3500 × 20 × 0.7mm Brass-Plated Steel Piano Hinge

This rolled straight steel piano hinge, also called a continuous hinge, measures 3500mm long and 20mm wide when fully open. Its 0.7mm-thick steel leaves have a traditional brass-plated finish.

The narrow 20mm open width suits appropriately specified furniture, boxes, slim lids and access panels where continuous support is required without a broad hinge leaf. The brass-coloured finish provides a decorative appearance while the underlying construction remains steel.

The factory-produced holes are countersunk for 2.5mm-diameter screws. Fixings must be ordered separately and selected to suit the substrate and intended application.

Supplied as one complete 3500mm hinge length. It may be cut to a shorter required length using suitable steel-cutting equipment. Deburr and suitably protect exposed cut steel after shortening.
