Guden PS04040202-72 Piano Hinge 0.75in Wide 72in Steel

Product Description

The GUDEN PS04040202-72 is a full-length steel piano hinge designed for continuous support across the entire span of a door, panel, lid, or enclosure. At 72 inches long and 0.75 inches wide overall, it distributes load evenly along the joint, reducing stress concentrations that shorter hinges create. The leaf thickness is 0.035 inches and each leaf measures 0.375 inches wide. The steel pin diameter is 0.086 inches and knuckle length is 0.25 inches. This hinge weighs 0.794 pounds and meets RoHS standards. It is typically installed by millworkers, cabinetmakers, HVAC panel fabricators, and maintenance technicians working on access doors and equipment enclosures.

Piano hinges of this profile are well-suited for lightweight to medium-duty residential and commercial applications including cabinetry, electrical enclosure doors, air handler access panels, tool chest lids, and interior folding panels. The 72-inch length allows the hinge to be cut to a shorter dimension on-site using a hacksaw or tin snips, making it adaptable across multiple job types without requiring a separate SKU for each panel height.

Key Features

• Full 72-inch continuous length distributes load evenly across the entire joint
• Steel construction on both leaf and pin for durability in panel and enclosure applications
• 0.035-inch leaf thickness suits lightweight sheet metal and wood panel assemblies
• 0.25-inch knuckle length with 0.086-inch pin diameter for smooth pivot action
• RoHS compliant materials
• Can be field-cut to required length without special tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style continuous hinge for use on lightweight doors, access panels, lids, and enclosures requiring full-length support along the hinge line.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millworkers, sheet metal fabricators, or general maintenance technicians. Before mounting, ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and fastener holes are properly laid out for even spacing. Use appropriate fastener size for the base material thickness - do not overdrive fasteners into thin sheet metal panels. If cutting the hinge to length, deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and binding at the knuckle.
