Solid Brass 1-9/16" Side Rail Hinges (Pair) with Screws

Finally a high quality polished brass side rail hinge that's affordable. This hinge is comparable to the the Highpoint side rail hinge at one third the price. It's the same size and it has a very nice polished brass finish. (the photo on the listing doesn't do it justice). I've been making small to medium sized boxes for many years and have been trying to find a side rail hinge that would make my boxes more affordable. Bingo!

Not as good as highpoint or brusso , but good value. $$ The provided screws are way too small. You will need # 4 screws, 1/2 inch or 3/8 inch depeding on the hardness of the wood. The softer, the longer. I used several pair of hinges and made a plexiglass template to rout the wood for the hinges. I would recommend using a threaded gimlet to pre thread the wood holes. Brass screw break real easy.I used a cross slide vice to make the plexiglss template and 1/4 inch metal milling bits. inletting the hinges is not a rookie move. look on Brusso site for template ideas . make the template at least 2 inches bigger than the router base, for clamping.Several weeks later installing hinges. They vary in lenght, just enough to make it interesting and cause misaligned box tops , if you do not adjust hinge cut out. Out of 7 pair I have one pair that was defective, they will not open. I used a # 53 drill for the hinges. Do yourself a favor, buy a set of number drills.

I wanted some special hinges for a special project, an urn for my friends son. They worked out amazing. So much so that I ordered 6 more sets for other boxes I am working on. Great fit and finish.

Nice quality hinges except for the screw head diameter was a lot smaller than the countersink.

Very well made. Love that it sits just beyond 90 degrees so the box lid sits open. Nice finish.

Make no mistake, these hinges are extremely light weight for only the lightest boxes. The first time I opened a jewelry box, a hinge snapped.

Works fine

These are small and delicate. Especially the screws. Very easy to break the heads off if you over tighten, which I did. 😫 Otherwise nice quality for the right application.
