Buying Guide

Choose the right material

Stainless steel (304) resists corrosion for outdoor or marine use, while plated steels may be suitable for indoor cabinets and light-duty projects

Match hinge length to application

Continuous hinges are sold in common lengths (24, 30, 36, 48 inches); pick a length that supports the full edge of the lid or door for even load distribution

Check thickness and gauge

Thicker leaves and heavier gauges increase load capacity and reduce flex on heavy doors or lids—look for specs labeled heavy duty for demanding uses

Consider finish and coating

Black-coated stainless options provide added aesthetic contrast, while plain stainless offers a low-maintenance, corrosion-resistant finish

Buy the right fasteners and spacing

Ensure screw hole spacing and recommended fastener size match your substrate for secure mounting and to avoid concentrated stress points
