Almost every modern hinge pack is rounded-corner. This one is the exception that a lot of older and custom doors actually need: an 18-pack of 3.5 inch brushed nickel hinges with square corners, and a removable pin.

Square corners are not a style choice — they’re a mortise match. If your door’s hinge mortises are cut square, a radius hinge leaves gaps at the corners and sits wrong. This pack exists for those doors, in satin nickel’s brushed finish, and it holds a 4.7 average across 357 Amazon ratings. See also: goldenwarm 3 Pack Brushed Nickel Door Hinges Review.

The short answer

Buy this 18-pack if your mortises are cut square: eighteen 3.5 inch brushed nickel hinges with square-corner leaves and removable pins, rated 4.7 out of 5 across 357 ratings. Rounded mortises? You want a 5/8 radius pack instead — the Design House nickel set below is the name-brand route.

What you’re getting

Eighteen 3.5 inch interior hinges in brushed (satin) nickel with square-corner leaves and removable pins. The removable pin is the practical extra: doors come off for painting, flooring and furniture-moving by driving the pin out, instead of unscrewing hinges and disturbing the mortise fit.

The good and the not-so-good

  • Square corners for square mortises — the fit most packs ignore.
  • Removable pins: doors lift off for painting without unscrewing a thing.
  • Six doors per pack in the soft silver finish that suits most interiors.
  • 4.7 average across 357 ratings — a niche part with a happy crowd.

Worth knowing before you buy

  • Square leaves in radius mortises rock on the corners — check your mortises first.
  • 357 ratings is a smaller base than the big radius packs carry.

Who they’re for — and who should skip them

Anyone whose mortises are square-cut: many older doors, many custom and high-end factory doors. Check before you order anything — pull one hinge and look at the mortise corners. If they’re rounded, you want the 5/8 radius packs instead.

More doors in nickel? The 42-pack brushed nickel set is the same hardware idea at renovation scale — we cover it in our 42-pack review.

Fitting them

  1. Confirm the mortise corners are square before opening the pack — a square leaf must match a square mortise exactly.
  2. Swap one hinge at a time with the door hanging.
  3. Use the removable pin to take doors off entirely when you’re painting: it’s what it’s for.
