Today we're going to be taking a look at the wide bracket strap hinge from Polar Hardware. This is for use on trailer and truck bodies. It's made from a polished stainless steel construction. It's very strong and durable, as well as corrosion and rust resistant. The bracket area right here, or the strap, that's going to have three mount holes on it. It's going to feature a non-removable center pin right here for maximum security.
The overall length of the unit, measuring from edge to edge, we're going to take a quick look at that. Overall length, we're looking at a measurement about 11 1/8" long. The strap length itself, measuring from the center of the hinge to the end of the strap, that's going to give us a measurement of right around 8". The strap width, that's going to measure 2" wide. The distance between the mount holes on the strap, those are going to measure 2 7/16" on center. They're going to have a diameter of 5/16".
All the mount holes have a diameter of 5/16". Mounting hardware's not included. We're going to take a look at the hinge portion right here, that's going to measure 4 1/2" wide. If we take a measurement of the depth of that, measuring from this point right here to the end, we're looking at about 2 5/8". If we go from the center to the end, we're looking at a measurement of about 3 1/8". The mount holes on that portion are going to be separated on center by 3 1/4".
The distance that we have from these holes to this hole, going at a straight line measurement right here, that's going to measure about 1 3/8". Then diagonally, center on center, we're looking at 2 1/8". That's going to do it for today's look at the wide bracket strap from Polar Hardware.

Nothing like stainless steel in a hinge, this hinge is good quality, tight tolerances. This hinge looks like 3/16 thick metal, the hinge shaft doesn’t move, the metal folds around the fixed shaft with spacing washers on each side. There is no vinyl sleeve to get worn, but also no grease fitting, although plenty of space to put grease and oil in around the movement. The hinge is tight to the movement even after oiled, but it’s made for a heavy door. I installed 3 hinges on a trailer ramp door, they articulated just fine. I’m very happy with these hinges. In the picture, I cut off the lower mounting hole to make a better fit.
Very stiff. Hard to open

You can definitely use WD-40 to make it less stiff.
