1834 × 25mm Light-Duty Aluminium Continuous Piano Hinge

This light-duty aluminium continuous hinge, also known as a piano hinge, measures 1834mm long and 25mm wide when fully open. Its natural self-colour aluminium construction provides a lightweight solution for suitable cabinets, furniture, boxes, lids and access panels.

The hinge incorporates a stainless-steel pin and has 62 factory-produced fixing holes distributed along its length. Suitable 2.5mm-diameter countersunk screws are required and must be ordered separately.

A continuous hinge supports the hinged edge along its length instead of concentrating movement at several separate hinge positions. This can assist alignment and distribute movement across a long door, lid or panel.

The natural aluminium finish has a functional silver appearance without a decorative plated coating. Regular lubrication is required to maintain smooth movement.

Supplied as one complete 1834mm hinge. It may be cut to a suitable shorter length using appropriate aluminium-cutting equipment.

Why choose an aluminium continuous hinge?

Aluminium provides a lightweight alternative to steel or stainless-steel hinges. Its continuous format supports a long hinged edge, while the stainless-steel pin provides a durable pivot between the aluminium leaves.

Cutting, installation and maintenance

1. Confirm that the dimensions and light-duty construction suit the application.
2. Measure and mark any required cut carefully.
3. Use suitable aluminium-cutting equipment and protective equipment.
4. Remove sharp edges and metal swarf after cutting.
5. Align the complete hinge before marking the fixing positions.
6. Use suitable 2.5mm-diameter countersunk screws for the substrate.
7. Fit the screws evenly without distorting the aluminium leaves.
8. Test alignment and movement before final tightening.
9. Lubricate the hinge regularly using a suitable product.

Fixing screws are not included and must be ordered separately.
