4/8″ Solid Brass Stop Hinges: Miniature Precision for Exceptional Craftsmanship

The ideal hardware solution for small boxes, delicate clock doors, and fine humidors.

In the world of fine box making and horology, the hardware must be as meticulous as the woodwork. Our 1/2″ Solid Brass Stop Hinges provide the mechanical perfection required for your smallest, most detailed projects. These hinges are specifically engineered with a built-in 95-degree stop, ensuring that lids and doors open to a perfect right angle and stay there—no lid stays or supports required.

Machined from solid brass extrusions, these hinges offer a level of stability and “snap” that simply cannot be achieved with stamped or cast alternatives.

Small Scale, High Performance:

• Integrated 90° Stop: The internal mechanism is precision-engineered to stop the swing at exactly 90 degrees, protecting delicate hinges and wood joints from the stress of over-extension.

• Machined from Solid Brass: Despite their small size, these hinges are incredibly strong. The machined extrusion process ensures the knuckles are aligned with zero “slop,” providing a smooth, premium feel.

• Perfectly Scaled: The 1/2″ height makes these the perfect choice for 1/4″ to 3/8″ thick stock, allowing for a discreet and elegant installation on jewelry boxes, tea caddies, and small cabinet doors.

• Fixed Pin Durability: Our fixed pins ensure that even after thousands of cycles, the movement remains silent and secure.
