Baier has manufactured flush deck marine hatches with built in hinges for 50 years. Baier is a pioneer in the industry with simple serviceable hinge design. Their newest hinge concept features a fully concealed underside hinge that lay flat on the deck and lock in place at an over-center position to prevent accidental closure. It is the first hinged hatch that allows it to be easily operated from the underside of the hatch and not fall freely to the deck. All of Baier's commercial marine flush deck hatches, have set the standard for the industry since 1947 when Baier was awarded its first patent for innovative design. Baier was the first flush deck marine hatch manufacturer to receive American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and US Coast Guard certification. Today, Baier Flush Deck hatches are employed on all types of fishing boats, tugs, barges, rescue boats, and other marine vessels in both military and private sectors.
