Hillman Builders Hardware 852641 Continuous Hinge Brass

Product Description

The HILLMAN BUILDERS HARDWARE 852641 is a full-length continuous hinge, also called a piano hinge, finished in brass. It runs the full length of a door, panel, or access cover rather than using individual butt hinges at fixed points. This design distributes load evenly across the entire hinge line, reducing stress on the mounting surface. At 72 inches long and 1.5 inches wide when open, it suits a wide range of cabinetry, door, and enclosure applications. Installation is handled by carpenters, millworkers, or general contractors using standard hand tools.

Continuous hinges in this size range are commonly used on full-height cabinet doors, piano lids, storage bench lids, electrical enclosure panels, and lightweight access doors. The brass finish offers a traditional appearance and moderate corrosion resistance, making it suitable for interior applications and low-moisture environments. The 72-inch length can be cut to a shorter dimension in the field using a hacksaw or metal snips when the application calls for a custom length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or general contractors. Secure the hinge leaf to both the door and the frame using fasteners appropriate for the substrate material. If cutting to length, file or deburr cut ends before installation to prevent sharp edges and ensure proper pin alignment. Confirm door weight and material thickness are within the capacity of the hinge before mounting.
