National Mfg N148-304 Continuous Hinge 1.5x48 Bright Brass

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N148-304 is a continuous hinge designed for full-length door, panel, and cabinet applications requiring consistent load distribution along the entire hinge line. Measuring 1.5 inches wide by 48 inches in length, this piano-style hinge ships with mounting screws included and features a bright brass finish. At 4 pounds, the unit is suited for applications where a heavier-duty, surface-mounted continuous hinge is required. It is installed by carpenters, millwork contractors, and general tradespeople working on doors, lids, and access panels in both residential and light commercial settings.

This continuous hinge is commonly used on cabinet doors, storage lid assemblies, utility enclosures, and access hatches where a standard butt hinge would provide insufficient support across the door or panel span. The 48-inch length makes it appropriate for full-height interior doors and tall cabinet or panel applications. The bright brass finish suits interior installations where a polished metallic appearance is specified. Each package contains one hinge with screws included, sold individually.

Key Features

• Full 48-inch length for even load distribution across the entire hinge line
• 1.5-inch leaf width suitable for lightweight to medium-duty panel and door applications
• Bright brass finish for interior decorative or utility applications
• Mounting screws included — no separate hardware purchase required
• Sold as 1 hinge per pack for straightforward single-unit procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation continuous hinge for residential and light commercial door, cabinet, and access panel assemblies requiring a 48-inch piano hinge.

Installation Notes

Continuous hinges are typically installed by carpenters or millwork tradespeople using standard hand tools and a drill-driver. Align the hinge leaf flush with the door or panel edge before marking and pre-drilling pilot holes to prevent wood splitting. Ensure the door or panel is fully supported and the opening is plumb and square before fastening. Always verify that the substrate material is compatible with the included screws before installation.
