Help me find this hinge

[Stinkpot]

I need a pair of polished stainless or chromed brass hinges like the first picture, but BIG. Like around 8" or more long when opened, has to be flush for recessed mounting, I want the same oval shape and I don't want the typical "table" hinge which has the extra link in it like the 2nd picture. Seems all I can find are hinges that are maybe 3" or so long. Anybody know of a source? Thanks!

Here is the mfgrs page for that hinge. I didnt go crazy but I think a 4x6 is about as big as you might find but they will be rectangular at that point instead of the shape you have.

WHatzit4?

Tuna Pursuit - Oh, don't worry I'll keep a shine on her.

Toolate - thanks for the link, but you're right nothing that size in that shape. I know I've seen them before on large deck hatches, but of course I didn't need them at that time...

The hinges are actually for my house, which has a strange means of accessing the basement; through a floor hatch. Lift the hatch, which is hardwood matching the rest of the floor, and there's a set of steps under it to get to the basement.

There were plain steel hinges on it before, but it was covered with carpet so it didn't matter what they looked like. Now, since it's visible, I want it to have that nautical flair with stainless oval flush hinges. I bought table hinges but they're way too small, and that extra link in them doesn't work too well for this heavy hatch cover.

Thanks!

Okay, we're getting closer; thanks Chortle for the links but they're either just undersized or not quite the right shape. I know, I know, look who wants the moon!

They must be out there...

Thanks!

Polished brass would look good too or polished nickel. Just regular house grade stuff. Not round nautical looking tho.

 

[Tuna Pursuit]

if the steel ones are in good shape you can ahve them nickle flash plated or even chromed.

 

[Stinkpot]

Thought about that. They're a little beat up, but not too bad. Any idea what something like that costs, roughly?

Gave my wife the option of the brass, bronze or stainless look; she chose SS, so you know what that means. Besides, I already recessed one of these:

Stinkpot:

I think I can easily fabricate a pair of hinges to the size and shape you want that look way better and "tighter" than the hinge in your original post. Or, if you have a source, I'll send you a drawing and you can have it fab'd yourself. Send me an email if you're interested.
