We have an antique trunk we use as a coffee table/toybox. The old hinges finally rusted and broke apart....because of the odd way the lid fit together regular hinges would not work on this trunk. Started searching the internet and after a few failed hinges we found Rockler. These flange hinges fit our antique trunk like a glove....we are so happy we can hide our son's toys again!

I installed 3 of the hinges on a chest I am making for my daughter-in-law along with the soft down lid closer. They all work really well and were easy to install. I was unable to find the type hinge I needed locally and ordered them through the internet. I find that if I need an unusual or special hasrdware part I can usually find it through Rockler. Keep up the good work.

I used these hinges on a blanket chest that gets a lot of use. The only problem was when it was overloaded the hinges were stressed to the breaking point. No fault of the hinges. Excellent choice for this type of application.

I installed these hinges on a toy box I made for my new grandaughter and coupled with two of the "back mount" lid supports, everything works great.

I made a large toy box out of 3/4 inch mdf. The lid was too heavy and these hinges crumbled under the pressure. I had two back supports and these hinges did not last but maybe two or three open and closes before they broke. I liked the design and everything about these but they are not for large toy boxes.

I start with a stereo console and convert it to a storage bench/seat. I needed a special hinge to use for the storage arm. This hinge worked perfectly for me.

THANKS ROCKLER !" -
