Igloo Replacement Cooler Hinges, Stainless Steel pair with 8 screws, 2-1/2 x 1-1/4 in

These Igloo 24005 replacement hinges are a pair of rust-resistant stainless-steel hinges with mounting screws designed to restore the lid action on most 25–165 quart rectangular Igloo coolers.

If a worn or broken hinge has left your cooler lid loose, misaligned, or difficult to open and close, the Igloo 24005 hinge kit provides an easy, durable fix. The set contains two stainless-steel hinges plus eight hi-low thread stainless screws, engineered to match the original fit for many rectangular Igloo coolers. Because they're made from stainless steel, they resist corrosion from wet conditions and repeated outdoor use.

Will these hinges fit my Igloo cooler?

These hinges are designed to fit most rectangular Igloo coolers in the 25–165 quart range. They match the original mounting footprint and hinge size commonly used across Igloo models, but measuring your cooler first removes doubt.

• Compatible with many 25–165 quart rectangular Igloo coolers
• Hinge dimensions: 2-1/2 inches x 1-1/4 inches
• Includes two hinges to replace both lid attachment points
• Check your cooler’s existing hinge size and screw pattern before purchase

How do I install the replacement hinges?

Installation is straightforward with basic hand tools: remove the damaged hinge, position the new hinge, and drive the supplied screws through the mounting holes. The kit comes with eight stainless hi-low thread screws so you can fasten both hinges securely without sourcing hardware separately.

• Tools needed: screwdriver or drill with appropriate bit
• Use the supplied eight stainless steel screws (hi-low thread) for secure mounting
• Replace one hinge at a time to keep the lid supported
• Align hinge holes with existing cooler holes or mark and pre-drill if necessary

What makes these hinges durable for outdoor use?

The hinges are stainless steel, which gives them strong resistance to rust and wear in damp, marine, or high-humidity environments. The material and design are chosen to withstand repeated opening and closing cycles typical for camping, boating, tailgating, or backyard use.

• Stainless-steel construction reduces corrosion over time
• Robust metal hinge plate resists bending under load
• Hi-low thread screws grip into plastic cooler walls securely
• Designed to restore original lid alignment and operation

What should I check before buying replacement hinges?

Confirm your cooler’s model or measure the old hinge so the 2-1/2" x 1-1/4" dimension and screw pattern match. If your cooler is non-rectangular or outside the 25–165 quart range, verify compatibility to avoid returns.

• Measure old hinge or existing hole spacing to confirm fit
• Verify cooler quart size and shape—intended for rectangular 25–165 qt models
• Inspect cooler wall thickness—hi-low screws are designed for plastic cooler walls
• Keep original fasteners or compare to supplied screws if unsure

Who this is for: This hinge kit is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, boaters, fishermen, and anyone who wants a reliable, long-lasting replacement for broken or corroded Igloo cooler hinges. It’s a practical DIY part for restoring lid function without buying a new cooler, and it suits users who prefer stainless-steel hardware for longevity in wet or coastal environments.
