S/S DRYBOX HINGE
"After having to replace several sets of the plastic drybox hinges on other Engel Drybox/Coolers, I ordered the S/S Hinges when buying a New drybox/cooler. Don't know why they don't just install the S/S hinges especially given what they charge for a drybox/cooler!"
Great hinges! Great price!
"Great hinges. Nicely finished stainless steel with no sharp edges. Perfectly matches the front stainless steel latches. Makes one wonder why these aren’t standard on a $100 lunchbox. Hinges DO NOT come with additional screws, so if you lost your original screws when the plastic hinges broke, plan on spending more money searching for replacing them. And then the shipping really kills the deal. Shipping was fast, but expensive for such a small and light package. All in all, close to $20 to replace the hinges on a $100 lunchbox that should have come standard. I remember when these lunchboxes were available in sporting goods stores for $35 just a couple years ago. Engle should really think about making the stainless hinges standard after raising the prices almost 3x what they used to sell for."
Great stuff
"Bought cooler/dry box 10 years ago for my work lunch box. I work for railroad and we live out of these things. Hinges finally broke and gave up. Metal is by far better and easy to install. These coolers are priced high but you throw this thing around as much as i do and you'll be impressed"
Stainless hinge
"Hinge should have a stop point to eliminate stress on the screws from the weight of the lid. Or chest needs an internal strap to stop lid from going too far back."
Works
"Better than plastic"
Thanks

Replacment bait tank hinges
"I think I have one of the first Engle bait tanks in Texas. It has been used ALOT since 2010 or so. The plastic hinges finally gave way, and I did not want to throw it away. Ordered stainless replacments and now it is as good as new! We love Engle products!"
Hinges
"The quality is good and the price is fair. My only complaint is why doesn’t the cooler already come equipped with these hinges. Add $8 to the price of the cooler and give a better product to your consumer out of the box. I put these on a brand new cooler when I shouldn’t have to."
"Perfect fit"
