Small Hinges for My Interior Hardware

My purchase and Amazon option

Small hinges appear among my interior-hardware purchases.

The featured Amazon option is Keenkee Brass Butt Hinges.

Where it fits my build

I built the storage-bin drawer frame on the patio from a measured layout. I joined the timber, added inside corner brackets and fitted the base before moving on to the lining.

I cut the rubber mat with scissors, cleaned the wood and used spray adhesive in sections with a roller. Screws and washers attached the mat, and the slides joined the drawer to its surrounding cabinet frame.

My build notes

The drawer went through several distinct stages before it could slide in the cabinet. The photographs show the exposed frame first and the lined drawer later, making the changes in access and fastening positions visible.

Measuring, framing, lining and slide installation were separate stages of the drawer assembly.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

Keenkee uses brass butt hinges, while Tulead and Murtenze provide white and black hinge options. Their sizes, finishes and mounting-hole layouts offer different starting points for a small hinged panel.

On the patio during the roof-storage project.
