Neat Elite Range – robust, easy fitting & attractive

These hinges are extremely easy to fit in three easy steps: rout, drill and fit. You only need a mortise cut into the box with an 8mm downcut spiral, then drill the holes (drill jig available) and fit. They come with a mirror polished finish and are the only siderail hinges in the world with a true fully round knuckle. This is achieved using a unique stop system, which is concealed inside. The Neat Elite hinges are an incredibly attractive hinge whether viewing from inside the box or from the rear of the box. Ian will soon be offering a gold-plated version, which he produces in-house to control quality and keep the cost to a minimum.

Neat Elite Lock: great action, easy fitting & quality

The New Neat Elite Jewellery Box Lock is the only solid brass full mortise box lock on the market. The lock mechanism has a very satisfying click on opening and closing, which is due to its unique internal design. It is far superior in quality to the plated ones available. This is a precision made, full mortise box lock. So, don't risk your plating flaking or use a weaker base material for locks on your perfect boxes. Instead, buy the ultimate box lock directly from Ian, online.

They supply each lock with two sets of screws and one elegant key.
