Video Transcript for Polar Hardware Enclosed Trailer Parts - Doors - PLR2216 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the square corner hinge with reverse bracket for trailers. This is going to allow for 270 degree door swing. It's made from a very sturdy steel construction. It's going to have a zinc plating on it so it's very strong and durable. It's going to be rust and corrosion resistant. You'll want to mount this on the corner of the trailer to allow for full door swing. It's going to feature a non-removable pin for maximum security right here in the hing. If we take a measurement of the strap width, going this direction edge to edge we're looking at a measurement of around two inches.
If we take a measurement of the strap length, what I'm doing to get this measurement is I'm measuring from the back of the flat side here of the hinge to the end of the strap. You can see that's where we're going to get our 16 inch mark. It's also very close to the center of that non-removable pin out to the end of the strap around 16 inches. Overall length, if I go to the back of the hinge to the end of the strap, we're looking at a measurement a little bit closer to 16 and 1/2, 16 and 5/8, right in that area. Right here on the hinge there's going to be 2 mount holes. These mount holes are going to be separated apart from one another on center, looks to be 3 and 1/4 inches.
The hinge edge to edge that's going to give us a measurement of 4 and 1/2 inches. If we measure this direction, we're looking at a measurement of, from this point here to the back we're looking at about 2 and 1/8 of an inch. The holes on the hinge, those are going to have a diameter of 3/8 of an inch. Then you can see how that allows the unit to swing, so it's got a rotating design. If we take a measurement of the holes here on the strap, these are actually going to be separated on center, so there a hole right here, so center of that hole to center of this hole is 5 and 5/8.
Center of this hole to center to center of this hole is also 5 and 5.8. Then those are going to have a diameter of 5.16 of an inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the square corner hinge with a reverse bracket.

Mount a door to the corner of your trailer with this square corner hinge with an extra-long 16" strap. Reversible bracket can be used on left- or right-hand doors. Non-removable pin ensures maximum security to keep your cargo safe.by: John02/15/2020
I am converting a 5 x 8 cargo trailer into a tear drop type camper. The trailer came with a ramp, which is not practical my use. I wanted to convert the ramp to a side swing door. I ordered the 16" hinge to provide as much support as possible. I built a new frame, re-used the outer skin & trim and installed the door using the hinges. To say I'm happy with the result and how the hinges work is an understatement! The project came out better than I had hoped and the hinges were the perfect choice.
Comments
They have been working great. I mounted a 5000 btu window air conditioner in the door and there has been no sagging because the hinges support 13 the width of the door.

Your hinges were modified for a trailer with a wide door. The hinges have held up great. Short clip shows the door on the trailer.

- Mounting Hole Spacing on 16 Inch Polar Trailer Door Corner HingeYou can actually see the mounting hole dimensions of the Polar trailer door hinge, part # PLR2216, measured in the video that I linked for you. I went out to the warehouse and measured them again just to verify it as well. Between the two holes on the bracket is 3-1/4 inches. Then the holes on the strap are spaced 5-5/8 inches between each other.

- Why Doesn't Square Corner Hinge with Reverse Bracket Include Mounting HardwareCorner Hinge with Reverse Bracket # PLR2216 does not include the mounting hardware. The reason for this is primarily because different mounting surfaces will require different mounting hardware. So you would source the appropriate hardware locally to match the material the surface is made of.
view full answer... - Will Polar Hinge # PLR2216 Support a Ramp Door?The Square Corner Hinge with Reverse Bracket - Zinc Plated Steel - 16" # PLR2216 are not rated for a weight limit. For a ramp door, I recommend instead using the Ramp Door Hinge - Steel # PLR1902 which is a much thicker metal and a stronger pin. This is designed for that function and needs to be welded in place. The Square corner hinge although easier to install would risk hardware failing as they aren't designed to hold weight beyond the door itself.
view full answer... - Replacement Strap Hinge for Enclosed Cargo TrailerIt looks like the closest thing that we have to that design is the Square Corner T-Strap Hinge w/ Reverse Bracket # PLR4040, but if that doesn't work we do have a wide variety of other hinge straps that may work for your application like the part # PLR2216. I have attached a link to our selection of replacement strap hinges for you to check out.

- Distance Between Mounting Holes on the Square Corner Hinge with Reverse Bracket PLR2216-SSPThe width of the mounting holes on the hinge of the # PLR2216-SSP are 3-1/4 inches like yours. The 3 holes on the strap are separated by 5-5/8 inches on center between all three of them. It looks like you would need to redrill the holes of your trailer door to get this to fit, but aside from that it would work just fine.
view full answer... - Difference Between Mounting Holes for Polar Square Corner Hinge with Reverse BracketFrom the door mounting hole for the Square Corner Hinge with Reverse Bracket # PLR2216-SSP to the first mounting hole for the door measures about 2" as you can see in the attached photo. If you were referencing a different measurement please let me know and I can assist further.

- Polar 16 Inch Square Corner Hinge Weight CapacityI reached out to Polar and they don't rate their hinges for weight capacity. Most of the time they recommend using 2 to 4 hinges per door for an enclosed trailer. For a Square Corner Hinge with Reverse Bracket - Aluminum - 16" # PLR2216-AS, they simply say the more weight, the more hinges needed.
view full answer... - Hinge for Butterfly Gate That Allows 270 Degree SwingWhile we do have a hinge that is going to let you have a gate that swings to the inside of the trailer and to the outside for a 270 degree swing, the hinges you referred to would not allow that type of movement. Instead, you will need what is called a square corner hinge, and you have a couple of different options based on the length and metal construction you want. The following options are below and I have added links to video reviews for you as well. - Square Corner Hinge with Reverse...

- Dimensions Of The Over The Seal Strap Hinge # PLR2116-SSThe hole dimensions for the Over the Seal Strap Hinge are as follows. From the center of the hinge to the holes going down the shaft is 3-1/2", 9", and 14-1/2" respectively. So the measurement you're looking for is about 3 inches from the center of the hinge to the end of the bend. From the center of the hinge to the three holes on the bracket are 1-1/4" for both the top and bottom holes while 2-1/2" for the center hole. We do not modify, these are sold as is. We do have an aluminum one...
view full answer... - Replacement Hinges for 5 x 10 Enclosed TrailerFor replacement hinges we have a few options depending on the material and rotation you are looking for. For example, the Square Corner T-Strap Hinge w/ Reverse Bracket # PLR2216-SSP is stainless steel and rotates 270 degrees. There are some other 180 degree options and aluminum construction as well. The same holds true for the 12" long hinges like the Square Corner Hinge with Reverse Bracket - Polished Stainless Steel - 12" # PLR2212-SSP. I have attached two different links below for...
view full answer... - Replacement Stainless Steel T-Strap Hinges For Enclosed TrailerThe closest thing we have to what you are asking for is the T-Strap Hinge for Side and Rear Trailer Doors - 16" Long - Stainless Steel # PLR3416-SS. We don't have any 14 inch hinges, but we do have this stainless steel option in 16 inch or the Square Corner Hinge with Reverse Bracket - Polished Stainless Steel - 16" # PLR2216-SSP. Your other option is to go to a 12 inch hinge like the Over the Seal Hinge - Narrow Bracket - Polished Stainless Steel - 12" # PLR2512-SSP or Square Corner...
view full answer... - How Does the Camco RV Grill Mounting Rail Part # CAM57268 WorkThe Camco RV Grill Mounting Rail part # CAM57268 is designed to be used with a rail on an RV grill like the Faulkner BBQ Grill part # FR51323. You would need to obtain a bracket similar to that on the grill and attach that to the table as the Camco RV Grill Mounting Rail cannot be mounted to one another. In order to mount your table to the side of your camper you may be better suited with a hinge like part # PLR2216-SSP and hasp like part # ML702D.
