Mini Hinges for Wood Box Jewelry Box 90 Degree Golden Box Hinge Jewelry Box Hinge with Screws - 12 Pack - Bronze

Very surprised. Like them so much ordered the Brass and steel ones. Easy to install. Use a 6mm router bit.

I used the "gold" colored ones for a music box I just finished for my granddaughter. At .23" in width they're a very nice fit in a mortise made with a 1/4" bit, contrary to some other reviews I read here. That's 1/100 of an inch of clearance on each side of the hinge! I wouldn't want it any tighter than that! I noticed that a few of them didn't open quite a full 90 degrees when first taken out of the package but after being worked back and forth a couple times they went just past 90 like they should so I assume a bit of whatever they are finished with got in the hinge and needed to work loose. This was only on a couple of them though out of a pack of 24 hinges. I had no problem running the tiny screws with a jewelers screwdriver by fist poking a bit of a hole with a small point then applying paste wax to the threads (in my case it was in myrtle wood that's not super hard. May be an issue in very hard material.Overall, not a bad way to go for small box making. I've used high dollar quadrant hinges and that'd be the way to go for super premium work but they're expensive and fussy and these are quite adequate for lots of uses, much less expensive, and easier to install.Will update if any durability issues present themselves going forward.

Great stuff.

Tend to stick a bit but fine for the price and for my application.

Easy to mortise for this hinge. Liked the integral lid stop.

I used these hinges to mount the lid on a walnut jewelry box I was making. Never used hinges like this before. What I liked most was how they open to exactly 90 degrees and then stop.

Hinges are small as expected. Downfall is the screws. I snapped 2 screws in half even with pilot holes. Since they are so small, it’s pretty much impossible to get them out without damaging the workpiece.

good product
