Marine Piano Hinge Application
This Taco Metals hinge is built from Type-304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance on boats. It suits doors, large cabinets and hatches that need continuous support along their full length. The polished finish provides a clean appearance on deck or below.
Upgrade From Light-Duty Hardware
The 14-gauge thickness and 40-gauge material offer more rigidity than standard light-duty hinges. Drilled holes on 2-inch centers allow secure fastening without stagger. The jump is worth it when a hatch or cabinet door must stay aligned under frequent use and salt exposure.
Length And Mounting Constraints
The hinge is available in 72-inch lengths only, so the installation must accommodate that fixed size. The 114-inch hole spacing is not adjustable, limiting retrofit flexibility. Builders who need a shorter run or custom hole pattern cannot modify this hinge without cutting and re-drilling.
