Larsen and Shaw piano hinge provides a continuous 3 inch x 72 inch bright nickel steel hinge for supporting long doors or lids over the full length of the joint. The .060 gauge steel construction creates a stout, uniform pivot line that spreads load across the entire 72 inch run, which helps reduce point stress at individual hinge locations. The bright nickel finish on this piano hinge offers a clean, metallic look that matches other bright hardware in the installation, useful on visible cabinet faces or lids. This hinge is classified as a piano hinge in the Hinges category, so it suits applications where a full-length hinge is preferred over individual butt hinges. The Larsen and Shaw branding signals a consistent product line, which simplifies matching similar hinges in different widths or finishes on the same project.
All cut lengths of this Larsen and Shaw piano hinge have countersunk screw holes spaced 2 inches on center, so the fastener pattern stays consistent along the 72 inch length and aids predictable layout across the edge of a door or frame. The manufacturer specifies that all hinges use #5 flathead screws, with the exception of 3 inch wide hinges that use #6 flathead screws, and this hinge is identified as 3 inch, so the information points to #6 flathead screws as the intended fastener type. The countersunk hole design pairs with those flathead screws to bring the screw heads flush to the hinge surface, which supports smooth movement and a clean, finished appearance once mounted along the workpiece edge.
This 3 inch x 72 inch Larsen and Shaw piano hinge fits work where a full-length, continuous hinge line is preferred, such as tall cabinet doors or long lids that benefit from support along the entire edge. The .060 gauge steel material keeps the hinge leaves substantial over the full 72 inch run, which helps maintain alignment where multiple panels or heavy fronts are involved. Because the hinge width when opened is 3 inches, it aligns with the range of hinge widths listed by the manufacturer, which includes 1-1/16, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2, and 3 inch options, so this size can be selected where a wider bearing surface is desired. The bright nickel finish is one of five finishes in the same piano hinge line, alongside Antique Brass, Bright Brass, Black Powder Coat, and Bright Zinc, giving this particular hinge a place where a silver-tone finish is needed to coordinate with surrounding hardware. The lifetime finish noted for these Larsen and Shaw piano hinges adds value in applications that are expected to keep the same appearance over many years of use.
The countersunk screw holes spaced 2 inches on center along every cut length give installers a predictable layout for fasteners, which saves layout time and helps produce straight, even rows of screws along long doors or frames. Because 100 screws are required per 6 foot length of hinge, this 72 inch hinge uses a dense fastening pattern, which spreads holding power along the full edge and supports the hinge against pull-out or twisting loads. The use of #5 flathead screws on most hinges in the line, and #6 flathead screws on the 3 inch wide hinges, standardizes screw type across projects, which can simplify inventory planning when multiple hinge widths are used together. The piano hinge format itself, as part of the Hinges | Piano Hinges category, creates a single pivot line rather than multiple individual hinges, which improves alignment during installation because there is only one component to position. With finishes ranging from Antique Brass to Bright Nickel across the Larsen and Shaw series, this specific bright nickel hinge can be matched visually with other hinges in the same family when a job requires different lengths or widths but the same surface look.
