Use good hinges

Why?  See the pictures to find out.  Bench Made Woodworking in Cincinnati shared these pictures with us.  The hinges photographed are from a pretty well known brand that was spec’d out by the architect on this job.  If you’re anything like me, you might have some objections if they were in your kitchen.  We would suggest trying our PB-410B hinges as an alternative-we are quite confident the plating won’t peel.

New: Solid Brass Precision Butt hinges for 1″ thick inset doors!

Never content to rest on our laurels-Horton Brasses has a new precision butt hinge!  Our solid brass precision butt hinges have set the standard for quality, selection and price for some time now.  But we kept hearing they were too narrow for thicker doors.  We listened, we responded.  These hinges are perfect for 1″ thick or even 1-¼” thick doors, as the open width is a hefty 1-¾” wide.  In addition, the center hole is now slotted, so that you can made fit adjustments more easily.  Holes are perfectly drilled and countersunk for #6 screws; color matched 3/4″ long Phillips head screws are included; slotted screws are available on request.

New Product!

Well I am always excited about adding new stuff. We now have a beautiful small box hinge in nickel. It is the same PB-405 extruded brass hinge we have had for years in a new finish. It just came in today so I don’t have a picture, but you can see the brass one and order them all here PB-405 Box Hinge. It is exceptionally well made and sized for wood as thin as 1/2″ thick. I hope you like it. As always, comments are welcome.
