Hinges, Locks & Hardware

The wear interface of every opening panel: hood hinges, tailgate hinges (upper and lower), box locks, handles and latches for the Toyota Land Cruiser 40-Series and Land Rover Defender — including stainless steel upgrades that end the seized-pivot cycle for good.

Hardware first, panels second

A new door on worn hinges sags like the old one; a new tailgate on a stretched latch rattles like the old one. When you fit new panels, renew the hardware they swing on — it's the cheapest part of the job and determines how the expensive parts feel.

Stainless upgrades

Original hardware seized because plain steel pivots lived outdoors for fifty years. Our stainless hood hinges and fittings resist the corrosion that killed the originals while keeping the factory look and action.

Do hinges come with pins and bushes?

Supplied complete and ready to fit unless the listing states otherwise.

Will stainless hardware look original?

Profiles match the factory pressings; the metal is brighter until it weathers to a soft satin.
