Light Strap Hinge for Wide Surfaces
The National Manufacturing Co. 4 In. Zinc Light Strap Hinge comes in a two-pack and suits barn doors, shed doors, storage bins, tool boxes and gates. It is built for wide mounting surfaces where a standard butt hinge would not cover enough area. The light-duty rating means it is intended for lighter panels rather than heavy structural doors.
Offset Holes and Tight Pin Constraints
Offset screw holes are designed to reduce wood splitting when fasteners are driven near the edge of the mounting surface. The tight pin allows the hinge to work on either right-hand or left-hand openings without modification. Screws are not included with the boxed loose version, so the installer must supply #7 fasteners separately.
4-Inch Width and Zinc-Plated Steel
The hinge measures 4 inches wide by 1-1/4 inches high and is made of steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. This width determines whether the leaf covers the intended mounting surface on the door or gate. Buyers needing a narrower or heavier-duty hinge should select a different model.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 280BC or V280 series for my barn door?
Both model numbers refer to the same light-duty strap hinge; the 280BC is the catalog designation while V280 is the retail SKU, so either will fit the 4-inch width and 1-1/4-inch height specification.
What does the 4-inch width mean once the hinge is mounted on a shed door?
The 4-inch measurement is the overall strap length from the pin centre to the far mounting hole, giving you that much surface contact on the door or gate frame.
How does the #7 screw size affect what fasteners I can use?
The hinge is drilled for #7 screws, so you must use matching #7 wood or sheet-metal screws; larger diameters will not seat in the offset holes and smaller ones reduce holding power.
