Video Transcript for All About the 1-1/2" Wide Continuous Hinge

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this 72 inch long by 1 1/2 inch wide stainless steel piano hinge. Now, this hinge will provide sturdy, continuous support along the length of your cabinet, your door, or your panel. This is great for oversized doors, trailer doors, and entrance doors. And it'll provide more support than multiple small hinges.

It is a nice continuous design, so it reduces stress on the hinge when used with heavier doors. Just want to zoom in and show you the hinge itself. This will rotate 270 degrees for full opening and closing motion. So, you can see this will actually, one side will rotate about 90 degrees back. And if you go all the way forward, it'll go 180 degrees that way.

So, the total of 270 degrees of rotation on the hinge. Now, this hinge is a durable stainless steel construction that will resist corrosion. Does have a 2B mill finish, which gives the metal a nice bright shine. And this is a weld-on or bolt-on installation. Now, if you do bolt it on, it will require drilling holes into the hinge.

And this hinge can be cut to the specific size you need for your application. This part is made in the USA. I do wanna give you the overall length of this, so we're gonna measure it with a tape measure. So, if we go from one end, all the way to the other end, it's right at 72 inches or six feet in length. The open width, which is the position it's in right now, the widest part, so that's gonna be right at 1 1/2 inches for the open width.

The knuckle length, each one of these little sections here is called a knuckle, so the length on just one of those is right at a half an inch. And the pin diameter, in other words, the large pin that goes through those knuckles that hold these two pieces together, the diameter on that pin is 1/8 of an inch. But that should do it for the review on this 72 inch long by 1 1/2 inch wide stainless steel piano hinge..
