Constructed from steel with a warm bronze finish, this asymmetric hinge features a short leaf for the fixed table apron and a longer leaf for the drop section — engineered for the precise geometry that keeps drop leaves flush and stable when raised.Sold individually and includes matching screws, so you have everything needed for a clean, hardware-matched installation.Product Specifications Part Number: H-278L Material: Steel with bronze finish Overall Height: 3 inches Overall Width: 1-1/4 inches Short Leaf (attaches to table): 1-1/4 inches Long Leaf (attaches to drop leaf): 1-3/4 inches Holes: 3 countersunk holes per leaf Sold: Individually, with matching screws Installation NotesThe short leaf mounts to the fixed table apron; the long leaf mounts to the underside of the drop leaf. The asymmetric leaf length is critical for proper alignment — ensure the long leaf is oriented toward the drop section before drilling pilot holes. Three countersunk holes per leaf allow for a flush, screw-secure fit with no exposed hardware.Related Drop Leaf & Table HardwareNeed a heavier-duty steel option?
