Brass hinges

I bought from B&Q. Take a magnet with you.

2"x¾" solid brass c/w brass pins 50p/pair from local hardware shop. Bought 20 pairs plus box of brass screws for £10.

I'd be willing to bet they have mild steel pins.

I'd take that one on!

Lots and lots of standard butt hinges in solid brass, but flush hinges are like hens teeth.

When it comes to screws I would advise not to buy brass. They tend not to last and in a damp environment dezincify relatively quickly. On my refurbishment nearly all the brass screws sheared or the slots crumbled away as soon as torque was applied. I used stainless and the boat builder (A&R Way, Lochgilphead) who did the cabinet work also used stainless. Of course if you brass in your application the boat is not going to sink!

Here are some "hen's teeth" just for you though at £4:00 each could be too rich for your taste

I would have called that a Hurl hinge as it is not really a flush hinge. In fact we never cut them in , just screwed them on the face of the jamb & door

Thank you - the difference, I see (https://www.topclasscarpentry.com/category/Hurlinge-Hinges/), being that in a flush hinge the knuckle projects from only one side of the leaves, but in a hurl hinge (or hurlinge) is offset (‘hurled’, I presume?) to be more centralised to the leaves, giving a more symmetrical appearance between door and frame.

I would suggest that if you enlarge the first image & study the inner leaf you will see that it is the same. The picture in the first image is from the back of the hinge. The pin is offset in both types

The image in the link I gave? I was paraphrasing the explanation of the difference given on that website.
