    Posted by Ava on Sep 15th 2023

    I recently purchased the Ives 5BB1 Steel 5-Knuckle Ball Bearing Full Mortise Hinge from zensupply.com and I'm pleased. The installation was a breeze, and the hinges work smoothly, providing a reliable operation. However, they're a bit pricier compared to others on the market. Overall, a solid choice for durable and smooth-functioning hinges.
