National Mfg N265-363 Continuous Hinge 1.5x12 Bright Brass

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N265-363 is a bright brass continuous hinge measuring 1.5 inches wide by 12 inches long, designed for full-length support along cabinet doors, piano lids, access panels, and similar applications. Screw holes are spaced at 2-inch intervals along the full length of the leaf, providing consistent fastening points for secure, even mounting. The hinge ships with screws included and is packaged one per pack. It is installed by carpenters, cabinet makers, millwork contractors, and general contractors working on both residential and light commercial projects.

This continuous hinge is suited for interior applications where a full-length pivot point is required to distribute load evenly across the hinge line. Typical use cases include cabinet doors, instrument cases, storage box lids, and utility access panels. The bright brass finish makes it appropriate for decorative or visible installations where a polished metal appearance is specified. Each pack contains one hinge with mounting screws, making it straightforward to order by the quantity needed for a given job.

Installation Notes

This hinge is typically installed by carpenters or cabinet makers using a drill or screwdriver and standard countersink bits. Verify the mounting surface material and thickness before selecting screw length from the included hardware. Align the hinge barrel consistently with the door edge before driving any screws to prevent binding. Follow applicable local building or joinery standards for load-bearing applications.
