The stainless steel 304 continuous hinge has countersunk holes and is suitable for surface-mounted applications requiring uninterrupted support along the full length of the pieces being joined, such as appliance doors, industrial kitchen equipment, and metal storage cabinets. Stainless steel 304 resists corrosion up to 1,500 degrees F and is suitable for applications used in corrosive environments, though not as resistant to corrosion as stainless steel 316. A weldable material, stainless steel 304 is stronger than steel and aluminum. The bright annealed finish gives this hinge a mirrorlike appearance and offers additional protection against corrosion. This finished hinge is suited for applications such as cabinetry and piano lids where a polished hinge (as opposed to a flat finished or unfinished hinge) is a priority. The range of motion for this hinge is 270 degrees from the folded position.
Continuous hinges, also called piano hinges, provide support to run the full length of the doors, panels, or pieces being joined together. They are manufactured in a variety of materials and sizes, with or without holes, finished or unfinished, and can be cut to specific sizes. They also vary by knuckle length, pin diameter, leaf thickness, and open width. The knuckle is the tubular part of the hinge through which the pin passes, and knuckle length is the measurement of an individual section. The pin runs the length of the hinge holding the leaves together. The leaf is the flat metal portion of the hinge that extends laterally from the knuckle and revolves around the pin. Open width is the dimension from the outer edge of one leaf to the outer edge of the other when the hinge is fully open.

Nicely constructed stainless hinge. I ended up cutting it to fit my application. Instead of cutting one end, I needed the screw holes closer to the edge and had to cut both ends. I just cut between the hinge knuckles using a cutoff wheel and didn't have a problem. Normally you'd want to cut the knuckle where it's marked by a dot or punch pinch. This hinge has those marks but were not in the spots I needed. I cut it where needed and it still works fine, the pin is still mounted firmly and I had no problems whatsoever. I used #6 sized screws but #8 would work too.

My review hinges upon whether or not i get around to using this. Seems nice. Of course, so did my neighbors when I first moved in. But, NOW? Seriously, they are hoodlums! Now I know why it is called a neighborHOOD. Can't trust them as far as you can see them through binoculars. (Which, in case you are interested, may be purchased from Amazon.com.) And their yappy little dogs! UGH. Why can't they just bring them in instead of leaving them out at all hours of the night???So, I am reserving my final judgment pending long term knowledge of this hinge.

These Stainless Steel 304 Continuous Hinges were exactly what I needed. They are easy to cut down to the desired length with a hacksaw, and the hinge pin is captive so it will not fall out after the length is cut down. They are also quite strong, with holes for #6 fasteners spaced every 2" apart. I used them to create a large coffee table with a top that folds out to create a kind of lap desk on either side and a recessed, felt-covered space in the middle for playing tabletop rpg games (Dungeons & Dragons, etc.). These were perfect in that application, and sufficiently strong that my almost-2-year-old daughter can stand on one of the folding sides (which are 3 ft. long x 15 in. deep) without a problem.

The countersink is a bit shallow. Using a #6 screw the head still pokes above the hinge by 1mm. Not sure whether smaller screws would work. But the benefit of the shallow countersink is that the holes are all countersunk on both sides.The steel feels tough like it will hold up to a lot of wear. The hinge is smooth.A couple other things to note. The hinge arrived in a very beat up box, with no packaging inside, though luckily for me the hinge hadn't bent. Others might not be as lucky. I'd suggest to the maker to at least put some styrofoam end caps to keep it from shooting out of the box. Once I took the hinge out of the box I noticed cheap masking tape wrapped around the middle to keep the hinge shut during shipping, but it leaves a sticky residue when you take it off. Better have some adhesive remover handy.If none of the above bothers you, it seems like sturdy metal and a strong hinge.

very useful and easy to install...it's secure through the full length if that is how you want to use it. too long? not a problem because it's designed so that it can be cut to fit! pricey but worth it!

We bought a condo that had a window seat that we wanted to convert to a secure storage space. Since the original hinges were surface mounted, we figured a piano hinge would improve security as the screws would be inaccessible when closed. The project of installing it was straightforward and the hinge is performing quite well. As a bonus, the lid is quite a bit more sturdy now since the hinge supports it at almost its full length. I’d do it again if I had to.

Bought these to attach the two long wooden flaps that cover the mesh screened bottom and the PVC observation window on the the top bar and horizontal long bee hives we're building for our place. They were quite easily cut with a metal saw to the length we needed. Not very thick but that doesn't matter in our case and hopefully they'll last the test of time..

Installed this hinge on an exterior storage bench, and so far it is holding up great. Paired it with stainless steel screws for a rust free installation.This hinge cut very easily and the spacing on the holes made for a secure installation. The hinge has not racked or bound up and is a smooth operation.
