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).

Andrew Wilkerson –
These are the finest hinges ever made, I’m glad to see them back and better than ever. I’ll have to encourage more to choose the stainless hardware option, so many of my customers still like the look of brass so I was hoping to see them here as well but I’ll get these again next time hopefully. I still have some of your older ones to use first.
David Keating –
If your looking for the best quality hinges and hardware for projects then you are in the right place. Hawthorne fine boxes offer the world’s best hardware and top class service to go with it. They are easy fitting using a downward spiral bit for a clean cut and really look the part when fitted 100 percent. The only problem I’ve been having up until recently is actually making boxes worthy of this hardware as I don’t get enough time as I would like to do wood work but when am not at it and thinking of how I can improve my craft so what my boxes are complementing the hardware just as much as the hardware complements the box. I would highly recommend this hinges and locks to anyone interested in making some high quality boxes. Glad they are back and hopefully for good.

Beautiful hinges, seem well designed and well made. Bought 2 pairs. One pair stopped at 95 degrees, the other pair stopped at 91 degrees. One star off for inconsistency, but no harm to appearance or functionality. Comes with lots of slotted head, solid brass screws if that’s what you like. I use brass-plated, steel screws with phillips heads. Fast shipping to USA.

Thank you for your review James – the angle is something we are determined to improve on.
Aaron Fransz –
Excellent quality hinges and at a reasonable price too. These are far better than brusso siderail hinges and a lot cheaper. I will definitely be using these hinges in the future on my projects

I’m glad you like them 🙂

Al Ladd –
I’m really happy with the Neat hinges I received. They installed easily, aligned the tops perfectly and solidly, and look fantastic. The unique configuration of the hinges made them worth buying from across the seas (I”m in the US), but the price wasn’t as high as some alternatives, and for the high-end jewelry boxes they’re used for an easy decision. Ian was available for email exchange and phone calls, and shipped promptly. Bravo!

Best quality hinges; entirely proper for a box that one has used rare and expensive woods and spent intense hours to build.
