Jay, check out Grizzly web site and discontinued tools. I received a
flyer with a shipment yesterday. One of the items was piano hinges. Do
not recall sizes or prices but might be worth a look.

cut 'em to size, out of some longer ones?

Crimp and or flatten the bottom end at the pin if the pin wants to come
out.. A lite whack with a hammer should do it. Home Depot and Lowes also
have these hinges.

this probably won't be necessary. Pretty much all piano hinges have
the pin crimped in every few inches. they're made to be cut to length.
Hi Jay,
DAGS for "piano hinge". Rockler stock it. Simply cut it to size with a
hacksaw.
I'm not sure that I uderstand your dimensions, which seem to imply that
you're looking for an assymetric hinge. All the piano hinges I've seen have
had leaves of equal sizes.

Or a drop of red Loctite (Loctite 271 if you're getting it from an
industrial supplier). Don't use too much though.

Make sure you're fastening the same leaf to the pin, whichever way you go.

If I do this, will I still be able to somehow keep the pin from
falling out? I'm pretty light on metalworking skills....

Not asymetric - the dimensions listed are Thickness x Width x Length.
The leaves are each 3/4". If I need to, I'll get a couple 48 inchers
and cut them down into thirds less a couple of kerf widths. I'm
guessing I should remove the pin prior to cutting so as to have enough
left to pein over?
