Description

This set of Victorian-style Acme Cast-Iron Mortise Shutter Hinges (4 1/2-Inch x 2 7/8-Inch) is used in applications when enough wood trim is exposed within the window opening to mount the shutters. Unlike surface mounted straps, they are mortised into the edge of the shutter and the inside edge of the window frame (much like an interior door hinge). Mass produced by Lull & Porter in the mid-nineteenth century, the Acme hinge features a patented locking pintle design where the outer leaf rises slightly when opening then sets down to lock in place in the fully open or shut position, preventing lift-off from strong winds. When needed, the shutters are easily lifted off by hand without removing the hardware. Made of raw, cast iron, they must be primed and painted to prevent rusting. The set includes two right-hand hinges, two left-hand hinges and two sill-mounted fasteners - enough to complete one window. Screws are not included.

Dimensions:
Hinge: 4 1/2" W x 2 7/8" H leaf, 3 3/8" H w/ pintle
Leaf: 15/16" W. Throw: 2 3/4". Offset: 1 3/8".
Catch hatch and latch: 1 1/8" H x 1 3/4" W . Projection 1 1/2". Keeper: 1 1/8" x 13/16".

Beautiful piece of history.

Comments:

Shutters should shut. Functional beats fake every time and these will function as designed.

Incredibly satisfied

Comments:

Just crafted cedar shutters for my reproduction French Creole farm house. These Acme hinges live-up to their name as far as function and quality. Installation was somewhat involved due to the mortises having to be cut, but well worth the effort. The added architectural interest is fantastic and many of my neighbors have commented on the addition to the house. Since the shutter function, i anticipate added protection from the harsh Southern weather. I can't imagine a more profound change for the minimal expense!

IT ALL HINGES ON THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT

Comments:

I am restoring a 200 yr. old farm house.I'm building board and batten shutters and ordered 2 hinge sets to get started with.The hinges came well packed.The sets were individually wrapped.At first I thought the pin fit was a little sloppy but with paint and allowing for the lack of squareness of the house and any possible misalignment on my part,I'm happy and figure they will work better a lil' loose than tight.I'm going for functionality.

Just in time

Comments:

The replacement for a broken hinge arrived before my wife got back from a vacation and works great when installed correctly by a do-it-yourselfer, but the hinge will break when installed upside down or too far in the window opening by a professional installer named Kevin who charges a lot.

Just ok. Look good until they start to rust

Comments:

I bought these to match the vintage shutter hardware on the outside of my house. I wish I had realized these were literally just metal with no coating or anything. Two of them are already rusting and they've been up for about a week. Also the hinges don't come with matching screws so I had to make an extra trip to the hardware store which I did not expect. Just ok product. I think they make them when you order them so took longer to arrive than I anticipated.
