The Hatco 04.24.023.00 Hinge Pin is a mechanical fastening component used within Hatco equipment hinge assemblies. It passes through aligned hinge sections to create a pivot point, allowing the connected panel or door to move around the hinge axis. Proper positioning keeps the hinge components aligned while supporting repeated opening and closing movement. The pin works with surrounding hinge hardware rather than operating independently, making its dimensions and fit important for assembly compatibility.
