    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.
    PETG—Chemical and impact resistant. Softer than acrylic hinges, these are less likely to crack but can get scratched.
    Polypropylene—Even with the abuse of slamming doors and lids, these hinges won’t crack or break. They also stand up to oil and solvents.
    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.

    170° Range of Motion

    The most widely used cabinet hinges are commonly found in workstations, breakrooms, and storage areas. Mount the door leaf in a round cutout (mortise) and the frame leaf to the cabinet wall. You can adjust them three ways to perfectly align doors. Also known as cup hinges and European hinges.
    Hold Closed—Spring tension pulls the door closed when it’s open less than 10°, and then keeps it closed without a catch or latch.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these hinges to rust.
    Nickel-Plated Steel—These hinges combine rust resistance with an attractive appearance.
    304 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these hinges resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel hinges can.
    For Overlay Door—For doors that cover their frame entirely.
    For Half-Overlay Door—For doors that cover half of their frame.
    For Inset Door—For doors that are flush with their frame when closed.
