    Hi,
    I'm looking for a hinge to use on the side of a seat I am making to enable the back to fold down. It would need to be connected to the side of the seat base and back as opposed to the end (if that makes sense!). Any particular name for this type of hinge?

    Thanks for any help.

    Ladder hinge I think, not sure where you'd get them in Ireland though.
    I got some ages ago for a folding ladder somewhere in the UK but I honestly couldn't tell you where

    EDIT : actually that image is from a shop in the UK :o

    Hope that helps

    You will find them under 'Card table Hinges'. There are lots of online sources - google is your friend.:rolleyes:
