Piano Hinges

Protocase Tech Tip Video

Protocase has a variety of hinges in stock. Including a hinged door or lid gives you easy access to everything on the inside of your enclosure. If you have questions regarding hinges for electronic enclosures, please email us at info@protocase.com and we'll respond to you quickly.

The Piano Hinge comes in different material types, open widths, leaf thicknesses, pin diameters and knuckle lengths (see table below). These hinges do not have mounting holes, which gives you flexibility in how you mount them. You can specify that holes be drilled in them to facilitate self clinching fasteners or screws, or depending on materials used, they can also be spot, tack, or seam welded to the enclosure. The Piano Hinge has a range of motion of 270 degrees. Hinges can be cut to length.
