Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of hinge I can use on my box project? I want the lid to hang over the back by about a half an inch, not sure what type of hinge I would need… HELP!

The top will hit the back, before getting upright, and fall shut. I put my hinges on the outside of my boxes. Simple… just screw them on. -- No PHD just a DD214 Lubbock Texas

The overhanging lid acts as a stop to hold the lid open at about 100 degrees. These are very easy to do. -- " I'll try to be nicer, if you'll try to be smarter" gfadvm
