MANSHU 40pcs Small Box Hinges, 20 Sets Antique Right Latch Hook Hasp Wood Jewelry Box Hasp Catch Decoration with 240 Pieces Replacement Screws - Bronze Tone

I'm making some small boxes from scrap wood and needed some box hardware. I found these and decided to give these a shot because they were priced right.They arrived well packaged, with the hinges, latches and screws in their own separate bags. The screws were double bagged to ensure none were lost.The material used for the hinges and latches is very thin. If too much torque is applied to the screws, the latches will deform. The hinge pins are loose fitting, so there is a little slop. The latch pivots are inconsistent - some are hard to rotate, some are easy.The first hinge I installed, the last screw broke at the head, leaving the threaded portion in the wood. I used a screw lubricant (bees wax or bar soap work) on the remaining installations and had no issues (these were being installed on ash boxes). I used super glue to glue the broken screw head in place.The finish on these are superb.All in all. these are a great value and work well for their intended purpose.

I figured by the price that these wouldn't be top of the line in the quality and material departments. I always look at quality compared to cost when I rate items. I knew that I was going to get what I paid for with these. That is why I rated them with a 4 star rating.The quality of the hinges is decent. They aren't the best, but they aren't the worst either. The folded metal is a little sloppy on some of them and the hinge pin is not the best. I also didn't expect perfection at this cost. They are what I expected with what I paid.The Hasps are near garbage. They are press formed and very light weight. They bend super easy and I don't think they would hold up to every day use. The pressing of the metal isn't very good. The pieces are bent and you have to bend them to work properly.The screws are the main reason I bought this item. I needed short screws for the hinged boxed I make. The screws are very small and the screw threads are tiny. They look well constructed and machined really nice. I've used several of them and they seem okay. I did have one head break off without much pressure applied. That would be about a 3% failure rate. Not bad for as small as these are. I would highly recommend pre-drilling holes with these.Overall I think the price is decent and the quality is just okay. So they don't deserve a 5 star, but I think for the price they are decent overall.

Made my wife a potato and onion holder (which I'd never heard of before) for our anniversary. Once I got the project mostly together I needed hardware to hold hinged doors and lids. I used these for exactly that.Honestly they are perfect as long as they aren't going to be experiencing a very heavy load. What I've used them on might be the extent of what the can handle though I can't be sure. The color and function are great. I recommend to anyone who needs small clasps like these for projects of their own.--David--

These are some kind of stamped metal and was hoping for something a little more substantial. They work but the quality leaves a little to be desired.
