As these hinges are handmade and hand finished, slight variations in dimensions, texture and appearance should be expected. These subtle differences are characteristic of traditionally manufactured wrought iron hardware.

Which Size Should I Choose?

As a general guide, T hinges should measure approximately half to two-thirds of the width of the door or gate.

6" and 9" hinges are particularly suited to:

• Cupboard doors

• Cabinets

• Small doors

• Smaller joinery projects

12", 15", 18" and 24" hinges are particularly suited to:

• Pine and oak doors

• Ledge and brace doors

• Cottage-style doors

• Traditional timber doors

• Shed and outbuilding doors

• Timber gates

For heavier or wider doors and gates, a longer hinge can provide greater support across the width.

270° Opening

The hinge arm rotates through approximately 270 degrees, allowing the butt to be fixed to the inside of the jamb if preferred. This provides additional flexibility when installing the hinges on traditional doors, gates and joinery.

Traditional Beeswax Finish

Each hinge is hand finished with a natural beeswax coating. This helps protect the wrought iron while creating the characteristic dark finish associated with traditional ironmongery.

As beeswax is a natural protective coating, the hinges may feel slightly sticky to the touch when new. Any excess wax can be carefully removed using a mild solvent and a soft cloth.

The finish will naturally change with handling, age and use, adding to the traditional character of the ironwork.

Internal & External Use

These hinges are ideally suited to internal applications and can also be used externally when appropriately maintained.

When used outside, the wrought iron will be exposed to rain, moisture and changing weather conditions. As beeswax is a traditional finish rather than a permanent weatherproof coating, regular maintenance and reapplication of a suitable protective coating will be required.

If the protective finish is allowed to wear away, surface oxidation and rust may develop. The frequency of maintenance will depend on the location and level of exposure to the elements.

For external installations, we recommend inspecting the hinges periodically and maintaining the protective finish as required.
