2 Pack Adjustable Torque Hinge Position Control OWACH BH-672-2 for Electronics Box, pochade Box Replacement E6-10-301-20

I needed a hinge that would lock in position and this tough little plastic hinge was perfect. I like that it’s very durable.

These hinges are heavy duty and did a great job holding the paint box’s lid firmly in place. My husband replaced the original flimsy hinges on the paint box with these ones to make the lid to stay upright and withstand the pressure of a paintbrush strokes and the hinges did the trick. They helped me save hundreds of dollars by allowing me to have a DIY paintbox made instead of buying a ready to use one that would break the bank.

Worked well for attaching a lexon hatch to an electronics box that I built for my boat. I like the adjustable feature for tension of the hinge

Love that these are small and lightweight. Disliked the round headed screw to tighten the torque which gets in the way of the hinge closing so I replaced it with a flat headed screw. Also the torque could be stronger. I wouldn’t buy again for my purposes but this may be ok depending on application.

I’m using these on a pochade box for my oil paints, which is a Sennelier paint box that I’m setting up to mount on a tripod. The box had floppy hinges. These torque hinges are working much better. The only downside is that the box no longer stands vertical on the hinges when closed, but of course the idea is to have it horizontal and open for painting. :)
