    Miniature Hinges

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hinges. Miniature Hinges.
    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 Friction Hinges

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hinges. Plastic Friction Hinges.
    A lightweight alternative to metal hinges for lids, panels, and doors. Instead of springs or props, these hinges use resistance to keep lids, panels, and doors open.
    Torque—When selecting a hinge to use with a lid, first find the torque force needed to move the lid. Multiply the weight of the lid (in pounds) by the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid (in inches). For example: if the lid weighs 3 lbs. and the distance between the hinge and the center of the lid is 12", the torque force is 3 lbs. × 12"= 36 in.-lbs. Divide the torque force by the number of hinges. For example, if using two hinges 36 in.-lbs. ÷ 2 = 18 in.-lbs. each.

    Slip-On Plastic Piano Hinges

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hinges. Slip-On Plastic Piano Hinges.
    Slide onto panels and doors for a secure fit without holes, screws, or glue. 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.
    PVC—Our most chemical-resistant plastic piano hinges won't degrade when exposed to strong acids and bases.

    Secure heavy metal doors and gates without the bulk of large hinge leaves. The compact bullet shape of these hinges takes up very little space on frames and doors. Weld the male half of the hinge to the frame and the female half to the door—then you can quickly lift the door off without removing the pin.
    Low-Carbon Steel—Strong and the easiest to weld but will rust in damp environments.
