The Small Lid Hinge is approximately 1.5" long x 5/8" wide and is used to attach small lids to the casket body. The Double Casket uses two small lid hinges. Each small lid hinge comes with ten screws to attach it to the casket. Each hinge is three separate castings and is assembled by hand in England. Two hinges are needed for the top lid. On the mirror frame with doors you can use two hinges per door if seeing the hinges is desired.
