Product Specifications

What Is a Backflap Hinge?

A backflap hinge has two broad leaves designed for surface mounting. This makes it useful where recessed fitting is unnecessary or impractical. The visible electro-brass finish also suits traditional furniture, boxes and decorative indoor joinery.

Installation Guidance

1. Position the hinge with both leaves sitting flat against the adjoining surfaces.
2. Mark the fixing-hole positions accurately.
3. Drill suitable pilot holes for the material and chosen screws.
4. Fix the hinge without overtightening the screws.
5. Check alignment and movement before fitting any additional hinges.

Fixing screws are not stated as included. Select screws appropriate for the substrate, fixing-hole size and application.
