Quadrant Hinge 40 x 30 mm, Self-Colour Brass

The HI1227 brass quadrant hinge gives box lids, cabinet lids and jewellery boxes a fixed 90° opening. Its quadrant design provides a controlled opening position, while the self-colour brass finish suits projects calling for a traditional brass appearance.

Choosing This Hinge

The listed size is 40 x 30 mm, with length measured from the centre of the pin. This hinge is sold singly, so plan the required quantity for your own lid layout rather than assuming a pair is included. The compact, discreet profile is useful where the fitting should remain visually unobtrusive.

Fitting and Selection
