[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinge '''Hinges'''] enable two parts of a product some limited rotation against each other ''(i.e.lid of a box, doors, and gates)''. They are available in a range of materials ''(e.g. steel, brass, plastics)'' and a variety of finishes ''(e.g. polished, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroplating electro-plated], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization galvanised] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanning Japanned])''.

Many hinges are set into the body of the product in some way ''(e.g. recesses, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortise_and_tenon mortises] or holes cut or drilled into the abutting edges)'' and others are applied directly to the surface.

'''Stays''' in general are any device which steadies or supports a structure in some way ''(e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy-wire Guy Ropes or Wires] used to support boat masts, aerial masts and tents)'' and, in the the context of this article, '''Cabinet Stays''' are used to restrict, limit or control hinge rotation.
