Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this eight foot long, five inch wide continuous steel hinge. Now, this hinge will provide nice sturdy, continuous support for your agricultural or construction application. It is a continuous piano hinge design. I wanna zoom in and show you what we're talking about. If you noticed here, this offer more support than smaller individual hinges, and it reduces the stress on heavier doors.
The design of it, inside these knuckles right here, they have a 3/8 inch diameter pin that runs the full length of the hinge, so it gives it full support. And it'll offer 270 degree rotation for full opening and closing motion. Now, this is a weld-on or bolt-on installation. Now, a bolt-on installation, if you noticed, there are no holes, so you would have to drill holes into the hinge to bolt it on. It is a 16-gauge steel construction, which is very durable and long lasting.
The part is made in the USA. Dimensions, again, we said the overall length, end to end, is eight feet. The width when it's out or it's opened all the way, 180 degrees, the width will measure five inches. And each side of the foldable hinge you can see will measure about 2 3/16 inches wide. The individual knuckle length, in other words, each one of these is called a knuckle.
So you can see, if I put a ruler on it, it's about two inches. And we mentioned the pin diameter on the inside of the knuckles is 3/8 of an inch diameter. But that should do it for the review on this eight foot long by five inch wide continuous steel hinge.

Ratings & Reviews
I needed an additional fold-over ramp for my enclosed trailer's ramp. This piano-style hinge filled the bill perfectly. Used it quite a bit, and it's made loading and unloading the trailer much easier. Great price. Durable. Easy to cut to size.
I use the hinge for a ramp extension allowing to wheel thing into the trailer.
The hinge is strong and does the job well.
Keep in mind that this is NOT a stainless steel component and will incur some corrosion if not treated.
Good product.
For use in -doors or sprayed with cold galvanized paint this is a good product.
Hinge arrived in excellent condition this morning - 30 minutes later it was welded in place! The hinge was straight & heavy enough for our purposes. I promised our client we wouldn't disclose this project until they advertised it; so, I'll post photos next month. Thank you ETRAILER.com!
Sorry I cut up my hinge. How's that for an old man with dumb ideas? Very happy will know more later. Also including more pictures before the new hinge.
I am very pleased with the products i purchased from etrailer. Very fast shipping and spot on descriptions of all the items purchased. If only all online products could be described as detailed. Any questions i had where answered either by phone or email. Thank you you so much for the great products. One stop shopping made it easy to build my off road camper. A few things purchased where the timberen hd 3500 lb axles 4 in lift with 10" breaks, marker lights,tail lights,and some interior lights as well as the trailer wiring and all the connection that go with it. . And the red arc off road trailer break kit. Thanks again.
I needed to replace the hinge on the ramp door extension on my cargo trailer. This hinge is wider and heavier duty than the hinge I replaced. The hinge is steel the old one was thin aluminum so it should hold up better and better than anything on Am….n.
Would’ve given this 5 stars if it was pre drilled. Shipping was massive and not packed that well. I ever said this cuts easily was wrong. I had to cut mine to fit my 6x12 with my angle grinder, and it was not as easy as I read about.
great product
Used them for some tool boxes I built into a flatbed I built for my truck. Make sure you paint them well, they don't have much of a coating.
used two of these to make lid for my trailer work very well and function well in all kinds of weather
Heavy duty and well made. Just what I was looking for.
It worked out perfect. It was more heavy duty than I thought which made it even better.

It all worked as I had intended, although I suppose it would have helped to have pre-drilled countersunk screw holes on the flanges. . .but I guess welding these in place is common.
My old hinge was seriously rusted, but of course the factory welds still held. So after cutting and grinding, I got the door free, drilled some screw (and bolts on one side) holes.
Aligning is always a problem when the hinge flange is hidden when closed. I experimented with blocking the door into the correct position, guessed a little on some screw locations and finally settled on what might work.
Although I have bolt heads visible on the outside, the door works. That's what counts. It is after all a horse trailer! . .
Quality product

Awesome product and timely delivery!
Replacing a rusted up hinge on our dump truck. It's what we needed but wish it was stainless so we didn't have to paint it
this is a heavy duty hinge, just what I wanted.
This hinge was just what I was looking for to replace the OEM hinge on my toy hauler ramp door. The only non performance part was the freight being slower than normal because of Covid 19. The freight companies did not do any damage to the hinge so all is good. etrailer is a great on-line parts supplier.
