The Neat Elite box hinge is the best jewelry box hinge on the market and is the only hinge (pair) with a fully round knuckle top and bottom. The great benefit of these more traditional style of brass hinge pairs is that they have already been squared off, leaving you to focus on fitting and not worry about additional cutting and accuracy. Designed and Manufactured in-house by us in the UK, this brass side rail box hinge is far superior in strength due to its unique stop system and is the most elegant hinge on the market. For your perfect box, insist on using our beautifully designed, precision made side rail hinges. These hinges are robust and display a fully round knuckle and feature a unique concealed stop system. Very easy to fit Rout – Drill – Fit these stylish hinges will be worthy of your bespoke box.

Cleaning Brass
Ideally you should wear gloves when working with the brass hardware, or you may well tarnish it and leave smudges and/or fingerprints. If your lock and/or hinges tarnish we suggest removing the hardware from the box and giving them a gentle wipe with brasso wadding. Then buff lightly with a clean, soft cloth to get back the sheen. When fitting them back onto the box just remember to wear a pair of disposable gloves, to refrain from touching the brass again. If you can’t get the hardware off, you can try adding a fine border of masking tape before applying the brasso wadding. (Take care not to apply wadding to any other parts of your box).
