When Hinges Creak Your Haunted Hardware Store. We make hundreds of resin cast decor pieces for haunted houses, theme parks & more. www.whenhingescreak.com

Supplier of Polytek Resins as well as Monster Makers sculpting supplies. Our products are all cast copies of hard-to-find and unusual parts. They are then finished to look right at home in your haunted attraction. We use the highest quality resins with no cheap fillers and our finishes are all done by hand. While not structural (they are purely decorative) we strive to make them as robust as we can, so they will hold up to many years of use and enjoyment. We have scoured the web, garage sales, flea markets, and antique shops to find hardware that we thought was unusual and neat-looking. We will be adding new items all the time, as we find them. We try to find items that are cool-looking and appropriate but that can also be made from our resin while maintaining their strength. We have several products that light up: gauges, electrical panels, vacuum tubes, etc. None utilize real glass but instead a clear resin, so there’s no shatter hazard. All are illuminated with 12-volt DC LEDs and can be run on 9 15-volt DC for safe and efficient use. You can even use a 9-volt battery for several days in a row of operation. LED lights last a long time, 50,000 hours is expected, though many go much longer than that.

INSULATORS

If Alex was a professional wrestler who would he be and why is it Danhausen?

Many pieces that are cast have what’s called a blind back 🙈. Your pour them into a flat mold and the part that is mounted to your sets is “the back” and is never seen by customers.

360 ⭕️ degree casting is a bit different. This is where your item can be viewed at any angle you position it at and it will look finished from, you guessed it, 360 degrees.

One of our 360 degree products are our INSULATORS ⚡️! These are perfect for anything from a mad scientist lab 🧪 to a dystopian electric plant 🚧.

It’s got a several millimeter thick resin skin that is back filled with a lightweight foam. That way it looks like it’s real ceramic but it has the durability 🦾 of resin and the light weight of foam 🫧!

Pop on over to our website (🔗 in bio) and complete your mad scientist rooms today.

Our (SUPER SCARY) Scissors

Let’s play a game of Clue except it’s Alex in the car that doesn’t run with a plastic pair of shears.

Now. SCISSORS. ✂️
One of our absolute favorite props that we make are our large scissors.

Props are an integral part of any show and the scarier the better 😰! Everyone has a favorite weapon that, on the surface, was never meant to be terrifying and then people like us go their hands on them😈. But whenever you need a piece of “weaponry” or something that needs to look like it can harm someone, it’s always better to have the SAFE version than the unsafe version. 🦺

These are a single cast piece that are completely safe and non functional.
That’s why these are absolutely perfect. They look dangerous and they can be handled safely without the threat to your actors or your patrons.

Pop on over to our website (🔗 in bio) and grab one of the safest weapons around.
