The first English brass sizes for both cabinet and architectural applications. butt hinges were hand fitted and finished sand castings. To Here follows an explanation of these two outwardly compensate for the brittleness of this material, the hinges similar hinge types. The traditional English hinge were made as thick as possible within the limits of the is a flatback design while the traditional American Flatback hinge particular hinge size. The flatback design allows the hinge is a swaged style. The American swaged form thickness of each hinge leaf to be close to half the diameter is the result of a manufacturing tradition that of the hinge barrel. Even though hinges are no longer sand extends back to the early part of the last century. cast, the profile of the modern English hinge remains the Then, as now, by far the bulk of American hinges same as it was 200 years ago. A subtle detail found in our were formed of sheet material. The practicalities of English butt hinges is the tapering of the leaf. When these forming hinge sections from sheet material generally hinges were still cast brass, the greatest weakness was favored the use of thinner material than might Swaged hinge where the leaf section meets the barrel. In contrast, the otherwise be desired and in order to make a edges of the leaf are under no stress and could be thin, so the stronger, more wear resistant product, the barrel of the hinge was enlarged to create bigger bearing surfaces. Standards that hinge makers would taper the leaf away from the barrel. eventually became defined by trade and government agencies naturally For any given hinge size, the leaf thickness of a flatback hinge will tend to be greater and the barrel diameter smaller than the equivalent swaged reflected the then current state of technology. So all American hinges to this day, however they are manufactured, still bear the characteristics of hinge. Your choice between these two hinge types should ultimately be based on taste and period. The flatback hinges with their slender elegant an economical, mass produced product. Our American made swaged barrels should certainly be your choice if you are replicating the flavor of hinges are milled from solid brass extrusions, rather than folded from period furniture, while the more imposing barrels of the swaged hinges sheet material. This results in a hinge with a more precise fit, a much suit heavier late 19th and 20th century styles. longer life and far better finish. PAGE 208 HINGES SIZE Picking an appropriate hinge for a particular application is one of the multitude of small decisions the furnituremaker must make which ultimately makes their work look unmistakably their own. As long as one stays within reason, the choice you make will invariably function quite adequately. As a set of general rules, a typical cabinet door of between 24” and 36” will need two hinges. While 2” hinges may suit a 24” door, 2 1/2” hinges might look better on a 36” door, and a taller door on a wardrobe may warrant 3” hinges. A door bigger than 36” may also need a third hinge to keep the door from warping. Having decided on a hinge length, the choice of hinge width must be considered. Some woodworkers like to mortise across the full thickness of the door and try to select a hinge accordingly. In the instance of a 3/4” thick door, a 1 3/4” wide hinge will occupy the full width of the mortise. It is generally better practice to cut a stopped mortise in both the door and the cabinetwork and use a narrower hinge. This not only looks neater, but provides a positive location in two planes for the hinge. 1 1/2” hinges work well on 3/4” stock. They allow a full 1/8” backstop against which the hinge can be registered. Back when fragile cast hinges were in general use, a narrower hinge leaf was preferred because it the screws closer to the hinge barrel and so reduced the unsupported width of leaf material. If a sense of historical accuracy is important then choose a 2” x 1 1/4” or 2 1/2” x 1 3/8” hinge. The last dimensional choice to be decided upon is the barrel diameter. This need not vary much in order to have a significant effect on the visual weight of the hinge. For cabinet hinges, the three common diameters available today are 7/32”, 1/4”, 5/16”. The choice will depend more on visual effect than strength considerations. Slender hinge barrels compliment the elegant lines of period furniture. The heft of much 19th and 20th century cabinetwork can suit hinges of greater visual weight. LOOSE PIN HINGES This century we have seen the advent of loose pin hinges on furniture and cabinet work. Originally conceived for architectural doors and casement windows their removable hinge pins allow a door to be taken on and off its casework quickly and without tools. Perhaps this development serves both the cabinetmaker and the user equally well. The cabinet maker gains a little time, while the customer acquires decorative tips at top and bottom of his hinges. These hinges suit architectural cabinetwork particularly well as, in effect, they are smaller relatives of standard door hinges and so allow a design continuity throughout a house. Their applicability to furniture use is less historically justified and as they are built with clearance to allow the pin to be easily withdrawn, they are not as precise as their fixed pin cousins. The voting these days is clearly in favor of loose pin hinges, but a user needs to be aware that a fixed pin hinge without balls or finials is not lacking any vital part. FINISH Throughout most of the 18th and 19th centuries the common butt hinge was expected to do its job without drawing attention to itself. Functional elements such as hinges and locks were not meant to be in competition with designed Projection of plain hinge Projection of loose pin hinge elements for the user’s attention. These days, perhaps because we are starved of contact with quality materials, we like to display them to the best effect. If you are reproducing period cabinetwork, your choice should be with standard finish hinges. These can be finished along with the surrounding woodwork and will blend unobtrusively. INSTALLATION Traditional flatback cabinet butt hinges are mortised into the edge of the door and cabinetwork. We sell these hinges either with or without decorative tips. The installation is the same for either type except in one detail. Decorative tip hinges are set further forward of the cabinetwork than are their untipped counterparts. The plain untipped butt hinge should function without drawing attention to itself. It should therefore be fitted as shallow as possible, the hinge mortise should be cut to a depth that leaves only the barrel of the hinges and a hair extra forward of the cabinetwork. The tipped butt hinge must have a full diameter of its barrel forward of the cabinetwork. This allows the pin to be removed without interference (see illustrations). For regular butt hinges, set a marking gauge to a measurement taken from the edge of the hinge leaf to a point just short of the center of the hinge pin. Use this setting to scribe lines on the casework where you have chosen to place the hinge. Next, measure accurately the hinge length and bring corresponding lines forward to the front of the casework with a square. A scalpel or other sharp knife is the best marking tool for this layout. Set a small router with a sharp 1/4” high-speed steel straight cutter to a depth that equals the hinge barrel diameter minus desired door gap with the result divided in half. Waste away the mortise and square up the corners with a sharp chisel. Set the door in place and shim it to create equal gaps. Mark lines on the door to match those on the casework. Use your existing marking gauge setting to mark the vertical lines on the door edge. Set the door in a bench vise and route the mortises. The door can now be installed. Use only one screw per hinge at this time. If the door closes properly, then fit the remaining screws. Small adjustments to the depth of the mortise can go a long way to compensate for a slightly twisted door. The same technique will work for installation of a tipped hinge, with the exception of the marking gauge setting. For a tipped hinge, the gauge will be set to the inside width of the hinge leaf.

But for reasons unknown, the waist doors of tall case clocks were often built to partially overlay the casework. With one wide leaf and one narrow leaf the tall case clock hinges on the left allow a door to project forward enough for the moulded lip. The hinged edge of the door must be left without a rabbet while the other three are rabbeted. END VIEW These two Spanish overlay hinges are solid brass and designed to fit a 7/16” rabbet. The 90 degree fold in the hinge leaf nests into the rabbet. EUROPEAN IRON FICHE CABINET HINGES These hinges are sold individually.

Code 13 Size: 6” Left hand 217HF42L Right hand (shown) 217HF42R PAGE 217 Fiche hinges are common on Continental European furniture. We supply French made hinges in a variety of sizes to suit most applications. These hinges consist of two steel or brass tubes capped on opposing ends by decorative tips. One tube carries a fixed pin, the other slips over this pin. The tubes are formed with tangential leaves. The leaf on the lower tube projects from one side, and on the upper tube, from the other side. We have found three techniques that can be used to install these hinges. Firstly, the correct method, and then two simpler methods TRADITIONAL METHOD FOR LIPPED DOORS Fiche hinges are traditionally used on rabbeted or lipped doors.The leaves are mortised into deep, thin mortises and held in place with pins or screws. Cutting these mortises is no easy matter. We can supply an 1/8” mortising chisel that will work well for the brass hinges, but is too wide for the iron hinges on this page. A method that can make this installation a little easier requires cutting pockets into which the flaps seat (see illustration), after the flap has been screwed into place, a wooden plate can be fitted to add finish and additional strength. BETTER METHOD FOR INSET DOORS Fiche hinges adapt well to use on flush (inset) doors. The better method for installation is as illustrated. A pocket is cut in the door and the casework to accomodate their respective leaves. Leaves on fiche hinges tend to be fairly wide and depending on the thickness of your door and casework, you may need to cut them back and re-drill the screw holes. The depth of the pockets are equal to the result of the following formula: hinge barrel diameter minus desired door gap, the result divided in half. The thin leaves of the hinges will sit down a little into these fairly deep mortises and the resulting space will provide clearance for the screw heads. QUICK NO-MORTISE METHOD FOR INSET DOORS If speed and convenience are of the essence, it is possible to use fiche hinges as no-mortise hinges. To make this possible, you will need to exchange the top leaf of a right hand hinge with the top leaf of a left hand hinge. This exchange Code 13 places the leaves on the Size: 4” same plane and allows the hinge to slip into the Left hand gap between door and frame. Depending on the 217HF46L thickness of wood you are working with, the leaves might need cutting back. Either countersink the Right hand screw holees or use round headed screws and create (shown) depressions in the adjacent wood to accommodate 217HF46R the heads.

A first attempt will often result in brass a joint that scrapes and binds, or leaves 243H32 unsightly gaps. To get it right the first time requires both an understanding and application of the geometry at work. These days, the majority of us will cut the rule joint profiles with a router. Though this tool can quickly produce a very accurate pair of matching cuts, it can just as easily cut a good looking, but unworkable joint. Because different hinges will require different settings for your router, hinge selection must be your starting point. A rule joint hinge is specially manufactured with an extra wide leaf to span the joint. Because it is screwed into the underside of the CENTER HINGES table with the barrel facing up, it is countersunk on the reverse side. Center hinges are designed for Start by opening the hinge and laying it barrel upward on a flat surface. Accurately measure up from this surface doors that swing about a to the center of the hinge pin. In the case of our standard drop leaf hinges, this measurement will be up to 1/8” center, rather than an edge. (alternatively, and assuming the hinge is a traditional flat back style, you can simply measure the hinge barrel These hinges were popular in and divide by two). When this hinge is mortised into the underside of the tabletop, the center of rotation of the Europe on large knock-down table leaf will be 1/8” up from the bottom. casework. The doors are held in Most tabletops are built of 3/4” thick material, and so it seems reasonable to select a 1/2” radius cutter for the place between the pins of the joint. Many woodworkers cutting a rule joint for the first time will fail to take into account the center of rotation hinges when the top of the case described above and will assume a 1/2” radius cutter will leave a 1/4” fillet in 3/4” stock. If a 1/2” radius cutter is fitted. is set correctly, with the center of its described circle raised 1/8” above the underside of the table, the fillet will be 1/8”, not 1/4”. A 1/8” fillet is a workable minimum because, while the fillet is cut into the tabletop, the table leaf must match its profile with perhaps 1/32” clearance. With a full 3/4” material thickness, a 3/32” edge will be left, which should be regarded as an absolute minimum. If the tabletop is thinner due to planing or sanding, then a 1/2” radius cutter will be too large and must be abandoned in favor of a 7/16” or smaller pair of bits. After having established the center of rotation as defined by the hinge choice and having selected the cutter, you can run the profile on the tabletop. If you are using a 1/2” radius cutter, you will need to set the base of your router to cut a fillet of a thickness that is the result of the following formula: Tabletop thickness (3/4”) minus 1/2 barrel diameter (1/8”) minus radius cutter (1/2”). With this profile cut, you can run the mating profile in the table leaf. Ideally you would select a cutter with a 1/32” larger radius to provide a little clearance at the joint. Such cutters are not generally available, so in order to create the needed clearance, you will separate the leaves by this much when installing the hinges. The hinges can now be mortised. The first cut will be in the tabletop and will accommodate the hinge barrel. This is best cut with a 1/4” straight cutter. The center of this cut should be a 1/64” outboard of a line drawn down PRODUCT SIZE from the vertical cut left by your radius cutter. With the tabletop upside down and with its leaf nesting in place, All products are but separated by 1/32”, lay the hinge barrel in it’s mortise and with a sharp knife, scribe its outline.

Even though they may appear an ideal solution for hinging the writing surface of drop front desks, none of these can be used satisfactorily in this application. Traditionally, a regular backflap hinge like those on page 242 was used, but if it is unacceptable to have the hinge barrel above the writing plane, it is possible to use a drop leaf hinge as shown in the accompanying drawing. This solution will leave a gap along the hinge line when closed, which may or may not be acceptable.

OFFSET AND STRAIGHT KNIFE HINGES “Brusso” knife hinges provide an unobtrusive and refined way to hinge, inset and overlay doors. Fitting is as shown in the illustrations and as long as the mortises are cut accurately before the casework is assembled, the installation should go smoothly. Because very little adjustment is possible with this style of hinge, it is vital that you be precise in your marking and cutting. To provide the opportunity for a small amount of adjustment, it is worth cutting the door mortise a hair short and at first install the hinges with only one screw per door leaf. If the door is found to be a little out of square with the case when fitted, one or other mortise can be lengthened slightly. These hinges are not handed and there is no difference between the upper and lower door hinge. They are solid brass and finished in a fine satin with no protective coating.

The third setting will connect the other two, and in this case, the fence will be set against the back of the box. The last cut will create a pocket for the quadrant in both the lid and the box. If your lid is thick enough, you can provide equal depth in both lid and box, otherwise, mortise deeper into the box than the lid. As with the first cut, you will set the fence to cut along the center of the box side. A smaller router bit will be used for this cut (approx. 3/16”). As this is a deep cut, you may want to make a series of passes. Because this cut will be covered by the hinge, you should be able to freehand its length, but be aware that if it is longer Code 1 than need be, you will lose crucial wood in front of the forward-most screw.
