Clock and Box Hinges

The hardware industry has always had special hinges available for special applications. Unfortunately, as companies get larger, sales for these unusual products remain the same or even decrease. When measured against more common hinges, it is hard to justify their production. Many companies, including us, have been forced to discontinue some of these specialty products. Our customers come to us for the unusual and we try to keep making them. Here are three hinges that are pretty uncommon.

Popular Woodworking showed the HDH-4 hinge being installed on Glen Huey's Lingerie Chest (December 2006). Glen neatly cut the lip away and fit the hinge right into place. It was a very slick application. He used the same hinge on his Shaker tall Clock, featured in the August 2007 issue. They are a great little hinge and they fit in a lot of places.
HDH-2 is an odd shaped hinge, isn't it? If you have never seen one before, it must make you wonder. This hinge has a single application that we know of. It is used to hinge the door that covers the face of a reproduction clock. The brass plates are mortised into the top and bottom of the door and the thick pins are nailed through the brass into the case.

HDH-4 is similar to a regular butt hinge but one leaf has more depth than the other. This is because it is used on a rabbeted or lipped door--usually, but not always, the door that covers the pendulum on a clock.

OK, so the the PB-405 isn't that unusual. We just think it is simply the most beautifully made box hinge you will ever run into!
