Lift off or slip hinges are a varied group of hinges that are best identified as a male leaf (with a pin) and a female leaf (without a pin) that perform as a hinge where the door or lid is easily removable.
There are selection of parts that fall into this category of hinges including:
These hinges are available in a variety of materials. Most in plain steel. Lots in 302/304 stainless steel and a few in type 316 stainless steel or aluminum with a stainless steel pin. They are available from a small 1.5" long light duty slip hinge to a huge 10.5" long Weld On hinge.
