This is the no-name counterpart to the big-brand hinge packs: eighteen 3.5 inch matte black interior hinges, rounded 5/8 inch radius corners, sold as flat iron residential hardware for bedroom and bathroom doors.
The spec matches the standard template exactly, which raises the honest question this page exists to answer: what do you give up by not buying the famous version? Mostly, track record — this pack carries hundreds of ratings rather than tens of thousands. What the ratings say is reassuring: a 4.7 average puts it level with the best-known pack in the class.

The short answer
Buy this pack if the price gap is real: the same 3.5 inch, 5/8 radius, matte black spec as the famous 18-pack, with the same 4.7 out of 5 average — just a much smaller ratings base behind it (194 ratings). If the two packs are priced close, buy the track record instead.
What you’re getting
Eighteen standard interior hinges: 3.5 inch leaves, 5/8 inch radius rounded corners, matte black finish over flat iron. That covers six doors hung on three hinges each.
The flat iron construction is the traditional material for this class of hinge — perfectly serviceable for interior doors, which ask very little of a hinge beyond opening and closing quietly for years.

The good and the not-so-good
- Spec-for-spec identical to the big-brand 18-pack: size, corner, finish, count.
- A 4.7 out of 5 average that matches the class leader’s.
- Often priced below the branded equivalent for the same hardware template.
Worth knowing before you buy
- 194 ratings is a thin evidence base next to the Basics pack’s 15,000+.
- No-name brand: quality control rests on those ratings, not a maker’s reputation.
How it compares with the Amazon Basics pack
On paper the two packs are near-identical: same size, same corner radius, same finish, same count. The Amazon Basics 18-pack brings 15,000+ ratings of history and screws confirmed in the box; this pack brings a slightly lower typical price and a rating average that matches it. If the price gap is small, buy the track record. If it is wide, this pack’s own ratings say the hinges themselves are fine.
Renovating more than six doors? The 30-pack version covers ten doors in one box.
Fitting them
- Swap one hinge at a time with the door still hanging.
- Seat the new leaf into the old mortise and drive the screws.
- Check the corner radius against the hinge you removed — 5/8 inch radius is the common modern standard, but older doors differ.
- Work top to bottom, then test the swing before moving on.
Worth comparing
Amazon Basics 18-pack — the track record buy
The same template with 15,377 ratings behind it and screws confirmed in the box. The sensible default when the price difference is small — full detail in the Amazon Basics review.
The 30-pack — ten doors, one box
The renovation-sized version in the same finish, rated 4.8 out of 5 — see our 30-pack review.
Questions people ask
How many doors does an 18-pack cover?
Six doors at three hinges per door.
Are they the same size as standard door hinges?
Yes — 3.5 inch with a 5/8 inch radius corner is the residential interior standard.
Bedroom and bathroom doors — suitable?
Yes, that is the use they are sold for. Bathrooms are humid, so wipe-down matte black finishes earn their keep there.
The bottom line
Sometimes the generic pack really is the same hinge with a smaller logo budget. The ratings say this is one of those times — just check the price gap on the day, because that gap is the whole argument.
