1829 × 32 × 0.9mm Polished 304 Stainless Steel Piano Hinge

This light-duty stainless steel piano hinge, also known as a continuous hinge, measures 1829mm long and 32mm wide when fully open. It is manufactured from 0.9mm-thick Grade 304 stainless steel with a bright-polished finish.

Piano hinges were originally developed to hinge the long keyboard covers and lids fitted to pianos. They are now widely used in cabinet making, furniture, boxes, access panels and other applications requiring continuous support along an extended hinged edge.

The in-line fixing holes are positioned at 60mm centres and countersunk for No.4 woodscrews. A 2.3mm-diameter pin and 15mm knuckle length provide a neat, lightweight hinge profile for suitable furniture and cabinet applications.

Supplied as one complete 1829mm hinge length. It may be cut to a shorter required length using suitable stainless-steel cutting equipment.

Why use a continuous hinge?

A continuous hinge runs along the hinged edge rather than concentrating the fixing at several separate hinge positions. This helps maintain alignment and distribute movement along a long door, lid or panel.

Cutting and installation

1. Measure and mark the required finished length.
2. Use suitable stainless-steel cutting equipment and appropriate protective equipment.
3. Remove sharp edges and metal swarf after cutting.
4. Align the complete hinge before marking the fixing positions.
5. Select No.4 woodscrews of a suitable length and material for the substrate and application.
6. Test the movement and alignment before final tightening.

Fixing screws are not confirmed as included and must not be advertised as supplied.
