    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.

    Geared Full-Length Entry Door Hinges

    Our smoothest-operating, longest-lasting entry door hinges. A geared mechanism pivots more smoothly than a pin and won’t bend or break under stress. These hinges run the full length of doors to distribute weight evenly. This prevents shifting and sagging so doors open and close properly.

    Moisture and chemical resistant, these hinges hold up where metal hinges could break down. You'll often find them on enclosures, cabinets, and other equipment.
    Pinless—With a flexible joint instead of a pin, these hinges are free of gaps or grooves that can trap dirt and debris. They also eliminate lubricants and metal-to-metal contact for use where contamination is a concern, such as mixing containers.
    Polyolefin—These hinges withstand fatigue from frequent opening and closing. They also resist mild chemicals, oil, and UV light.
