| SPEP Brand Continuous Hinges Are Inconspicuous And EffectiveYou’ll Never Notice ThemWhen you’re in the market for hinges, there are a few things to consider. Are you looking for a hinge that keeps its position? If so, you’ll want friction hinges. If you’re looking for a classic hinge that works with most applications, try a butt hinge. But if you’re most interested in maintaining a consistent range of motion and distributing force along a wide area, continuous hinges are probably the answer.
SPEP continuous hinges usually span the entire length of the door and are affixed with small screws. As opposed to butt hinges or friction hinges, the length of the continuous hinges means that weight is evenly distributed and there’s less chance of degradation of hinge quality. Continuous hinges were originally known as piano hinges, because they were used to open and close pianos. They are relatively unobtrusive and can blend in with an attractive design (like a piano) without standing out or being blatantly obvious – like a butt or a friction hinge. You basically couldn’t use any other type of hinge on a piano lid without marring the aesthetics.
The same concepts apply to using continuous hinges on everyday objects. If you’re going for good looks, continuous hinges are the way to go. Of course, most continuous hinges sacrifice build quality for looks, so if you’re looking for a hinge that lasts most continuous hinges are going to do the opposite. At Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products, we produce continuous hinges that look good, are relatively unobtrusive, and – most importantly – will last for years and years. The quality our customers have come to expect is evident in our continuous hinges, thanks to our team of engineers employing consistent manufacturing processes and testing methodology. Every hinge is built the same way and is exposed to a rigorous quality control process, meaning you get quality every time you buy a hinge from us.
