Butterfly & X-Small Strap Hinges – Collection FAQs

1. What are butterfly and x-small strap hinges used for?
These hinges are ideal for cabinet doors, small furniture doors, decorative boxes, shutters, and light-duty interior doors. They provide smooth movement while adding charming old-world detail to smaller projects.

2. How are your butterfly hinges different from standard decorative hinges?
Old West Iron butterfly hinges are made from thicker steel with crisp cuts and hand-finished textures. Unlike thin stamped hinges from hardware stores, ours offer authentic forged styling, superior durability, and heirloom-quality craftsmanship.

3. How do I choose the right size butterfly or x-small strap hinge?
Match the hinge size to the width and height of your cabinet or furniture door. Smaller doors work best with compact hinges, while slightly larger butterfly hinges add both function and visual presence. Always ensure the hinge leaf size fits your mounting area.

4. What finishes and textures are available?
These hinges are offered in matte black, natural iron, oil-rubbed bronze, and hand-distressed finishes. Hammered, peened, and antique textures are applied in-house to coordinate perfectly with our knobs, pulls, and rustic fasteners.

5. Are your butterfly and small strap hinges hand-forged?
Many designs feature hand-applied textures, hammered edges, and individually worked details by our American blacksmiths. Structural hinge components are precision-cut for smooth action, then finished by hand for authentic wrought-iron character.

6. What are the lead times and where are these small hinges made?
Most butterfly and x-small strap hinges ship within 1–10 business days, depending on finish and style. All decorative and custom-finished hinges are made or finished in the USA at our Idaho forge.
