Some reviews say this model has METAL hinges in the back. Does it?

Short version is no, the hinge is molded plastic continuous with the body and the lid. However there are two metal hinge pins. I have owned many of these footlockers for use on mission trips to Africa and other places, they have been overloaded stacked and abused and the hinges have never failed. I recommend this product.

Yes. It has hinges that can be placed on the inside or outside which determines the way the door opens.

Yes. This item comes with a manufactur warranty. I would not recommend this item, due to a current issue with the hinges that is not covered by the warranty.

No -- it's a rigid plastic with no hinges, but it does disassemble. Not elegantly mind you, but it does disassemble and if you travel a lot, perhaps you can do it rather quickly but I'm of the opinion the designers didn't have travel in mind.

Yes it does. The hinges at the top fold down and the bottom section folds in.

The hinges are a sturdy plastic. I have had no problem with the hinges loosing or breaking. This is the best toilet seat I've ever purchased. I plan on getting another one to give to my brother.

No, not those soft hinges that they have on kitchen cabinets. It has adjustable, metallic hinges.

It only comes with one set of hinges, however we do sell extra hinges on Amazon for this very reason. If you need the extra set of hinges then just add it to the order and we will make sure that you get the extra set for 2 false fronts. We want to make it as easy as possible.

Now that I see this picture, mine in black does seem to have same problem. It's really not noticeable...the hinge is just not real strong...I'm glad I bought this, but I'm not expecting it to last for years.

Unless they've updated the model (we bought this part number in 2011), the hinges are metal mounted in plastic. Our plastic is cracking, and I have to buy a new door for ~$100.

I checked last night and found the hinges are metal, not plastic like I thought they were. Hope this helps

I agree with Joe T., with one exception. I do not think the two little hinges on the inside are made of metal. They appear to me to be made of a very sturdy plastic as well.

It has brass hinges. This is a very high quality product, great craftsmanship and very sturdy. If you're looking for a really nice display case this is it. I hope this helps.

The hinges are also steel and the base is welded. I have had mine for a couple years now and still love it. Every hinge is adjustable and can tighten.

yes, there is a hinge. I bought this for my dad who is 96. He can use it very easily and that was why I purchased it.

Not that I have found... the metal is not terribly sturdy - the hinges are weak and will bend inward when closing if you are not careful - I have to help them each time I close the case. Even with that I still think this was the best deal out there.

No it does not it had a fixed side to side hinge. It does have adjustable tilt.
