Larsen and Shaw steel piano hinge gives you a continuous, .060 gauge steel pivot along the length of a door or panel, which helps distribute load and reduce stress on any single point of the installation. The hinge length of 72 inches supports long doors or lids, allowing consistent alignment from end to end on cabinets, chests, or built-ins. The bright brass finish provides a brass-colored appearance, which helps match brass-toned projects and gives a uniform look along the full hinge length. As a piano hinge in the 3 inch width class, it offers a wide bearing surface, which supports doors that need extra stability at the knuckle line. Built as a piano hinge, it is suitable where you want a straight, guided swing over the full height or width of the workpiece rather than relying on separate butt hinges.
The countersunk screw holes spaced 2 inches apart on center give you a predictable pattern along the hinge, which speeds drilling and fastening during installation and helps keep the leaf flat against the mounting surface. The requirement of 100 screws per 6 foot length shows the fastener density this pattern delivers, which helps resist door sag over time by tying the hinge closely to the substrate. All hinges in the line use #5 flathead screws for fastening, which suits standard small hinge screw pilot holes in many cabinet builds. The 3 inch wide hinges in this series use #6 flathead screws instead, providing a larger fastener that matches the wider leaf and supports stronger pull-out resistance in thicker frame material.
This 3 inch x 72 inch piano hinge from Larsen and Shaw works well anywhere a long, continuous hinge line is preferred, because the 72 inch length can cover most full-height cabinet doors or long bench and chest lids. The piano hinge design supplies a single knuckle line, which keeps the swing axis straight along the entire edge of the workpiece and supports smooth operation for doors that see frequent opening and closing. The steel construction at .060 gauge provides a strong leaf for wood-based installations, which helps when the hinge must carry the weight of doors backed by solid or engineered panels. The bright brass finish coordinates with other bright brass hardware, which matters when you want the hinge to be visible yet consistent with pulls, knobs, or other brass-colored fittings.
The 2 inch on-center spacing of the countersunk screw holes gives you a repeating layout along the leaf, which simplifies marking and drilling because each fastener lands at a regular interval. This close spacing, together with the guideline of 100 screws required per 6 foot length, produces a high screw count on a typical run, which helps clamp the hinge firmly to the door and frame and keeps the leaf from lifting under load. Using #5 flathead screws across most hinge sizes standardizes the driver and pilot bit choice on the majority of installations in this series, which helps streamline repetitive shop work. On the 3 inch wide hinges, the switch to #6 flathead screws aligns the fastener size with the wider leaf, which supports stronger attachment where the hinge may be carrying heavier or taller doors in cabinet or casework builds.
The Larsen and Shaw 1116J08FB piano hinge is specified as 3 inches by 72 inches, so it spans six feet of door or lid edge for continuous support.
The hinge is made from .060 gauge steel, which provides a relatively thick leaf that supports frequent operation on cabinet doors and similar applications.
The piano hinge has countersunk screw holes spaced 2 inches apart on center, giving a regular fastening pattern that helps with quick layout and alignment.
The hinge series is specified to use 100 screws per 6 foot length, providing dense fastening that helps resist sagging and leaf movement over time.
All hinges in this line use #5 flathead screws, except the 3 inch wide hinges which use #6 flathead screws, aligning fastener size with hinge width.
This Larsen and Shaw piano hinge has a bright brass finish, which provides a brass-colored appearance that coordinates with bright brass cabinet hardware.
The Larsen and Shaw steel piano hinge in bright brass gives you a 3 inch by 72 inch continuous hinge line with .060 gauge steel, which supports taller doors and lids needing full-length support. With countersunk holes every 2 inches on center and a fastener guideline of 100 screws per 6 foot run, the hinge is designed for dense attachment that helps keep doors aligned under regular use. Selecting this hinge aligns your project with the specified bright brass finish and screw sizing for this Larsen and Shaw series.
