    Default Need help finding brass butt hinge

    HI all, need to do a small repair to a desk made out of an oak church pew.

    I'm having trouble locating brass butt hinges in imperial sizes.

    I'm looking for 2-1/2" x 1-3/8" (open) three holes butt hinge. If anyone can help locate one locally (Melb) or by internet order I would appreciate it greatly.

    thanks,

    Adam

    Then why not find 2 or 4 hole hinges the right size and replace all of them?

    the location where these need to be fitted is only about 12-15mm thick. I'm concerned about the integrity of the timber if I go screwing into new holes in close proximity to the old holes.

    You could drill out the old screw holes, glue in some dowel, then fit the new hinges. No one will ever know
