2-1/2″ Solid Brass Butt Hinges: Strength, Precision, and Timeless Style

The industry benchmark for high-end cabinetry and fine furniture.

When your project requires a slightly larger profile and increased weight-bearing capacity, our 2-1/2″ Solid Brass Butt Hinges from the Standards Collection are the definitive choice. These are not your average stamped hardware store hinges; they are precision-machined from solid brass extrusions to provide a level of “heft” and smooth operation that mass-produced alternatives simply cannot match.

Designed specifically for 1″ cabinetry, these hinges offer a clean, sophisticated look for larger kitchen cabinet doors, built-ins, and heirloom furniture pieces.  

The Standards Collection Advantage:

• Precision Machining: We machine our hinges to extremely close tolerances. The 7-knuckle joint ensures a perfectly smooth, silent swing with absolutely zero “jiggle” or play.  

• Solid Extruded Brass: With a substantial 3/32″ leaf thickness, these hinges provide the structural integrity needed to keep larger doors perfectly aligned for a lifetime.  

• Fixed Pin Performance: Our pins are engineered to remain fixed and rattle-free, ensuring the hinge never loosens or squeaks, even after decades of daily use.  

• Superior Value: These hinges are widely regarded by master woodworkers as being as good—or better—than boutique brands costing twice as much.

Product Specifications:

• Dimensions: 2-1/2″ High x 1-3/4″ Wide

• Thickness: 3/32″

• Material: Machined Solid Brass Extrusions

• Ideal For: 3/4″ thick cabinet doors and furniture  

• Unit: Sold by the pair (2 individual hinges)  

• Installation Kit: Includes a complete set of color-matched solid brass screws, plus a set of zinc-plated steel screws for easier pre-threading.

Available in 7 Signature Finishes:

Whether you are looking for the “living” patina of our Antique Brass, the modern brilliance of Polished Nickel, or the deep, dark tones of Oil-Rubbed Bronze, every hinge is hand-finished in our Connecticut factory to ensure a perfect match across your entire hardware suite.
