Description
The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N146-043 is a light narrow hinge designed for lightweight door, cabinet, and panel applications where a low-profile pivot point is required. Each hinge measures 1.5 inches by 1.4375 inches and is constructed from zinc for corrosion resistance in standard interior environments. The pack includes two hinges and all necessary mounting screws. A tight pin design keeps the pin permanently secured in the barrel, preventing removal and maintaining hinge integrity over time. This hardware is typically installed by carpenters, finish trim contractors, and maintenance technicians working on interior millwork and cabinetry.
This hinge is suited for residential and light commercial interior applications including small cabinet doors, lightweight interior doors, crafts, and utility panels. Its narrow leaf width makes it a practical fit in situations where a standard-width hinge leaf would be too wide for the mounting surface or visible edge. The two-pack format supports single-door installations that require a standard two-hinge layout.
Key Features
- Zinc construction provides corrosion resistance for interior use
- Compact 1.5 x 1.4375 inch profile fits narrow mounting surfaces
- Tight pin design permanently secures the pin within the barrel

Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hinge for lightweight interior cabinet doors, small utility panels, and similar narrow-edge applications where a 1.5-inch leaf hinge is specified.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by carpenters or maintenance technicians using a standard screwdriver or drill driver. Mark hinge mortise locations accurately before fastening to ensure proper door alignment. Power is not a consideration for this mechanical hardware, but all fasteners should be fully seated to prevent hinge movement under load. Follow applicable building or cabinetry specifications for hinge quantity and placement based on door weight and height.
