A Perfect Match - on very old hinges!
Comments:
The shutter hinges I needed may have been original to the house, which is about 100 years old. I only needed HALF of the hinges (the part connected to the shutters). I NEVER imagined that I'd find anything that would work, but the hinges you sold are virtually an EXACT match!! The price was very reasonable and the service was outstanding, from beginning to end, including the delivery time ... 2 days - across the US!! What a joy.

While searching for authentic restoration shuter hinges we came across these which exactly matched the type and materials of fabrication of the 180 year old mostly broken hinges on our house.[...] We are now using these hinges to restore the original shutters on Elmwood, a, 1838 home listed on the National Register of Historic Places and we plan to use this company for other reproduction hardware and supplies
Bing on a no-stinge hinge

A great find at a great price. Now I need some square nails and a horse shaver (to make horse-hair plaster). I've got an 1850's Toll House. I asked the mayor if I could commence collections again. Still waiting on word.

first time shutter installation
Comments:
Even though the hedges came unfinished, I painted them in a black satin finish. The results were great! They look very good on this 1840 brick federal home. I plan to purchase more in the furture. Sincerely, Bill Cox

Match the originals perfectly
if authentic restoration matters to you.

I haven't had the time to powder coat these hinges yet, but once I've done that and installed the new shutters and latches, I'm sure that they will last as long as the originals did (75 years). These have a unique design in the sense that they're built to hold the shutters in a fully open or closed position. Originally, our historic Ohio home had been installed with these hinges on our shutters for the sake of decor. When I needed to replace several of them because they had been torn away in a storm, I decided to make sure that the new shutters could be closed in preparation for tornadic weather. The original shutters that were torn from the house in that storm could have withstood the wind had they been designed to be closed and not just hung for aesthetic appeal. If you are installing new shutters and decide to use these hinges, you may want to purchase and hang yours as I did with proper size and position that they may be closed.
Just like old (instead of just like new)

We're trying to restore the shutters and hinges on our family farmhouse which was built in 1900, so finding the right hinges and shutter dogs is very important to us. Now tht we have hung the shutters we will look into the shutter dogs that are offered in your catalog.
