Overview
These elegant quadrant hinges are crafted from solid brass, and finished with an attractive antique hue that complements a variety or wood species and styles. The integral stop arm holds your lid open at approximately 95°. Sold in pairs. Available in large and small sizes.
Streamline the mortising process with the JIG IT® Q4 Small Quadrant Hinge Mortise Template or the JIG IT® Q3 Large Quadrant Hinge Mortise Template and the Hinge Mortising System.
The Quadrant Hinge Templates simplify the process by eliminating the need to measure and mark while also providing a clear guide for routing with a bushing. Each template features a clean design and a clear face you can see where you will be routing with ease. The Q3 Template is designed for #46807 (Solid Brass Large-Box Quadrant Hinge 1-5/8''W x 1-5/8''H x 9/32'') while the Q4 Template is designed for use with #48068 (Solid Brass Small-Box Quadrant Hinge 1-1/4''W x 1-1/4''H x 7/32'').
Both of the templates are intended to work with the JIG IT® Hinge Mortising System. Simply lay the template into the system and clamp it where you'd like it to sit. When you are done just remove the template out of the system. Not only does this speed up the process by eliminating the need to mark and measure, but it can be reused with a wide range of mortising templates.

box quadrant hinge installation ?
BEST ANSWER: I use a small Bosch router with a fence to make my dado and mortise cuts for the hinges. Most of my boxes are made from 5/8 thick stock that I plane. I lay the quadrant hinge on the edge of the box carcass to locate approximate placement of hinge. I want the pin hinge to straddle the back of box: half on the box edge and half hanging out back. I then mark a line where the hinge ends on side. Using a speed square I set this distance for box sides of box and also both sides of lid. I then set the fence of router so that my 5/16 straight cut bit will cut approximately in center of the box sides and lid sides. Using a scrap piece of wood I set the depth so that it will allow the hinge thickness to become flush with edge. I now make those 4 side cuts: two on the box carcass and two on the lid.I place the hinge in this recess I just made so that I can mark where I should stop for the cut along the back of the box since it will be in a different position that the sides. I mark this stop using the same method above with a speed square and then cut these recesses.Next I change the bit from a 5/16 bit to a 1/4 inch bit. The 1/4 inch bit needs to be long enough so that it can cut approximately 1 3/8 inch mortise depth in side edges of the box carcass. This will allow the hinge stop bars to recess in to the box when closed. This cut is made in several passes of course and is approximately 1/2 inch lateral cut.With the same setup I cut a recess in the lid similar to box carcass except this recess only needs to be about 1/2 inch deep.I check the cut of the recess with a hinge to make sure it is flush with box edge. If it is recessed too deep then box will not close properly with hinge in place. If recess is too shallow the hinge will also not allow box to close properly. Best fit is with hinge flush to edge. You may find that you need to relieve the corners of your recess with a chisel for tighter and squarer fit of hinge.Finally be very careful. Don't overtighten.I use a piece of wire in the hinge stop hole to keep the bar from pulling out. A cut piece of paper clip works well for this purpose. Take your time and measure accurately. Once you do the first one successfully the rest will be easier for you.Please let me know if you have additional questions.

solid brass hinges
I needed a slim pair of hinges that held the top open to 90 degrees. I selected this pair because of the thin wall construction of the box. After much work getting the mortise in the right place they work just fine.
It would help if there were some instructions on the depth of the mortise and also the width, but with some work they work fine

Great for the price
These hinges are more difficult to install compared to regular hinges. The jigit works well. These hinges really make a jewelry box look nice. I would give it five stars except that the are not as expensive looking as $50 hinges.

Quadrant Hinge Carries the Day
First time use of this hinge. I usually do stop hinges on box lids but this one was extra heavy. The additional support afforded by the quadrant arc lived up to my expectation that it would do the job.

Not very sturdy
These will only work for small boxes. They are very small and won't support much of a lid. Screws are poor quality as well.

Tough to work with
My biggest complaints (1) The curved arm will lock on you in the down position. To fix this I ended up putting a small section of a twist tie in through the hole of the arm. More expensive hinges have a different shape on the one end to prevent this. Otherwise the only way you can open the lid is to turn the box upside down. (2) If you are installing these with a chisel and not using the router template, be sure you have a 3/16" chisel. It will make life much easier to chisel out the "L" that runs up the side of your box. A 3/16" chisel is just not a common one that everyone owns.
