Plastic hinge Basetech BT-1697227 60×45×8 mm

Plastic hinge Basetech BT-1697227 60×45×8 mm is a compact, lightweight hinge designed for cabinets, small doors and storage boxes. Constructed from durable plastic, it offers resistance to corrosion and is intended for indoor, light-duty applications. The hinge provides a smooth pivoting action and installs with simple screw fixing into typical wood or composite panels. Its low profile and modest dimensions make it suitable where metal hinges are unnecessary or where a discreet, non-metallic solution is preferred.

The plastic construction prevents rust and reduces weight while maintaining functional rigidity for everyday use. Its compact 60×45×8 mm size allows installation in confined spaces and on narrow frame edges. The hinge’s smooth pivoting action ensures quiet operation and minimal maintenance. Simple screw mounting makes replacement and DIY installation straightforward without specialized tools.

• Repairing or assembling indoor cabinet doors
• Small furniture doors and hobby boxes
• DIY craft projects and light-duty joinery
• Applications where corrosion resistance and low weight are required

Key specifications

• Material: durable plastic
• Overall dimensions: 60 × 45 × 8 mm
• Mounting method: screw fixing
• Operation: pivot hinge providing smooth rotation
• Intended environment: indoor, light-duty use

How to use

Position the hinge on the door and frame to verify alignment and clearances, marking screw positions. Pre-drill pilot holes if working with hardwood or thin panels to prevent cracking, then secure the hinge with appropriate screws sized for the material thickness. Check the pivot action and adjust screw tightness to balance smooth movement with secure attachment. For paired hinges, install both and confirm even spacing so the door hangs squarely.

Usage recommendations

Use this plastic hinge for light indoor applications only; avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods and heavy loads to prevent deformation. Choose stainless or metal hinges for exterior use or where high load-bearing capacity is required. Regularly inspect mounting screws and tighten if necessary to maintain stable operation.
