Larsen and Shaw Bright Nickel 1-1/2"x48" Steel Piano Hinge - 1119EY9NP

Larsen And Shaw Piano Hinge For Long Runs

Larsen and Shaw piano hinge in bright nickel turns a continuous .060 gauge steel hinge into a clean, consistent pivot for long doors, lids, and panels. This 1-1/2 x 48 piano hinge uses a lifetime finish that holds its appearance over years of typical woodworking use, so installed runs keep a uniform Look along the full opening. The 1-1/2 inch opened width gives a practical balance between strength and footprint on the edge of doors or lids, which helps when layout space is limited but full-length support is required. At 48 inches long, the hinge suits many cabinet, chest, and panel applications that need support across the entire edge, helping distribute load more evenly than spaced butt hinges. Steel construction gives a solid base under the bright nickel finish, so hinge knuckles and leaves stay consistent under normal service.

Bright Nickel Piano Hinge Details That Matter

• The .060 gauge steel construction provides a solid, uniform hinge leaf, which supports straight alignment along doors or lids where continuous load support is needed during daily use.
• The bright nickel lifetime finish delivers a stable surface over the steel, which helps maintain a consistent appearance on exposed hinge runs in cabinetry or woodworking projects.
• The 1-1/2 inch opened hinge width sets a defined footprint on the mounting surface, which helps installers plan clearances along door edges and frames during layout.
• The 48 inch length provides extended coverage along an edge, which helps distribute forces across multiple screw locations and supports smooth movement across the full opening.
• The Larsen and Shaw brand and 1119EY9NP part number give a precise reference, which supports repeat ordering when multiple matching piano hinges are required on a job.

Screw Spacing And Fit For Installation Runs

All cut lengths of Larsen and Shaw piano hinges use countersunk screw holes spaced 2 inches on center, which creates a predictable pattern for drilling and mounting along cabinet or panel edges. The hinge uses #5 flathead screws, which match the countersink profile so screw heads sit flush to the leaf for a smoother fit against the mating surface. On 3 inch wide hinges from this line, #6 flathead screws are used, clarifying the distinction in screw sizing across the range when planning projects with different widths. Over a 6 foot length of hinge, 100 screws are required, which indicates a dense fastening pattern that spreads load along the full run for continuous support. Hinge widths in this series range from 1-1/16, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2, and 3 inches opened, giving installers dimensional options while keeping the same basic hole spacing approach.

Using This 1-1/2 x 48 Piano Hinge On Projects

Where This 1-1/2 x 48 Piano Hinge Fits

This 1-1/2 x 48 piano hinge fits applications that call for a medium-width continuous hinge, such as longer cabinet doors, bench lids, or access panels needing support along the entire edge. The 48 inch length suits many standard casework spans, reducing cutting time when the opening closely matches that dimension. With hinge widths in the Larsen and Shaw line ranging from 1-1/16 to 3 inches, this 1-1/2 inch option sits in the middle of the range, giving a practical balance between visibility and bearing surface on the workpiece. The bright nickel finish supports use on projects where the hinge is visible and a lighter metallic tone is preferred, tying multiple hinges together visually when several openings share the same hardware line. Steel construction under the finish supports steady movement at the knuckles across typical cabinet or furniture use.

Why These Piano Hinge Details Reduce Rework

The 2 inch on-center countersunk hole pattern lets installers set up a repeatable drilling sequence along door and frame edges, which helps keep alignment consistent from hinge to hinge on multi-opening runs. Using #5 flathead screws on this 1-1/2 inch wide hinge means the screw heads seat cleanly into the countersinks, which reduces high spots that could interfere with closing against adjacent components. The defined .060 gauge steel leaf thickness gives a known build dimension at the hinge line, helping fabricators account for the hinge in reveals and clearances without guesswork. Having a bright nickel lifetime finish across the hinge length reduces the need for refinishing or touch-ups in typical environments, which supports long-term visual consistency on repeat installations. The Larsen and Shaw 1119EY9NP designation provides a stable specification for drawings and ordering, so future replacements or additions match existing hardware.
