    Part of a hinge. A "L" rod shaped metal piece slipped into the left side of it.

    Re: something

    Its typically called a tiko clip...a multi-purpose machine stamped steel strap.

    Still made by Simpson and other various architectural product group manufacturers...

    Simpson makes a flat rustic strap that is almost identical (OS or OHS) which can be bent and shaped for many uses.

    Strap thing reminds me of corner braces for a door or heavy chest. Monty
