  A-Board locking hinges

  Posted by Kev Mayger on 22 August 2011 at 09:13

  Morning all

  Does anyone know where I can get the hinges that go on the side of A-Boards to stop them collapsing?

  Thanks

  Kev

  Kev,

  Try asking any a boards manufacturer, like roto signs or many others form the Sign Toolbar.

  Some where like a hardware store or ironmongers would probably be your best bet for something like that Kev, not just used for A boards so an online search might throw something up.
  Think Jag did the Top hinges for making a boards but not sure if they also do the side ones your looking for.

  Search for ‘ locking stays’ or ‘cam locking stays’ as Martin said Ironmongers or Hardware store.

  Kev, flippin heck this was harder than I thought it would be lol.

  Anyway if you haven’t been able to find them yet then try searching for lid stay or joint stay, had the best results with those. :lol1: :lol1:
