Light Duty Hinges

Not every hinge needs to carry a heavy door or withstand years of agricultural exposure - for lightweight cabinet doors, small access panels, toy box lids, and decorative boxes, a light duty hinge is the correctly specified component: smaller, lighter, and often with a more refined finish than a structural hinge. At the DIY Hardware Store, our light duty hinges cover the small butt hinges, piano hinges, and ornamental hinges used in cabinetry, furniture making, and craft joinery.

Light duty butt hinges in brass, bright zinc, and antique finishes suit small cabinet doors, blanket box lids, and decorative panel applications where the door weight is light and the hinge contributes to the overall appearance of the piece. Piano hinges (continuous hinges) are available in short cut lengths for applications where load needs to be distributed along a full panel edge rather than carried on two or three individual hinges.

Available in a range of small sizes and decorative finishes at the DIY Hardware Store, suitable for cabinetry, furniture repair, and craft projects.
