National Mfg N148-205 Continuous Hinge 1-1/16x30 Brass

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N148-205 is a full-length continuous hinge, commonly called a piano hinge, measuring 1-1/16 inches wide by 30 inches long with a bright brass finish. Designed for consistent load distribution along the full length of a door, lid, or panel, this hinge eliminates stress concentrations that occur with standard butt hinges. It ships with mounting screws included. Installers and finish carpenters rely on continuous hinges where durability and smooth, even operation are required across the full swing of the mounted surface.

This continuous hinge is suited for residential and light commercial applications including cabinet doors, utility box lids, access panels, storage bench tops, and similar joinery where a full-length hinge provides superior support over shorter alternatives. The bright brass finish makes it appropriate for decorative installations where the hinge face will remain visible. Each pack contains one hinge.

• 1-1/16-inch width suits standard door and panel edge widths

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose continuous hinge for residential and light commercial door, lid, and panel applications requiring a 30-inch full-length hinge with a 1-1/16-inch leaf width.

Installation Notes

Continuous hinges are typically installed by carpenters, finish trades, or general contractors using a drill-driver and appropriate pilot bits to avoid splitting the substrate. Align and clamp the hinge in position before fastening to ensure consistent leaf placement along the full joint length. Always pre-drill pilot holes when mounting into hardwood or thin-edge material to prevent splitting. Verify that the mounting surface depth is sufficient to accept the included screw length before installation.
