National Mfg N265-355 Continuous Hinge 1-1/6x12 Bright Brass

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N265-355 is a bright brass continuous hinge measuring 1-1/6 inches wide by 12 inches long. Continuous hinges, also called piano hinges, distribute load evenly along the full length of a door, lid, or panel rather than at isolated points. This unit ships with mounting screws included and comes one per pack in carded retail packaging. Screw holes are spaced at 2-inch intervals along the full length of both leaves, providing consistent fastening points for secure, aligned installation. The bright brass finish suits interior applications where a polished metal appearance is required.

This continuous hinge is appropriate for lightweight interior doors, cabinet lids, storage box covers, instrument cases, and similar applications where full-length hinge support is needed. It is sized for residential and light commercial use. The 12-inch length and standard hole spacing make it a practical choice for cabinetmakers, finish carpenters, and general contractors working on millwork, furniture, or enclosure projects.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Continuous hinges are typically installed by carpenters or general contractors using a drill, countersink bit, and screwdriver. Align both leaves flush with the mating surfaces before fastening to ensure smooth operation. Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting on wood substrates. Confirm the mounting surface material is compatible with the included screws before installation.
