Hey guys I am looking for tiny door hinges around 5 mm in size. Does anyone know if they make hinges that small and where I could find them? The smallest I am able to find is 8 mm as seen here link

I've seen smaller ones among dollhouse or wooden model ship stuff. Can't remember which. Will try and look it up in a few minutes. Dan

Have you spoken to Tom Thumb? I'm sure he could hook you up.8-D actually two places to look, jewelers and maybe doll house people, a bit of googlefu will be needed.

Also, look in the RC section of your local hobby shop. There are some that are hinges for smaller scale elevators on gas powered planes. usually made from viynal (sp?) but can be painted. Usually just a few dollars and found on their "bits" wall.

You could also make your own with these tiny things, but perhaps it is too different from what you want: link

Dolls' house makers' suppliers should give you a good choice. Google for "doll house hardware" .

Use eyeglass hinges? Quite a variety out there, and not sure how much they'd cost in bulk….
