918223-7 180° Continuous Hinge With Holes, Stainless Steel, Door Leaf: 36" X 5/8" W | Imperial Supplies

This finished hinge is suited for applications such as cabinetry and piano lids where a polished hinge (as opposed to a flat finished or unfinished hinge) is a priority. The range of motion for this hinge is 270 degrees from the folded position. Continuous hinges, also called piano hinges, provide support to run the full length of the doors, panels, or pieces being joined together. The knuckle is the tubular part of the hinge through which the pin passes, and knuckle length is the measurement of an individual section. The pin runs the length of the hinge holding the leaves together. The leaf is the flat metal portion of the hinge that extends laterally from the knuckle and revolves around the pin. Open width is the dimension from the outer edge of one leaf to the outer edge of the other when the hinge is fully open. Surface-mounted for applications requiring continuous support along the full length of the hinge, such as appliance doors, industrial kitchen equipment, and metal storage cabinets Stainless steel 304 is corrosion resistant up to 1,500 degrees F (though less resistant to corrosion than stainless steel 316), weldable, and stronger than steel and aluminum Countersunk holes for convenience when mounting Bright annealed finish for additional protection against corrosion and a polished, mirrorlike appearance
