Beeswax Hinges for Heritage & Handmade Joinery

Traditional Wax-Finished Hinges for Period Projects

Beeswax hinges are a staple in heritage ironmongery. Made from steel and treated with natural beeswax, they offer a dark, rich tone that gradually develops a soft patina over time. Ideal for traditional properties, they pair beautifully with oak, pine, and painted timber doors.

Our collection includes:

  • Ball bearing hinges – strong, functional and ideal for use on internal doors where fire safety or durability is required.
  • Rustic styles – like long strap or Tee hinges that suit ledged and braced doors, barn doors, and outbuilding entrances.

Please note: Beeswax finishes are not recommended for external use unless in covered areas, as exposure to rain and moisture can cause rusting. Indoors, they offer years of character and durability with occasional maintenance using wax or light oil.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use beeswax hinges outside, and do they require maintenance?

Standard beeswax hinges are generally recommended for indoor use only, as the natural wax finish is not designed to withstand moisture or prolonged exposure to the elements. In damp or external environments, the finish may deteriorate, leading to rust and discolouration.

For sheltered or covered areas, some customers choose to apply an extra layer of beeswax or a light oil to help protect the surface. However, this will require ongoing maintenance to preserve the appearance and prevent corrosion.

If you need a similar look for outdoor use, we recommend the External Beeswax range from From The Anvil, specially formulated for external conditions. This includes hinges, door and window hardware with a more durable protective finish:
