Length: We offer custom-cut piano hinges! This means you choose the exact length of your hinge and we will have it cut to your exact specs, making your job quicker and easier.

Mounting Holes: Adjacent holes (straight) run the length of the hinge and are designed for easy installation. Zig Zag, alternating holes avoid stress on a single plane and area for screw faces.

Friction: Friction-style piano hinges are great if you need the door or lid to stay open or not swing freely. This is why they are being used more frequently on console doors.
