8 Pack Table Leg Folding Brackets Lock Extension Support Bracket Foldable Self Lock Hinges for Table Legs, Bed Leg, Workbench

I haven’t installed these yet, but from opening the package, these seem to be well built and sturdy. They are certainly a bit stiff at first, but already seemed to open and close a little easier after a few times, and I’m guessing they will function better once installed too, since I’ll then have more leverage.

To be honest, I have not used these yet as I decided to change the design of my project before these arrived, although I am certain that I will use them on another project in the near future. That being said, here's what I can tell you about these folding brackets so far. First of all, they were much smaller than I expected. I had perceived them to be about twice the size of what they actually are, but the dimensions are given in the description, so that was just my own brain assuming and the important thing is that they are the right size to work with a 2x4 or 4x4 as a leg. They are a bit difficult to open and close, but I feel that once they are mounted that they will probably operate aa smoothly as they should. These do seem to be well made and I'm pretty sure I would buy them again and once I do use these, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need more. I do think they are a great value for the price.

These are very solid, heavy metal that latch securely when open. You get plenty of screws to install them. The screws were a tad long for the 3/4" lumber I made legs from, needed to be ground down flush with the board on the screws pointed side, but in what I was building, was not an issue. You will also need a firm table to secure them to, I used blocks of wood bigger than the hinge and attached those to the table bottom. I was just building a utility table, not furniture. When I first installed 4, they locked open and stayed that way, any wobbly or shakiness you might have with them will be on your construction, not on these hinges. When closed, they locked the legs in the closed position so they did not flop around. But, as I finished up the table, stained and polyurethaned it, for some reason the legs will not stay securely in the closed position. I don't know if I got some polyurethane on them somehow, or if when the table leg is closed the lock pin is not engaging the lock detent fully. I am still trying to understand what changed and if this was my fault or if the few times I opened and closed them the close detent got a bit worn. I do not see any wear marks, so thinking it is something in my work.The lock open detent is more robust and deep, and you have to use the little release handle to get them to close, and is a pinch point depending on how you put your hand. I think the issue with my project is that the latch needs a leg that will go just a bit beyond the normal 90 degrees when folded in, to allow the lock close detent to fully engage and not just slip slightly into the detent.

Solid product. Great functionality, strong and worth the money!

Good

Works great, wish there was some instruction with it.

These are terrible. They've never worked easily, and they've already rusted. We used them on a project that will be a beast to replace them on too. Disappointed.

Works very well.

It works great for building a soccer rebounder for my son. It is heavy-duty and locks in place. It shows no signs of collapsing while in use.

Las compré para colocarlas en el mueble de la foto para que la cubierta bajara y subiera, el mecanismo funciona a la perfección.

I like the positive strong lock, and they come with lots of screws. They are not exactly 90 degrees, and the way they are built I think it would be hard to alter that even a little. I am using the to make a folding outfeed table for my band saw.. They work great for my use.

Lo utilice para hacer unas mesas y me quedaron increíbles, lo volví a comprar para hacer más..
