Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a piano hinge?
A piano hinge - also known as a continuous hinge - is a type of hinge with equally sized leaves with a central pin holding them together. They get their name from their use of piano lids. You can find out more in our complete guide to continuous hinges.
2. What is a piano hinge used for?
Piano hinges are used for a wide range of applications aside from piano lids. They are commonly found in use on furniture and equipment where there is a requirement for the hinge to open to 270 degrees or further. You can find out more and decide if piano hinges are right for your project in our guide to piano hinge uses.
3. What finishes are piano hinges available in?
Piano hinges are available in a wide range of materials and finishes. Here at Cooke Brothers our piano hinges are available in mild and stainless steel, brass and aluminium with nickel and brass plated colours along with polished and satin finishes.
4. How to install piano hinges

Piano hinges can be a little tricky to fit on larger furniture, but follow these simple steps to get it right every time:

  • Place the piano hinge on the edge of either the lid or body and fold it 90 degrees over the edge of the furniture to ensure it is in line and level
  • Put the first pilot hole in, ensuring there is a space between the end of the hinge and the first screw. Repeat this procedure until you have reached the other end of the hinge
  • Keep the hinge at a 90-degree angle to ensure it stays lined up for each hole
  • Remove the hinge and do the same for the opposing piece of the furniture
  • Clamp or fasten the two pieces of furniture together ensuring they are level and inline
  • Fit your hinge using the guide holes created in the previous steps
5. How to adjust piano hinges
If the installation went well, you should not need to adjust a continuous hinge. If your lid is not sitting flush to the furniture you may need to adjust the screw position in that area.
