Full details
This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and furniture makers working on lightweight projects like cabinets, wardrobes, and chests. The key benefit is a clean, flush finish without the need for mortising, saving time and effort. A caveat is that these hinges are designed for lighter applications and may not be suitable for heavy doors. The White Hinge Gold Flush Hinges offer a no-mortise solution with a durable brass finish and a wide 180° opening angle, ideal for various furniture pieces. This bulk pack of 10 hinges (5 pairs) provides excellent value for multiple installations.

FAQs
Do these hinges come with screws?
No, screws are not included with these hinges. You will need to source appropriate screws for your specific door and frame material.
Can I use these on exterior doors?
These hinges are primarily designed for interior lightweight furniture. They are not recommended for exterior doors due to weather exposure and potential weight limitations.
What is the maximum weight capacity for these hinges?
These hinges are intended for lightweight applications and do not have a specific weight rating. They are best suited for cabinet doors, small chests, and similar items, not heavy doors.
How do I achieve a truly flush finish?
Ensure that the surfaces you are mounting the hinge leaves to are flat and free of obstructions. The design itself allows for a flush fit without mortising, but proper alignment is key.
Can the gold finish be painted?
While it might be possible to paint over the brass finish with proper preparation (cleaning and priming), it is not recommended as it may affect the hinge's smooth operation and the finish is designed for durability.
What is the opening angle?
These hinges allow doors to swing open up to 180 degrees.
How many hinges are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 hinges, which is equivalent to 5 pairs.
Troubleshooting
Door does not sit flush when closed.
Check that the hinge leaves are correctly aligned and parallel to the door and frame edges. Ensure no debris is preventing closure. Adjust mounting screws if necessary.
Hinge is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Ensure the fixed pin is properly seated. Check for any paint or debris obstructing movement. A small drop of light lubricating oil may help, but avoid over-lubrication.
Hinges squeak during operation.
Apply a small amount of light oil or graphite lubricant to the pin area. Wipe away any excess.
Door alignment is uneven.
Loosen the mounting screws slightly, adjust the door to the desired position, and then re-tighten the screws securely. Ensure the frame and door surfaces are flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hinges are designed for direct surface mounting. Align the leaves where they will meet the door and frame, ensuring they are parallel. Secure each leaf to its respective surface using appropriate screws (not included). For a flush fit, ensure the door and frame edges are square.
Compatibility: Suitable for lightweight wooden doors, cabinet doors, chests, trunks, and boxes. Not recommended for heavy doors or high-traffic applications where durability under significant stress is required.
Care: To maintain the finish, wipe the hinges with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the electro-brass plating.
