Guden PS08070709-72 Piano Hinge 2.5in X 72in Steel

Product Description

The GUDEN PS08070709-72 is a full-length steel piano hinge measuring 2.5 inches wide by 72 inches long with a material thickness of 0.075 inches. Designed for continuous along-the-edge hinging, this type of hinge distributes load evenly across the entire joint length rather than concentrating stress at discrete pivot points. Each leaf measures 1.25 inches wide and 72 inches in height. The pin diameter is 0.187 inches and the knuckle length runs 1 inch. This hinge is fabricated from steel and meets RoHS compliance standards. It is well suited for cabinetmakers, millwork installers, and industrial fabricators working on enclosures, panels, lids, and doors that require long-span, high-cycle hinging support.

Piano hinges of this length are commonly used in residential and light commercial applications including tool chest lids, electrical and electronic enclosures, instrument cases, storage cabinet doors, and access panels. The 72-inch length allows the hinge to be cut to fit or installed full-length depending on the application. The steel construction provides durability for moderate-duty installations where a continuous pivot line is required. This hinge is appropriate for both original equipment manufacturing and field replacement or repair work.

Key Features

• Full 72-inch continuous length distributes hinge load along the entire joint
• Steel construction for durability in moderate-duty enclosure and cabinet applications
• 0.075-inch material thickness suitable for standard sheet metal and wood panel mounting
• Symmetric 1.25-inch door and frame leaf widths for balanced installation
• 0.187-inch pin diameter with 1-inch knuckle for smooth, consistent pivot action
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard continuous hinge for use with steel, wood, or composite panel assemblies requiring a full-length pivot along a 72-inch edge.

Installation Notes

Piano hinges of this type are typically installed by machinists, fabricators, or finish carpenters using standard drilling and fastening tools. Power down or de-energize any enclosure before mounting hardware to live electrical panels or access doors. The hinge may be cut to a shorter length using a metal-cutting saw or shear if a full 72-inch run is not required; deburr cut ends before installation. Align the hinge centered on the joint and fasten through pre-drilled holes to ensure even load distribution along the full leaf height.
