The Continuous Hinge or Piano Hinge as it can be known comes in 6ft (1.8m) lengths which can be cut into useable sections with a hacksaw.

Variations of the Continuous Hinge come in aluminium, plastic, chrome plated steel and brass. Alignment of the hinge on a door is relatively easy as it should run from top to bottom.

How is the Continuous Hinge Fitted?

Very simply the widely available types of this hinge are screwed direct to the solid wood edges of doors and frames.
