I found a set of plans for some snack trays that called for the Roto-Hinge. I hadn't heard of them before and was fortunate enough to find them at Rockler. The hinge is easy to install and works beautifully for my application! I would highly recommend this specialty product!

While I rated these hinge very good, in reality, I decided not to use them, and they are in my drawer awaiting the proper application. What I was making was a folding "camp" stool, which is just one square frame that nests/pivots inside another. If you are using bolts for "hinges" you can assemble the 2 frames separately and then just bolt them together. To use the roto hinges I would have had to assemble the hinged members of the two frames first and then assemble the remainder of the two frames "around" the already hinged members. I decided that that approach complicated the construction too much, so I just used traditional bolts.
I probably didn't explain that clearly enough, but my point is this; before you decide to use these for a given project, think about the assembly order that will be required. You may find, as I did, that the roto hinges add an unwanted complication to your project.

Simple, but elegant. I used these for a recipe box hinge. I left one end on each side exposed as they added a nice touch to this little project.

Easy to install and they work very well. I plan to build some snack trays next and will use these hinges again.

I used a pair of these in a doll cradle. They worked great! These are nice because they are totally hidden, no bolt holes or anything to hide.
The advice in the previous review is very true, do not test fit these, they fit very tight in the hole.
