PHOTO MATCHING SERVICE

The hinge is discontinued. The frame doesn't have to be.

Eyeglass hinges are not universal parts — leaf footprints, hole spacing and barrel counts differ maker to maker, year to year. When the original supplier is gone, we match the hinge instead: send a photo, we compare it against our full pattern library — and what isn't in the library can usually be built by hand — then make and ship the closest fit as samples first.

  1. STEP 01

    Photograph the hinge

    Top-down and side-on, next to a millimeter ruler or a coin. Both frame-side and temple-side halves if you can. Phone photos are fine — sharpness beats resolution.

  2. STEP 02

    We identify it

    We check barrel count, leaf footprint, hole spacing and mounting style against our pattern library, and reply with the match — or the nearest fit and what differs.

  3. STEP 03

    Confirm with samples

    Physical samples ship with a dimension sheet so you can verify fit on the actual frame before committing to quantity.

  4. STEP 04

    Order at any scale

    From repair-lab packs to distributor volume. Reorders reference your match number — no re-identification needed.

Who uses matching

Repair labs & optical shops

A customer's favorite frame with a snapped hinge is a lost sale without a matched part. Labs keep our matches on file by frame brand.

Parts distributors

Fill the gaps in your replacement catalog with models the original factories stopped supporting.

Brands with legacy lines

Honor warranty repairs on frames whose original hinge supplier no longer exists — without retooling the frame.

Start a match: email photos to qq1968176707@gmail.com or use the inquiry form.

Have the photo already?

Attach it with a ruler in frame and any brand or model markings you can read. We reply with an identification or the nearest pattern we can make.
