend has those, and I really liked them because they have a 2nd bolt on them. Being a single gal, that appealled to me. sorry no big at this time, I'll find something when I get home. Austin hdwe , about $30 each but I'm saving $$ in other places.
