National Mfg N148-171 Continuous Hinge 1.5x30 Nickel

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N148-171 is a continuous hinge designed for full-length door and panel applications where standard butt hinges are not sufficient. Measuring 1.5 inches wide by 30 inches long, this hinge distributes load evenly along the entire length of the door or panel edge, reducing stress concentration and extending service life. The nickel finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior installations. Mounting hardware is included. This type of hinge is commonly installed by finish carpenters, millwork contractors, and cabinet installers working on doors, lids, and access panels.

Continuous hinges of this size are well suited for lightweight cabinet doors, storage compartment lids, and interior access panels in both residential and light commercial settings. The 30-inch length covers standard cabinet and small door heights without field cutting. The included screws allow direct installation without requiring separately sourced fasteners, which simplifies the job on straightforward retrofits and new installations alike.

Installation Notes

Continuous hinges are typically installed by carpenters or finish contractors using a drill-driver and appropriate bit for the included screws. Ensure the door or panel is properly aligned and supported before fastening. Pre-drilling pilot holes in hardwood substrates is recommended to prevent splitting. Verify the mounting surface is flat and plumb before final installation to ensure smooth operation.
