Hinge Identification

7 years ago

I'm unsure as to whether or not this would be the forum to assist, but can anyone tell me what type of hinge this is? I need to replace two of them, but I have had no luck at my local hardware store or online searches. The installed hinge allows the door to swing out and remain flush with the cabinet. Full wrap hinge is close but not exactly. Thank you in advance!

    It's called a wrap inset hinge (or wrap around inset hinge). Try Rockler, Woodcraft, or Lee Valley, lots of them show up in Google.

    I call them "non-mortise with finial" hinges. Finial being the decorative tip on each end of pin. Should find them anywhere that sells other cabinet hinges and hardware.

    Kate, I have also been searching for DAYS, on-line and locally, for that exact hinge, although mine is in Oil-Rubbed Bronze. I have 4 missing (they had been replaced by flat hinges) and 4 that are bent. Have you had ANY luck? I'm dying to refurbish my old armoire.

    Thank you for all of the replies. I apologize for my late response; however, Halloween season is a busy time of year with two small children and school parties.

    The two hinges mentioned do not match up with what I have. I did use the terms for more searches and stumbled upon hinges that referenced "knuckles." I also figured out that the complete swing out we have is referred to as 270 degrees. Based on those items...I searched 270 degrees 5 knuckle hinge and am pretty darn close. I haven't made a purchase as I haven't found anything with the exact same look/dimensions as the existing hardware...so we may purchase similar ones and drill new holes and patch as I plan to paint the t.v. cabinet anyway.

    Julia: yours don't look exactly like ours, but maybe you want to try the search I mentioned? Yours look to be 4 knuckles; however, if it the hinges open completely....I would say 270 degrees applies to yours as well. I wish you luck as this is the component holding up this project.

    Again, thank you for the replies!

    Kate, my apologies, you are correct. They are similar but not exact. I was just so excited to see something so close because I cannot find anything even close.

    Klem1 - THANK YOU so much for the info on Elliott's Hardware Store! I looked them up and they don't have an on-line store (for obvious reasons), so I will e-mail them and call them today! Trust me, this one is NOT easy to search. I have been searching with these parameters "Non-mortise full wrap full inset finial hinges" I have searched with just partial description as well (i.e. just "Non-mortise" or "Non-mortise full wrap"). Anyway, I'm in Southern California so I don't know if on-line searches tend to keep results in your generalized geographical area, but trust me, I'm giving it every effort! Anyway, I will definitely report back on any findings! Thanks again!

    May I suggest calling Elliotts to ask if they will try and match it if you drop one in a flat rate box and send it to them.
