40mm Electro-Brass Fixed-Pin Flush Hinge

This compact 40mm fixed-pin flush hinge is designed for surface-mounted furniture, cupboard and cabinet applications. Its interlocking leaves allow the hinge to close without requiring the deep recess normally associated with a traditional butt hinge.

The electro-brass plated finish gives the hinge a traditional brass-coloured appearance while the fixed pin keeps the two leaves permanently assembled. Four fixing holes provide straightforward attachment to suitable furniture panels, doors, boxes and frames.

Technical Specifications

How a Flush Hinge Works

One hinge leaf fits inside the opening formed by the other leaf when the hinge closes. This compact arrangement allows the two mounting surfaces to sit close together and usually requires less recessing than a conventional butt hinge.

Typical Applications

• Furniture doors
• Cabinet and cupboard doors
• Small access panels
• Storage boxes and wooden cases
• 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 chosen screws and installation material. Test the door or panel movement before fully tightening the fixings.

Check the hinge size, fixing-hole arrangement and electro-brass finish against the existing fitting before ordering. Use the number of hinges appropriate for the size and weight of the door or panel.
