Box hinges are constructed to prevent opening past a certain point, either with knuckles that bind against one another or with a curved "Quadrant" stay. While these hinges are fine and look sophisticated their use should be restricted to small and medium sized boxes. Because the leverage of the lid is transmitted through the mounting screws to a relatively small area at the back of the box these hinges should not be used on larger boxes or chests. In these cases regular hinges working in conjunction with separate lid stays will do a better job.
