where can I buy weldable Aluminum hinge that is detachable?

admin

where can I find weldable hinge like the one in the photo? i think they are calledWeld-On Lift-Off Hingesthe studded aluminum panel's hinge can be removed by simply lifing upwards.i found these but they are quite different looking though they are similarhttp://www.mcmaster.com/#weld-on-hinges/=ksgkaohttp://www.mcmaster.com/#weld-on-hinges/=ksgl8nthanks for any helpthe reason I like the hinge in the photo is it is rather big so it si easy to attatch a big bulky 2x4' door using these hinges. The hinges from mcmaster have tigher tolerances and they are not as "user friendly" I'm thinking any lift off hinge with around a 1/4 to 1/2 diameter pin would work.Last edited by AluminumWelder; 12-28-2012 at 12:17 PM.

Reply:the labor to make such a hinge would obviously far out cost what it would be to buy it. and I did google it without luck.

Reply:Prefer aluminum, but will take steel if that is all that is available. If I get AL I can weld it. If I get steel I'll have to bolt it.
Reply:I'm sorry... but what you have pictured is very easy to make... unless you were to buy a large amount of them at once, but then you still have added expense of shipping...

Reply:@power & @comp chasis. thanks for the help. the issue with those things is they require pretty precise alighnment. I'll probably just get some and drill them out a bit so they are more user friendly. Taking 1/2 hr to make a $5 hinge as others have suggested is not really economical. Besides I don't have the machine/tools to cut out a nice round edge like the original photo shows.

Reply:Those look  like hinges the people who build those photobooths  came up with for there booths and probably made in house or had a large amount made for them since your trying to copy them you'll probably have to do the same350P 30A spool gun cut master 51  syncro 250 other stuff " take a dog off the street and make him prosper and he will not bite you sad the same cannot be said for man" i didnt use punctuation just to piss you off
Reply:Nope not copying the design and I'm coming up with something better.  the main structure is OK, but the electronics, especially how they have a printer rigged up is just a bad design. Ordered 4 different Mcmastercarr.com hinges. Nice thing is they ship out of Atlanta which is one day shipping via UPS to me.  I would be interested in learning how they made those hinges though? Were they stamped out by a stamping company with a metal die and then bent? Were they cut by hand individually. the round part looks very uniform, so I'm guessing a stamping company, but I'm not much of a machinest, so there's probably something I'm missing.Last edited by AluminumWelder; 12-30-2012 at 03:49 PM.
