My grandchildren couldn't resist testing these out by repeatedly bending them and forcing the leaves down on the tray table beyond their intended ranges. Out of 8 hinges, 6 did actually survive this abuse. Compared to the originals that I bought from Horton Brasses 40 years ago, these are sturdier and much less expensive (plus Horton no longer sells them). Also, #8 screws fit these hinges better than the recommended #6. The brass screws, when inserted into hardwood (Granadillo), tended to either snap off at their heads or just not hold when the pilot holes were enlarged. Instead, I obtained brass-colored, heavy duty, Torx-head screws from Lowes (Home Depot didn't have them), which worked very well. Granadillo is a very dense, exotic hardwood and your experience using softer woods, such as mahogany, might work okay for you. Do realize that if your leaves are 3/4" thick, a 3/4" length screw will be too long.

Is the distance from the end of the hinge to where the actual hinge part is, the part that moves, ONE INCH in length....>?? IF it is then perhaps this hinge's over all length would work with my table...? I also am wondering if the "round ended" ones would have a different length in regards to that part of the total hinge item, in that my original hinges are a total overall length of THREE INCHES..... thanks..... I would hate to buy EIGHT and not have them work......!!

Hi Scott! The 2-1/2" is going to be the entire length of the hinge so half that would be 1-1/14". It's recommended to measure the entire length of your current hinge and the width at the widest point to compare and see if it would match.
