National Mfg N148-353 Continuous Hinge 1-1/16x48 Brass

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N148-353 is a full-length continuous hinge, also known as a piano hinge, measuring 1-1/16 inches wide by 48 inches long with a brass finish. Continuous hinges distribute load evenly along the entire length of a door, lid, or panel, making them a reliable choice where a standard butt hinge would concentrate stress at discrete points. The brass finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior applications. Each pack includes the hinge and mounting screws, supplying everything needed for a direct installation. This hinge is installed by finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, and general contractors on a wide range of residential and light commercial applications.

This continuous hinge is suited for cabinet doors, access panels, storage box lids, instrument cases, and similar applications requiring full-length hinge support. The 48-inch length accommodates standard door and panel heights commonly found in residential cabinetry and light commercial millwork. The brass finish is appropriate for interior decorative and utility installations where a traditional metal appearance is acceptable. Mounting screws are included, reducing the need for separately sourced fasteners during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, or general contractors using a drill, countersink bit, and screwdriver. Align the hinge leaf flush with the panel edge before fastening to ensure smooth operation and even gap spacing. For wood substrates, pilot holes are recommended to prevent splitting, especially near panel ends. Always confirm the mounting surface material is compatible with the included screws before installation.
