    The tiniest hinges we sell can fit on your fingertip. Solder or glue them to attach small covers, panels, and lids.
    Nonremovable Pin—The tamper-resistant choice. Since the pin can’t be removed, the door can only be taken down by removing the hinge completely.
    Brass—With a warm, polished look, these hinges are typically chosen for their appearance. They also resist corrosion in wet environments.

    Plastic Piano Hinges without Holes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hinges. Plastic Piano Hinges without Holes.
    Made of a single piece of plastic, these hinges have no pins to rust or collect debris and never need lubrication. The flexible joint operates silently, unlike metal hinges that can creak or squeak. However, these are not as strong as piano hinges with pins or gears. Drill your own holes to install.
    Polyolefin—Our most popular plastic piano hinges withstand fatigue from frequent opening and closing. They also resist mild chemicals, oil, and UV light.
    PETG—Chemical and impact resistant. Softer than acrylic hinges, these are less likely to crack but can get scratched.
    Acrylic Plastic—A good choice for lightweight, see-through panels and covers. These hinges are strong and scratch resistant, but they can crack from impact.
    PVC—Our most chemical-resistant plastic piano hinges won't degrade when exposed to strong acids and bases.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hinges. Surface Mount, Standard Clearance, Without Mounting Holes, Piano Hinge.
    Extremely light yet remarkably strong. These hinges have carbon fiber leaves and a Kevlar pivot instead of a pin. They’re often used in aerospace, robotics, and electronics applications to limit weight without sacrificing strength. Unlike metal hinges, they won’t corrode when exposed to moisture.
