The 6218 Black Mini Spiked Corner Hinge is the smallest spiked hinge in the XKY 62xx series, designed for mini picture frames, thin craft panels, and model-scale assemblies where the larger 6229 or 6234 bodies would over-span the moulding. At 1.65g and 13×19mm, it delivers reliable spike-lock joining at micro scale.

What moulding width range is the 6218 designed for?

The 6218 is optimised for mouldings 8–12mm wide. For mouldings 12–18mm wide, use the 6229 series for better coverage. For mouldings under 8mm, the G1321 single-hole hinge (T11) is recommended.

How does the 6218 compare to the 6220 clip hinge in size?

Both are 13mm wide, but the 6218 is 3mm taller (19mm vs 16mm) and uses directional spike tabs rather than folding clips, providing stronger pull-out resistance in wood mouldings but requiring a firmer installation strike.

Is the 6218 suitable for painted frames?

Yes. The matte black finish accepts paint overcoats well. For painted frames, install before painting so the hinge body is painted over and effectively concealed in the joint.

6218 Black Mini Spiked Corner Hinge – Micro-Scale Spike Hinge for Thin Panels

The 6218 Black Mini Spiked Corner Hinge fills the gap between the ultra-compact 6220 clip hinge and the standard-size 6229 spike hinge, providing a purpose-built solution for mini picture frames, thin craft panels (6–12mm moulding), and model-scale assemblies requiring a reliable mechanical join without adhesive.

Micro Spike Design

Each leaf of the 6218 features four compact spike tabs (2 per side) spaced across the 13mm leaf width. At 4.5mm penetration depth, the spikes engage fully in mouldings as thin as 8mm without breaking through the opposing face — a critical requirement for thin frame mouldings.

Specifications

Installation

Position the hinge at the corner join with spike tabs aligned to the moulding cross-grain. A single firm thumb press seats the top spikes; complete seating with a rubber mallet strike. For mouldings under 10mm thick, hand-press only to avoid over-penetration.

Applications

Mini picture frames (under 15cm), thin-moulding craft frames, balsa wood model assemblies, cardboard display stands, educational craft kits, and photo display boards for tabletop use.

Size Position in the XKY 62xx Series

The 6218 Black Mini Spiked Corner Hinge is the smallest in the spiked series: 6218 (13×19mm, 1.65g) → 6220 (13×16mm clip, 1.4g) → 6229 (14×27mm, 1.9g) → 6234 (18×28mm, 2.9g) → 6241 (24×38mm, 6.7g). Choose the 6218 for mouldings 8–12mm wide; step up to the 6229 for mouldings 12–18mm wide.
