CARDO Solid Brass Butt Hinges

The CARDO is a proper solid brass butt hinge — the kind of hardware detail that quietly elevates the feel of every door in your home. Forged from solid brass and finished by hand, each hinge has the satisfying weight and precision you would expect from quality door furniture. The leaves sit flat and flush, the knuckle turns smoothly, and the overall proportions are considered and refined.

Available in two finishes: Matte Black, with its bold, contemporary edge, and Satin Brass, offering a warm, brushed lustre that sits beautifully alongside other brass hardware. Both finishes are unlacquered, meaning they will develop a gentle patina over time — or can be maintained with a simple brass polish if you prefer to keep them fresh.

Choose from two sizes: the 102mm hinge suits standard lightweight internal doors, while the 128mm is better suited to heavier or taller doors. Each hinge is supplied as a pair with matching solid brass screws, so you have everything you need for a clean, coordinated installation. We recommend three hinges per door for doors over 2m in height.

Where it works best

• Internal doors throughout the home — bedrooms, bathrooms, living spaces
• Paired with CARDO or complementary door handles for a cohesive hardware scheme
• Period properties where solid brass fittings are in keeping with the character
• New builds and renovations where quality hardware makes a lasting impression
• Hallway and landing doors where hinges are on constant display

The CARDO hinges pair naturally with door handles, knobs, and accessories from the meraki. range. Consider coordinating with matching Satin Brass or Matte Black lever handles for a unified look across every room.
