ALVO Solid Brass Hinge

The ALVO is a solid brass butt hinge with a decorative ball-tip finial on the pin. It is a small detail that most people will not notice consciously, but it lifts the edge of the door above standard hardware. The leaves are heavy-gauge brass with countersunk screw holes and square corners, designed to be morticed flush into the door edge and frame.

Four finishes are available: satin brass, antique brass, matte black, and unlacquered brass. Satin brass and antique brass suit traditional and transitional interiors. Matte black gives a sharper, more contemporary look, especially on lighter doors. Unlacquered brass will develop a natural patina with time.

Each pair is sold with matching screws included. For standard internal doors, three pairs of hinges are recommended (top, middle, and bottom). The square-cornered leaves are a period detail that pairs well with mortice locks and lever handles in the same finish.

Where it works best
- Internal doors throughout the house, especially where handles and other door furniture are in matching brass finishes
- Period and heritage properties where ball-tip hinges are an expected detail
- New builds and renovations looking for a step up from standard pressed-steel hinges
- Bathroom, bedroom, and hallway doors

Match with other brass door hardware in the same finish for a coordinated look across the house.
