Piano hinge?

[FishinMaverick]

does anybody know where i can find this type of hinge, or what it is called so i can find it for myself. I know its a bad representation but i can't take a pic of the one i have right now. The diagram is drawn as if you are looking at it from the end. The pin is in the middle at the top. (basically it looks like an inverted T. It's used to butt to pieces of wood together, one stationary and the other can open, with the pin obove the two pieces of wood. Any help would be aprreciated.

You can get piano hinge at most decent hardware stores. It is a continuous hinge used for heavy door/high use applications, like hatches in boats. You cut it to length, it comes in bulk lengths.

Yep, menards, home depot, ace, they all have them. Just a long hinge.

I just bought 4 of them from Menards in Mankato yesterday.

If you are using it in the boat it is worth the extra money to get a stainless steel hinge if possible.

Fleet Farm has them as well, along with many other building items. That and fishing gear. I guess that's why it's called the "mans mall".

Yea, mnfishinguy, I always forget Fleet for hardware stuff. They have great stuff and great prices too. I can't get in there without dropping at least fiddy on the day. That's minimal..

It's my all time favorite store. I can get musky lures, cheese balls and oil for the outboard. How can life get any better! You can get out of there for a fifty? Man, you really have alot better self control than I do!

Heck yea, you can even get some undies, boots, shocks, new griddle, patio furniture, you name it you can buy it. On the fifty, did I tell you I go there like twice a week most times?

Thanks for the replies so far, but the hinge i have and need one more of, isn't a regular piano hinge( i have tried every store mentioned and they don't have this type) the hinge i need is a continous hinge like a piano hinge. but this hinge has a 90 degree lip on both sides. so it lookes like an upside down T when it is in the closed position. LOOKS like this ____I____ where the flat part is about 1" and the part between the pin and the flat part is about .75" I hope this helps

Why not just take the old hinge into a Home Depot or Menards? They will probably be able to at least check their books and order the one that you need.

I had a hardware catalog for cabinets cant find it. Google cabinet hardware,Cab.Hdw suppliers,theres a number with what you want.I doubt you'll find any custom Hdwr supplies in local places.

If it's what I think you are talking about - to use on doors of the boat deck - I had to order mine from Crystal Pierz. Only place I could find it.

Make sure you measure the setdown distance. They come in a variety of reliefs. Learned that the hard way.
