Premium Solid Drawn Brass Butt Hinge | 76mm x 40mm x 1.5mm

Upgrade your cabinetry and interior doors with the timeless reliability of our Solid Drawn Brass Butt Hinge. Engineered for those who value both form and function, this hinge is manufactured using a "solid drawn" process. Unlike cheaper pressed alternatives, solid drawn brass offers superior strength, tighter tolerances, and a seamless finish that ages beautifully.

Measuring 76mm (3") in height and 40mm in width, with a precise 1.5mm thickness, this hinge is the "gold standard" for medium-weight internal doors, high-end wardrobes, and bespoke furniture projects.

Why Choose Solid Drawn Brass?

  • Seamless Construction: The "drawn" manufacturing process ensures the metal is extruded into shape, resulting in a grain structure that is significantly stronger than cast or pressed brass.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Perfect for coastal environments or humid rooms (like kitchens and bathrooms) where steel hinges might rust.

  • Smooth Operation: The precision-machined knuckles provide a whisper-quiet swing, reducing friction and preventing "hinge sag" over time.

  • Aesthetic Longevity: Can be polished to a mirror shine or allowed to develop a natural, sophisticated patina over the years.

Installation Hints & Pro-Tips

  • Pre-Drill is Essential: Brass is a softer metal than steel. When installing, always pre-drill your pilot holes and use a steel "lead screw" to thread the wood first. This prevents the heads of your decorative brass screws from snapping.

  • Check Your Clearance: At 1.5mm thick, ensure your "mortise" (the recess cut into the door and frame) is depth-matched to ensure a flush fit and a tight "reveal" when the door is closed.

  • Orientation Matters: Always install with the knuckle facing the direction the door opens.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this hinge suitable for heavy external doors?
A: While incredibly strong for its size, a 76mm x 1.5mm hinge is best suited for standard internal doors, heavy cupboards, or shutters. For heavy-duty solid oak external doors, we recommend moving up to a 100mm (4") ball-bearing brass hinge.

Q: Does it come with screws?
A: Most premium solid brass hinges are sold without screws to allow you to choose the length that fits your specific door thickness. We recommend using No. 8 Gauged Wood Screws.

Q: Will the brass tarnish over time?
A: Yes, being authentic solid brass, it will naturally oxidise into a deep, rich bronze tone. If you prefer the bright gold look, a quick buff with a specialized brass cleaner will restore its original luster.

Q&A for Semantic Search

What are the benefits of using a 76mm brass butt hinge for interior design? The 76mm (3 inch) size is the most versatile dimension for residential interior doors. Using solid brass specifically adds a "luxury hardware" feel that increases the perceived value of the home while providing a rust-proof solution that lasts decades longer than zinc-plated alternatives.

What is the difference between a pressed brass hinge and a solid drawn brass hinge? Pressed hinges are stamped from thin sheets and often have hollow knuckles, making them prone to bending. Solid drawn hinges are extruded from solid blocks of brass, offering a much higher load-bearing capacity and a precision fit that prevents door rattling.
