The hand-forged chest hinges in medieval style measure approximately 26 x 6 cm (with leg lengths of 19 cm and 7 cm) and have a material thickness of about 3 to 4 mm. For authentic mounting on historical chests, hand-forged lock nails are recommended, which are often included in the delivery.
What kind of care does the hand-forged steel chest strap require to protect it from corrosion and maintain its functionality in the long term?

To protect the hand-forged chest strap from corrosion and maintain its functionality, it should be treated regularly, ideally every six months to a year, with a corrosion protection oil or a light oil. Suitable products include WD40, CRC Marine 66, or Innox, which should be applied thinly to the visible surfaces.
What are the weight differences between the various sets of hand-forged chest straps, and how does the 3 mm material thickness affect the load-bearing capacity when used on heavy oak chests?

The various sets of hand-forged chest hinges differ primarily in their length and associated weight, with a material thickness of 3 mm ensuring high stability in all versions. This thickness guarantees enormous load-bearing capacity, preventing the hinges from bending even on heavy oak chests and ensuring secure lid operation.
