Guden PS04040208-72 Piano Hinge 2in X 72in Steel

Product Description

The GUDEN PS04040208-72 is a full-length steel piano hinge designed for continuous support along the entire length of a door, lid, or panel. Measuring 2 inches wide and 72 inches long with a thickness of 0.035 inches, this hinge distributes load evenly across the hinge line rather than concentrating stress at two or three pivot points. Each leaf is 1 inch wide, and the pin diameter measures 0.086 inches. The knuckle length is 0.25 inches. This hinge is suited for cabinetry, access panels, storage lids, and light-duty enclosures where continuous support is required. It is typically installed by carpenters, millworkers, and general contractors, and is also used in HVAC and electrical enclosure applications.

The PS04040208-72 fits residential and light commercial applications where a 72-inch continuous hinge is needed. Common uses include cabinet doors, tool chest lids, utility panel covers, and equipment access doors. The 2-inch overall width and uniform steel construction make it a practical fit for wood, steel, or composite panel assemblies. No specific model compatibility is listed by the manufacturer for this part; fitment depends on the mounting surface dimensions and the clearance available for the hinge leaf width.

Key Features

• Full 72-inch continuous length for even load distribution across the entire hinge line
• Steel construction on both hinge body and pin for durability in light commercial and industrial enclosures
• Slim 0.035-inch thickness minimizes gap between mating surfaces when closed
• 1-inch door leaf and 1-inch frame leaf width allow mounting on narrow stiles and rails
• RoHS compliant materials
• 0.086-inch pin diameter with 0.25-inch knuckle length for smooth, consistent pivot action

Compatibility

Designed as a standard continuous piano hinge for wood, metal, and composite panel assemblies requiring a 72-inch hinge with 1-inch individual leaf widths and a 2-inch overall width. No specific OEM model compatibility is stated in the manufacturer data.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, sheet metal workers, or general maintenance technicians using standard drill and screwdriver tooling. Cut the hinge to a shorter length with a hacksaw or metal shear if the full 72 inches is not required, and deburr cut ends before mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and that fastener holes are properly aligned before driving screws to avoid binding at the knuckle. No special certifications or codes are required for standard hinge installation, though enclosure applications may be subject to NEC or other trade-specific requirements.
