Decent quality hinges

Decent quality hinges. A little thin and a little too small. I had to bend them a bit to fit the over 3/4" thick plywood, which is about 32" less anyway. Works fine for my application.

Pros
  • Best in their niche
Cons
  • No

great item on hardware

I bought two of these for a solid wood toy box we built as a Christmas present. You were perfect. They look great and do exactly what they promised. Would definitely buy it again for a similar application.

Pros
  • good item
Cons
  • ugly packaging

beautiful appearance. Excellent work. Shines like gold.

Wouldn't it hurt to send a few more of those flimsy screws? I removed the first screw I used and now my beautiful piano bench is missing a screw. I hope the Big Orange Box will have a similar one. Otherwise I am very satisfied and would recommend it. Very good design for a very easy installation.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Low maintainability

Still had to hammer in

The hinges worked fine for my toy box project, but they don't match the 1 x wood. I had to cut a bit into where the hinge shaft sits. If your wall is 11/16" tall, it will fit just fine. Note that the hinges are smaller than what I drew, so I needed 4 of them for the 30" wide cardboard lid. Since the hinges are small, so are the included screws. I used some large stainless steel screws and the hinges work fine.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Speed

NOT suitable for 3/4 " wood.

I should have listened to other reviews that said they are not suitable for 3/4" wood, but these reviews are a few years old ago so I thought the manufacturer fixed the problem They have a .709 clearance between the barrel and the hinge edge which is exactly 18mm so I think that's the problem since they are from Taiwan The location must give an accurate description of the size and specifically state that they will not fit wood larger than .750" in diameter, or change their design. The reason…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
