About The Series
The 700 series shutter strap hinge is the most economical formed strap hinge produced. A heavy press forms the hinge from a 3/16" thick flat steel bar...BLAM. The edges are smoothed, the hinge barrel, holes, and offset are then applied. The finished piece has the general shape of early strap hinges, but lacks the forge texture and three-dimensionality of other available series.
What is Standoff?
There are two schools of thought on a technical specification:
- Hinge Standoff is the measurement from the hinge back to the middle of the hinge knuckle.
- Pintle Standoff is the measurement from the plate back to the middle of the pintle barrel.
- These two measurements when combined create the Offset
- Other manufacturers and suppliers substitute standoff with offset. Either term aside, the hinge and pintle, when installed, combine to hang your open shutter clear of the window jamb and surface of the building.
