Just be sure the hinges are installed well and that they are lined up to prevent binding.
You want the control surfaces to move... but not to fall off.

Those hinges should work just fine. The only suggestion I would give is to pin them. What I mean is after the hinges are glued in. You drill a hole in each half through the moveable surface and the mount. Then glue a hardwood dowel, toothpick or whatever you can find. This is just a safty thing, just in case. Good luck.
