Materials
Mild Steel
A strong base material generally used on internal applications rather than externally. This base material requires a protective finish in order to provide corrosion resistance. Many of our mild steel products are sold in self colour (unfinished) state for customers to apply their own finish. We do offer some of these finishes online, such as zinc-plating and powder coating. Other finishes are available by request.

Frequently Asked Questions
You may need two or more people to instal heavy duty piano hinges as the furniture is likely to be large and heavy. Ensure you have enough people to carry out the job safely and securely. Here we offer a slightly different approach to the piano hinge installation guide above:
- Clamp or fasten the two pieces of furniture together ensuring they are level and inline
- Measure up and put the hinge in place
- 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 a pilot hole for each screw on both sides of the hinge
- Fit your hinge using the guide holes created in the previous steps
