Guys,
I am not impressed with the box hinges from the box stores. I can never get the lid to set flat in the back and it appears that the barrel of the hinge on these cheap hinges don't allow the two flat sides to rest against each other. I mortised out the lid and back of the box so the blades of the hinge are flush but when I screw the hinge down the front of the lid is closed but the rear where the hinges are mounted is proud???? - am I installing them wrong?
Thanks
Frank
