The hinges were just what I wanted and needed for the project. They were just as described. They look awesome.
They seem reasonably sturdy and were what I was looking for. Had to teach my contractor how to install them, but not too difficult. I made large, heavy shutters for fairly large windows and they hold them easily.
First ordered the 4-pack then some more of these 1-pack ones and most of the studs were misaligned, I was able to bend them into position by using the strap as lever (link to identical 4-pack:

They look great and very thick. Definitely rustic some aren't welded square but doesn't make them less attractive or functional.
You may have to do a bit of bending to get them right. Odds are you are not going to want to use the supplied screws. I have to use them where the wood on the outiside of metal hinge when closed because my windows are almost flush with all (shutters cannot sit inside frame-reverse installation). Searching the Internet, these are definitely the best bang for the buck.
the quality is off the charts I could not be happier ,,,
This hardware is very high quality at a competitive price. Other than it being more common during the period of real, operable shutters, I’m scratching my head why the screws are all flat head and not phillips.
I have purchased many of these on Amazon because I couldn't find them anywhere else for the price and as a Prime member the shipping was included. I have used them to hang exterior hand-built shutters on our home. They look and function great. The construction appears well made and only the years will tell me how well they hold up.
We wanted appropriate-looking hinges for our 1831 home ~ needed hinges which would work in a tight location. These worked perfectly! The metal is a little thin but that was a plus when making fine adjustments.
I wanted a hinge that appears to be hand forged iron when viewed from a distance on my exterior & I am not disappointed. They appear to be well made, heavy gauge steel with what appears to be a powder coat of black paint. The pintle also appears very well constructed. I ordered 6 the first time and like them so well I'm ordering many more as I rebuild the shutters on our home. Attempting to find a similar hinge from other sources was considerably more expensive.
