The Universal Hinges with Built‑In Stop – Weld‑On – 1/4″ Steel give fabricators a strong, reliable set of Hinges designed for drum smokers, tank smokers, and custom pit builds. Because these Hinges are laser cut from 1/4″ thick steel, they deliver long‑term durability, smooth door movement, and dependable performance on heavy lids. As a result, builders get a clean, controlled door swing that protects the smoker and improves overall usability.

You’ll notice how stable the door feels once these Hinges are installed. The built‑in stop prevents the lid from opening too far, which helps protect the tank and keeps the door easy to manage during cooks. Since the Hinges are weld‑on, they become a permanent part of the pit, eliminating the shifting or loosening that can happen with bolt‑on hardware. This makes them ideal for 55‑gallon drum smokers or tanks around 22″ in diameter, where lid weight and alignment matter.

Each hinge is precision laser cut for consistent fitment. The thick steel body resists warping, bending, and long‑term heat cycles. Because the Hinges include hardware, installation stays straightforward. Fabricators can weld the hinge bodies directly to the smoker door and frame, attach the hardware, and get a clean, professional‑grade result.

These Hinges work well across a wide range of builds. Whether you’re upgrading an existing smoker or fabricating a new pit from scratch, the weld‑on design gives you the strength and stability needed for heavy doors. The built‑in stop also helps maintain safe, controlled movement, which is especially useful for backyard smokers, competition pits, and custom fabrication projects where reliability matters.

If you want Hinges that blend strength, precision, and long‑term durability, these Universal Weld‑On Hinges with Built‑In Stop deliver exactly that. They’re rugged, consistent, and built to support serious pit builds.
