Piano hinges, also known as continuous hinges, are long, narrow hinges that run the full length of a door or lid. They are essential for providing secure, smooth, and stable attachment points, especially on trailer doors, lids, and compartments.

 

• Safe and Secure Attachment: They distribute the weight of the door evenly across the full length, ensuring strong, reliable support.

 

• Smooth Operation: Designed for easy opening and closing, they allow for smooth operation over time.

Both zinc and stainless steel piano hinges offer unique benefits, depending on your trailer’s requirements and environmental exposure.

 

• Zinc Hinges: These are corrosion-resistant, offering excellent protection against rust and wear. They are ideal for general trailer use where durability is important but extreme weather resistance isn’t critical.

 

• Stainless Steel Hinges: Known for their high resistance to corrosion, these hinges are perfect for trailers exposed to harsher environments, such as coastal areas with saltwater exposure. They offer greater longevity and are more durable under extreme conditions.

Installing piano hinges is a straightforward process that doesn’t require complex tools or expertise.

 

• Bolt-On Installation: Most piano hinges are designed for easy bolt-on installation, making them quick to attach and secure.

 

• Durability and Stability: Once installed, these hinges offer a sturdy and long-lasting solution that can withstand daily use and environmental challenges.
