They are different, yes, but they are the same. A search for original type hinges did not turn up any results. There is even a way to get to As far as I know, they fit the screw pattern and work fine, but we will have to see how long they last. It has been 6 months since I had any problems.
Coolers are excellent and Igloo is a great company to work with
While the hinges are different, the screw holes line up and the hinges fit even though they are a different design from those on my older cooler.
Center to center are only a hair under one 7/8th of an inch for me

One of their openings lasted only a few days. A design that is inherently inferior and inadequate. As a result, I will not even request a refund, because I don't like the follow-up Your review gets rewritten every time someone tries to change it. It's technically not a hinge, because these are not hinges at all. The middle of the plastic is thinner than the rest of the piece. First, the hinge is very fatigue-prone, so it is not going to last long as you use it more. If this continues, the hinge is likely to break. Due to the thinner material that forms the bend, any stress caused by the bend can cause it to disintegrate As you can see in the picture, it has I wonder if you ever wonder how long does the hinge last? I would say about one Using it for the first time caused it to tear in half. Hinge positions were all aligned and there was no There are very few hinges available for larger Igloo coolers, so if you must replace a hinge on your cooler, you may have trouble finding one. It is common for the holes in the hinge to be out of alignment with the holes in the cooler and you will not want to drill new holes in your cooler to fit the smaller hinge holes since they would be too close together and not provide much I tried again after my first attempt. There were issues with the hole size when I tried to use the stainless steel hinges purchased on Amazon. You already know how it turned out, as it was the second time. Those firehouse candles I saw on Amazon made from recycled materials seem to be the ones I will try. In the past, I have seen heavy leather straps work well, but I have been unsuccessful in finding Those in the firehouse should work the same and if there are any holes that are slightly off, you can enlarge them and add a My best wishes are with you. When I have gotten the results, I will write a post.
original Igloo hinges were much more sturdy and robust but the new ones are not as good as the originals. Having said that, I would say they function well (form, fit, and Take a look at the pictures to see the.
It is fairly easy to install, but I do not believe that my unit works properly as instructed. This product has been giving me several problems but I have not yet received a reply. As the battery charges with the solar charger, it is supposed to flash red slowly. Faster than the slow flashing about every one second, it flashes red every half second instead of every one second. I only have about five seconds. A battery that is fully charged does not turn green. As a result, it continues to flash red rapidly. Yet I have not heard back from them about why. A faulty controller is probably to blame for the problem. Five good batteries have been used to test the device, so the batteries themselves are not the.
A hinge was broken on our old Igloo "70" cooler, so we replaced it with this one, and it worked perfectly! The first week has been good (great, in fact The hinges fit perfectly, screws went in easily, no issues, and the door is securely closed. From the description I expected to receive exactly what I received. There are no genuine hinges here, as shown in the photo - instead, these are simply guides. Like plastic 'attachers', they attach the items to the frame. The cooler functions well and looks just great (white plastic, blends in with our cooler top so far. It's been in our family for a long time, but we only open and close the lid occasionally (lets say we open and close it 8 times in a busy month)- There is no heavy use or abuse of this product. It is hoped that the hinge it will last a bit longer. There are two more hinges comes in this pack in case it doesn't, so I can replace a few more screws. I find this approach to be effective We would be able to purchase a new 70 quart cooler for considerably less than that.
I ordered these hinges on June 28th, 2018 however, they will not work. Although I thought at the time I ordered them that they would be great, after using the cooler I installed them on for about five to six times, both hinges broke. Despite my expectations, they were not the quality of hinges that I thought they would be, and I thought they should have lasted more than 5 or 6 times of easy use. No way would I order from this website.
They were actually hinges, they are better than the originals. Using a rod to connect two pieces. The quality of these is much less and they are cheaper. In addition, I had to find different screws to use that would fit in the cooler screw holes because they were partially stripped. Having the cooler fixed makes me happy, even though I wish that the hinges were still as strong and solid as they were when it came with the cooler.
In keeping with our promises, the package came with three hinges and enough screws to make both hinges work. A Phillips head screwdriver was all that was needed for the replacement. As a result, I have a set of backup hinges (one of the old ones I had was still in good shape) if the one I put on today fails. This is a good.
I think these are a waste of time. It would have been nice to return them but the seller does not accept returns. Probably should have paid attention to that, but I don't remember ever having a problem returning to Amazon. It was expected that there would be an actual hinge, with two pieces attached to each other and a rotating axle connecting the halves. The hinges from the originals are like that. Located on the hinge side of the door, these hinges are made of a single piece of plastic with a thin center section. The reason I can't return them is because they have to stay in place, so I will install them, but I don't expect them to last very long. The recommendation is not to use.
