Details: Richelieu 322 Piano Hinge - Width: 32 mm

Piano hinges, also known as continuous hinges, take their name from their original use in piano lids. They are now used in a number of everyday wood and metal utilities such as chests, folding doors, trunks and safes as well as in heavy-duty utilities including shed and barn doors or fire doors. Piano hinges have only 3 three components, which makes them simple to use and install. The load capacity of piano hinges is unfortunately very difficult to calculate. It is dictated by the material used, the thickness of the hinge itself and the pin diameter. These hinges can however be suitable for the most demanding applications if selected with care, and can be a very strong and cost-effective choice of hardware.
