When it comes to searching out a hinge that offers durability, clean looks, and straightforward installation, Garrett Hack feels that 'you can't beat butt hinges.' While woodworking catalogs offer a wide variety of styles, finishes and sizes, when it comes to fine furniture, Hack opts for high-end brass hinges.

The hinges are exactly what I needed and worked well for my application. When I reinstall the hinges after painting I'm going to need to replace all the screws since the heads on a large percentage of them stripped out on the initial installation.

A note on the service I received in the Portland, Maine store: the gentleman who assisted me was great, turns out the size hinges I needed was being pulled from their retail outlets and going to catalog sales only. He had to dig through a couple of large tote bins filled with a couple of hundred assorted hinges and managed to find enough to fill my requirements. It would have been a lot quicker and less effort on his part to just refer me to the catalog. Another plus was that once we had the pile of the correct size hinges I needed, they were on sale for 60% off and saved me about $30. Vs retail price in the catalog. Very satisfied store customer.

Two of the doors would not close completely until I removed the set screw in the edge of the door. One of the hinges was bent when it arrived and had to be worked on my anvil to get it flat.

One door still does not close perfectly. May be my construction but I feel the bad hinge may be the problem. I guess I should have returned the bad hinge. The wrap around section of the hinge for the door appeared to be less than 90 degrees which could have caused the problem with the door not closing. Quality control seemed to be lacking.
