The brass square knuckled full mortise side rail hinge is engineered with a built-in stop that allows a lid to remain open at a 95° angle. These hinges are milled from 6 mm thick solid brass stock to precise dimensions and are designed to last a lifetime. They feature stainless steel hinge pins and our standard Brusso burnished finish. The leaf measures 8 mm wide x 35 mm long. The inset is 29 mm long.

Hey, great hinge. I have now installed 4 sets on boxes and found them initially frustrating then easier as I discovered some solutions.
Initially, the brass screws kept breaking even after using the steel screw to start the hole. I had to drill the broken threads out three times and that led to a lot of cussing. The next time I installed the hinges, I put a small amount of oil on the end of the brass screw and never had any issues again with the heads snapping off.
I had better luck mortising out the lid to 1.100″ vs. 1.125″. The latter dimension tended to catch and bind when the lid was closed. The former dimension provided smooth closure.

I make presentation pistol boxes – sometimes for pistols worth thousands of dollars and Brusso is my go-to place for hinges and hardware. These hinges are of the highest quality and easy to install. You won’t go wrong with them!

Fine woodwork is rather new to me but I purchased two SR638 Brusso hinges and selected to install one set in a jewelry box the other in a music box but I did not want to use a jig or template but instead hand cut and fit the hinges into the box back and lid. I could not find any references for hand fitting. I could find a lot of instruction for hinge installation using a router and jig or template. Perhaps you can direct me to written or video side rail hinge installation instruction. Thank you in advance for giving my request your consideration.

As usual – the best hardware at the highest price. I cringe when I buy it and love it when I install it every time…

Not the easiest to work with but the end result is great. The brass screws still have to be worked with delicately as thay can break off when working with hard wood such as cherry.
