Comments about Fold Away Hinge Kits:
When I moved into my new place, the trailer didn't quite fit in the garage. With a cutoff wheel, several drill bits, and this device, it now fits! Does take some time and manpower to install, but it is straightforward. I have put many miles on the trailer and it is still very tight. Haven't had it near saltwater, but have used it extensively on salted winter roads and the finish is still great. Wish the rest of my galvanized parts looked this good still.
Comments about Fold Away Hinge Kits:
This is exactly what I needed to fit my boat in the garage. Took a while to drill 12 1/2" holes in my trailer but it works beautifully.

Comments about Fold Away Hinge Kits:
Good product and easy to install with some minor help...[...] Also- you only need a 1/2 drill bit, so dont bother with the instructions!! Took about 3 total hours and seems to work well...
