This is a brass butt hinge in a copper bronze finish, engineered by German manufacturer Simonswerk. It's designed for lightweight cupboard doors and provides the traditional visible hinge connection between your door and cabinet frame.

Where It Fits

You'd use these hinges on lighter cabinet doors where the hinge itself becomes part of the design detail. They work particularly well in kitchens with warm metal accents or period-inspired designs where the visible brass adds to the overall aesthetic rather than hiding away.

How It Works

The hinge mounts directly to both the door and frame using screws, creating a pivot point that allows the door to swing open and closed. Unlike concealed hinges that disappear when closed, this butt hinge remains visible as a design element.

Design Consideration

The copper bronze finish offers a warmer, more muted alternative to bright brass, working well with both contemporary and traditional kitchen styles. However, this is specifically designed for lightweight doors only. If you're planning heavier solid wood doors or doors with significant glazing, you'll need a different hinge system entirely.

Build Quality

The brass construction provides durability, while the 1.7mm thickness and 5mm knuckle diameter indicate this is built for lighter applications rather than heavy-duty use. Simonswerk backs this with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting confidence in the manufacturing quality.

Practical Details

Each hinge measures 51mm high by 28.5mm wide when fully opened, and you'll need 4mm screws for fixing, though these aren't included. The size makes them suitable for standard cabinet door applications but worth checking against your specific door dimensions.

Consider whether visible hinges align with your kitchen's design direction and whether your doors fall within the lightweight category this hinge is designed to support.
