3500 × 32 × 0.7mm Nickel-Plated Steel Piano Hinge

This rolled straight steel piano hinge, also called a continuous hinge, measures 3500mm long and 32mm wide when fully open. Its 0.7mm-thick steel leaves have a nickel-plated silver finish and a 3.3mm roll width.

A continuous hinge supports the hinged edge along its length. The 32mm open width suits appropriately specified furniture, cabinets, boxes, long lids, screens and access panels.

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.

The nickel plating provides a clean silver appearance, while the underlying construction remains steel. It must not be described as stainless steel.

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.

Why use a continuous hinge?

A continuous hinge supports the hinged edge across its length rather than concentrating movement and fixing at several separate hinge positions. This can help maintain alignment and distribute movement along a long lid, door or panel.

Cutting and installation

1. Confirm that the hinge dimensions and construction suit the application.
2. Support the full 3500mm length before measuring or cutting.
3. Cut with suitable steel-cutting equipment and appropriate protective equipment.
4. Remove sharp edges and swarf, then protect exposed cut steel as appropriate.
5. Align the complete hinge before marking fixing positions.
6. Use compatible 2.5mm-diameter countersunk screws suited to the substrate.
7. Test movement and alignment before final tightening.
