Flip hinge for locker stop 65×23 mm – code: 38.981.00 – Osculati

Flip-up locker hinge Osculati 65×23 mm (code 38.981.00)

La hinge with flap lock for locker Osculati is a hardware component designed for edge applications and for all those contexts where it is necessary to create or restore a flip-up opening system on doors, hatches or small compartments. The size 65×23 mm makes it suitable for installations where a compact footprint and a neat solution are required, integrable in many locker and panel configurations.

Identifying data

• Brand / supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 38.981.00
• Type: hinge with flap lock for locker
• Dimensions: 65×23 mm

Construction and integration

The hinge is designed to be integrated into typical flip-up opening systems of lockers. When choosing, it is advisable to check:

• the available space on the panel and on the fixing structure;
• the opening geometry (flip direction and hinge position);
• the dimensional compatibility with any holes or marks already present in case of replacement.

When working on refitting or maintenance, identification by code (38.981.00) helps reduce uncertainties and maintain uniformity among installed components.

Typical applications

This locker hinge is used in many situations where a panel must open upwards and remain manageable during use. In the nautical and technical hardware context, it is commonly used for:

• Lockers and storage compartments with flip-up doors;
• Hatches and access panels to systems or inspections;
• Technical doors in service areas, where a solution dedicated to flip-up is useful;
• Restorations on existing installations, when it is necessary to replace a worn hinge while maintaining size and type.

It is a solution suitable for both new installations and maintenance interventions, where choosing a specific flip-up hinge can simplify the management of the opening and improve the order of the installation.

Advantages in maintenance and outfitting

Quick selection and easier spare parts

• Clear product code (38.981.00) for reorders and spare parts management.
• Declared size (65×23 mm) useful for comparisons with existing components.
• Specific type “flip-stop hatch” to avoid improper replacements with generic hinges.

Neat installation

A dedicated flip hinge allows for a clean installation consistent with the intended use of the panel. In particular, when doors and hatches are frequently opened, choosing an appropriate component helps preserve the compartment's functionality and reduce corrective interventions due to unsuitable components.

Usage and operational notes

To achieve a correct result, it is important to consider the hinge as part of a system: panel, mounting structure, opening direction, and alignments. Below are some general guidelines (not a substitute for good installation practices):

Before installation

• Check clearances: check that the 65×23 mm size is compatible with the available space and the intended position.
• Check alignment: evaluate the hinge position relative to the panel edge and the rebate, for a regular flip.
• Replacement on existing: if you are replacing a component, compare dimensions and mounting footprint to minimize adjustments.

During assembly

• Consistent positioning: install the hinge so that the flip occurs in the desired direction and without interference.
• Proper fastening: choose screws and supports based on the panel and structure material (wood, composite, metal), following industry best practices.
• Functional test: before completing the installation, check the opening/closing and any need for fine adjustments.

Maintenance

In a marine environment, it is good practice to periodically inspect the hardware of compartments, especially if subject to frequent use. A visual and functional check helps identify any play, misalignments, or tightening needs in time, keeping the compartment opening smooth and neat.
