Incredibly basic box hinge question - Aram - 11-20-2015 Have small Brusso box hinges. On the edge with the pin, one leaf has two outer tabs, and of course the other has one in the middle. Is there a conventional orientation? Which side goes on the box, and which on the lid? Re: Incredibly basic box hinge question - Phil S. - 11-20-2015 I don't think there is an up or a down, but I think I'd put the two tab side on the box just cuz it seems right. ![]() The Brusso web site doesn't specify, but if you really want a clear conscience, they say- Should you require further assistance please contact customer service and we will do our best to help.

I'm sure it's just an aesthetic thing, but like having half-pins on the outside of your dovetails, maybe everyone does it a certain way. I agree, two on the box sorta seems right.

Re: Incredibly basic box hinge question - AHill - 11-20-2015 I'm not sure it makes any difference as long as they are the same on both sides. That said, their product sheets show the two-tabbed side on the bottom. |
