Material & Manufacturing Process

• Precision Stamping / Casting
  Hinge leaves are produced by stamping or casting, followed by trimming and deburring to ensure smooth edges and accurate leaf thickness.
• Hinge Pin Assembly
  The knuckles are tightly rolled around a sturdy pin, delivering stable rotation and preventing pin loosening during long‑term use.
• Surface Treatment
  • Electroplating (nickel, brass, chrome, etc.)
  • Antique or brushed finishes for vintage styles
  • Protective clear coating to reduce rust and wear
• Quality Control
  Each production batch undergoes inspection for:
  • Dimensional accuracy
  • Surface finish quality
  • Open/close durability testing

This ensures the PD160‑2 can meet both export standards and brand‑level quality requirements.

Buying Guide & Selection Tips

When selecting the PD160‑2 Butt Hinge for your project, consider:

1. Box / Door Size and Weight
   • For small boxes, one pair is usually sufficient.
   • For wider or heavier lids, consider two or more pairs or a thicker hinge.
2. Material & Finish Matching
   • Brass / antique brass suits classic, vintage, or luxury wooden boxes.
   • Nickel / chrome matches modern, bright, or minimalist designs.
   • Black finish works well with dark woods or industrial‑style products.

   Coordinate with locks, latches, handles, and corner protectors for a unified look.

3. Installation Method
   • Confirm the screw hole spacing and size according to your existing design.
   • Pre‑drilling pilot holes helps avoid wood splitting and ensures a secure fit.
