2-1/2″ Solid Brass Butt Hinges: The Ultimate in Precision & Strength

When your project demands more than “standard,” choose the industry benchmark.

Our 2-1/2″ Solid Brass Butt Hinges represent the pinnacle of hardware engineering. Part of the Horton Brasses Standards Collection, these hinges are designed for woodworkers, designers, and homeowners who refuse to compromise on quality. Machined from solid brass extrusions rather than stamped from thin metal, they offer a degree of precision and “heft” that is instantly recognizable the moment you hold them.  

Engineering Excellence

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

• Solid Extruded Brass: These aren’t flimsy replacements. Each leaf is a substantial 3/32″ thick, providing the structural integrity required for high-use cabinet doors and fine furniture.  

• Fixed Pin Durability: The fixed pin is engineered to stay put, ensuring that your doors never rattle and the hardware never loosens over decades of use.  

• Versatile Sizing: The 2-1/2″ height provides extra stability and a more substantial aesthetic for larger cabinet doors or built-in units.

Finishing Touches

Hardware should be as beautiful as it is functional. We offer these hinges in seven hand-applied finishes—from the dark, rich tones of Oil-Rubbed Bronze to the classic, aging beauty of our Unlacquered Polished Brass. Each hinge is finished in our Pennsylvania factory to ensure a perfect match across your entire hardware suite.
