50 x 38mm Self-Colour Steel Butt Hinges

These compact 50 x 38mm light-duty steel butt hinges are suitable for cupboards, cabinets, small internal doors and other lightweight joinery applications. Their traditional rigid construction incorporates a cranked knuckle and a fixed pin that cannot be removed during normal use.

The self-colour steel finish is supplied without a decorative plating, making these hinges a practical choice where the surface will be painted or finished to match the surrounding joinery. Appropriate preparation and a suitable protective coating are recommended where corrosion resistance or a decorative appearance is required.

Important ordering information: the displayed price is for one pair. This product is supplied only in packs of 10 pairs, so order quantities must be entered in multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30 and so on.

Questions & Answers

How many hinges will I receive?

The price is shown per pair, but this product is sold only in multiples of 10 pairs. An order quantity of 10 provides 10 pairs, equal to 20 individual hinges.

Are these hinges suitable for cupboards and cabinets?

Yes. Their compact 50 x 38mm size makes them suitable for cupboards, cabinets and other lightweight internal timber doors.

Self colour means the steel does not have a decorative plated finish. The hinges may be painted or otherwise finished after suitable cleaning and surface preparation.

Can these hinges be used outside?

Untreated self-colour steel is not recommended for exposed or damp locations without a suitable protective coating. A corrosion-resistant plated or stainless steel hinge is generally preferable for exposed applications.

Can the hinge pin be removed?

No. This is a rigid butt hinge with a fixed pin that is not designed to be removed during normal use.

Are fixing screws included?

Fixings are not stated as included. Select screws suitable for the timber, door thickness and intended application.
