40mm Bronze-Plated Fixed-Pin Flush Hinge

This compact 40mm fixed-pin flush hinge is designed for surface-mounted furniture, cabinet and cupboard applications. Its interlocking leaves fit together when closed, allowing the mounting surfaces to sit close together without the deep recess normally required for a conventional butt hinge.

The bronze-plated finish provides a traditional dark metallic appearance that suits classic furniture, restoration work and bronze-coloured cabinet fittings. A fixed pin keeps the two hinge leaves permanently assembled, while four fixing holes provide straightforward attachment to suitable furniture panels, doors, boxes and frames.

Technical Specifications

How a Flush Hinge Works

One leaf of a flush hinge fits inside the opening formed by the other leaf when the hinge closes. This interlocking design reduces the space between the door and frame and normally requires less recessing than a standard butt hinge.

Typical Applications

• Furniture doors
• Cabinet and cupboard doors
• Small access panels
• Storage boxes and wooden cases
• Traditional furniture repairs and restoration

Installation Guidance

Position the hinge with the knuckle correctly aligned along the edge of the moving panel. Mark the four fixing positions and drill pilot holes appropriate for the selected screws and installation material. Check that the door or panel opens freely before fully tightening the fixings.

Compare the 40mm size, four-hole arrangement, fixed-pin construction and bronze-plated finish with the existing hinge before ordering. Use the number of hinges appropriate for the dimensions and weight of the door or panel.
