Strap Hinge
This strip may be narrow, but the weight it bears can be substantial
Strap hinges are elongated hinges that connect doors and gates to the jambs or posts that they swing on. They screw into the face of the door, assisting with the load.
Strap hinges are used for heavy or oversize objects.
Decorative "dummy" straps can be used where the look of a strap hinge is desired.
The shiny strap hinges on these cabinets are similar to vintage icebox hinges before refrigeration became popular.
Strap hinges can be decorative and structural at the same time.
