Larsen and Shaw Black Powdercoat 1-1/4"x72" Steel Piano Hinge - 1119D06PF

Larsen And Shaw Piano Hinge For Continuous Runs

Larsen and Shaw piano hinge in black powdercoat is a 1-1/4 inch x 72 inch steel piano hinge designed to carry a door or lid along its full length, which helps distribute load and reduce localized stress points. The .060 gauge steel construction gives the hinge a solid leaf thickness, which supports repeated opening and closing in typical woodworking and cabinet applications. The 72 inch length allows one continuous hinge run on long doors or lids, which minimizes alignment issues that often appear with multiple shorter hinges. The black powdercoat finish provides a dark, uniform appearance on the hinge, which helps it blend visually on darker casework or panels. As a piano hinge in the Hinges category, it provides continuous pivoting support along the entire joint, which is useful where smooth travel and consistent gap lines are important.

Key Piano Hinge Details For Project Planning

• The 1-1/4 inch opened width provides a moderate leaf projection on each side of the joint, which helps installers position screw rows on typical cabinet door and carcass edges without crowding the edge.
• The 72 inch length allows a single continuous hinge strip on tall doors or long lids, which reduces layout time compared with spacing multiple butt hinges and supports more even door movement.
• The .060 gauge steel material gives the hinge a robust feel, which supports doors and lids in common woodworking assemblies where consistent pivot action is needed over time.
• The black powdercoat finish provides a colored surface, which helps builders coordinate hinge appearance with other black components in a project.
• As a Larsen and Shaw piano hinge, this part follows their continuous hinge format, which installers often use where aligned knuckles and a straight pin line matter along the full opening.

Mounting Details And Screw Hole Spacing

All cut lengths of this Larsen and Shaw piano hinge have countersunk screw holes spaced 2 inches apart on center, which simplifies laying out fastener locations along a long door or frame edge. The hinge is designed to use flathead screws, which sit flush in the countersunk holes and help the leaf sit tight to the mounting surface. Across a 6 foot length, 100 screws are specified, which indicates a dense fastening pattern that spreads load and helps resist leaf pull-away in service. This model uses #5 flathead screws, rather than the #6 screws used on 3 inch wide hinges, which aligns with its 1-1/4 inch width and typical cabinet-scale applications.

Using This 1-1/4 x 72 Piano Hinge In Work

Where This Black Powdercoat Piano Hinge Fits

This 1-1/4 inch x 72 inch steel piano hinge in black powdercoat fits projects that benefit from a full-length pivot, such as tall cabinet doors, storage lids, or similar continuous runs. The 1-1/4 inch opened width keeps the hinge footprint compact, which suits slimmer door edges and cabinet sides where excessive projection is not desired. Being classified under Hinges | Piano Hinges, it is suited to applications where the hinge line needs to stay straight along the entire opening, helping maintain consistent reveals. The black powdercoat finish gives a dark visual line along the knuckles, which can complement dark laminates, painted surfaces, or other black hardware components on the job.

Details That Support Alignment And Repeatable Results

The countersunk screw holes spaced 2 inches apart on center streamline layout, because the spacing is consistent from end to end and supports a repeatable drilling pattern. Using #5 flathead screws in these countersunk holes allows the screw heads to sit flush, which keeps the door or frame surface even against the hinge leaf. The .060 gauge steel construction holds the knuckle and pin line in a stable profile, which supports smooth door swing and consistent clearances after installation. The full 72 inch length reduces the need to align multiple hinges vertically, which helps minimize cumulative error and saves time during production or on-site fitting. As a Larsen and Shaw piano hinge with a lifetime finish statement in the product line, it is intended to remain serviceable in typical woodworking environments where the hinge is opened and closed repeatedly.
