I have a customer who has requested ‘silver’ quadrant hinges and lock on a custom humidor. I’m not sure if they want polished or brushed finish.
Does anyoine out there know of a source for what I guess would be nickel plated or stainless steel quadrant hinges and a matching lock.
Thanks

Try Rockler.com, that's where I got mine.
I did check Rockler but all I see is the standard brass hinge. Am I missing something?Rich KnabPeople of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit.

I'll try them but I thought they only worked in solid brass. Thanks.Rich KnabPeople of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit.
google with "quadrant hinge nickel". I see a bunch of sources for polished nickel ones.

thanks to all of those that replied. I think I've found 2 sources and will have to see if the quality of the hinges will meet expectations.

Not to steal the thread, but I found what looks to be a very good deal on some quadrant hinges. It is an ebay auction, with buy it now. It is 24 hinges, 12 pairs for $9.99 with $4.50 shipping in the US. From the pictures it looks to be pretty good hinges. It is a company that made cigar boxes going out of business and selliing inventory. They have 27 lots left to sell, I bought two lots at that price. Most of the time you can touch a set of hinges for $9.99 let a lone get 12 pairs for that....

thanks for the heads up. I will definately check them out.Rich KnabPeople of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit.
Ended up ordering from hardwaresource.comI'll check out the quality when they arrive and decide then if I'll use them or return them. If they are junk, I guess I'll have to let the customer know that I couldn't find silver colored hinges that met my standards and I will have to make the humidor with the normal Brusso's instead.Rich KnabPeople of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit.
