Are these actual hinges or purely decorative? If real, how much weight will a pair support?

Decorative only. The hinge is just a piece of welded round stock to the flat plate.

Not sure, but these are really heavy duty. We have 8' tall, thick alder doors 4 hinges per door and they feel really nice.

If they are under 15 lbs you should be okay. I tested 25lbs just to see what it could handle. At that weight the glass and hinge bend way too much, just for your reference.

We rate our Hinges at 300 lbs. Load weight. The actual engineered raiting is 1160 lbs. Dynamic load and roughly 520 static load. We do have a lifetime warranty on our hardware as long as you stay within our 300 lbs. Of load weight.

Hi There, did you end up ordering these hinges? Do you by chance have the dimensions? I am wondering the same thing too... the dimensions listed doesn't seem accurate. Looks like average hinges are 2.76 in height and I am trying to confirm that before I order. If you can provide any answers, that would be very helpful. Thank you!

We are using them in a public setting to protect rare and valuable wall hangings; weight has not been an issue. Sorry I can be more helpful.

They are really sturdy and can stand up to a lot of weight. My only advice would be that they are really hard to decorate on. I was super excited to get them and then gave them away because they stood empty the whole time I had them. I couldn't send them back because it says once u open box u can not return them. Hope this helps!

I found somewhere the hinges that your looking to buy would hold 250 lbs. I built my bookshelf out of 1x6 spruce lumber but I'm only using mine for DVDs. But honestly the hinges are heavy duty enough for close to anything. I changed the design of mine to accommodate them to work better for my application.

I'm not real sure what the max is, but the door I put them on weighs some where around 100 lbs. Two hinges were used before, an it was installed by a so called professional, but they didn't last long. Both hinges broke so I replaced them and added a third, seems to be working much better. I read someplace or either saw a chart that has the weight limits on it. Hope this helps.

I am no expert but I believe they are solid. They are quite heavy and we have been very happy with them.

Use common sense. Glue at points were you can see future wobble. I bought two at Harbor Freight. They are made out of an attractive China wood. I'm sure they can hold a couple hundred pounds easy if glued.

They are solid. You should know I use this as a lingerie chest. I can not say it would for heavy items.

That do have a slight drop. But they swing freely and are not sagging enough that the door rubs againstthe bottom of the unit when closing. Take the time toget the hinges right when you are putting it together. They are pretty sturdy. And just to clarify that sag, I didn't notice, it was the wife that did. When the doors are closed it is not noticeable unless you measure it against something. Ultimately the wife said we'll keep it. So it must not be to bad.

I don't know yet. i was planning on using them this coming summer and haven't tried but having seen them, they deffinately look sturdy enough to hold whatever you're intrested in. A very solid piece of hardware....all metal

Whatever you attach them to needs to be able to support the weight. The main problem with a doorframe is that there is not much room to move around so positions for use would be very limited.

They are pretty sturdy, especially when glued. Though I can't imagine they would be comfortable for larger person anyway.

I have my speakers very snugly attached screwing them directly into the female threads on my speakers (thus, I am not using the keyhole approach with this set). My speakers weigh about 2 pounds each. I am not sure I would want any heavier of a speaker with these.
