Just because they are flexible when they aren't attached to anything doesn't mean they won't work tremendously well. Any one else have any comments on this?

Sure I have comment..works great. :)
NO idea where this *flimsy* came from... :P

My flimsy comments are based on how I can flex the hinge before it's attached to anything. The hinge I do have only allows for a slight bit of flex. Of course, it's made from 14G steel.
That's what I'm looking for; does anyone have a source? If not, I guess my hands are tied.
neuromancer:
I was searching on the internet for high quality outdoor piano hinge once for an architectual application (casement windows).
I can't remember anything about the name of the company, but they sell military grade piano hinges -- they actually supply military contractors with hinges for tanks and ships.
Google is your friend ;-)

Just wanted to update, RandyT gave me this website: http://www.mcmaster.com/ and they've got really heavy duty piano hinges on their site.
RandyT was complaining about the high shipping amounts, but I think that was due to the unusual size of the package. Something really skinny, but six feet long, would constitute an ususually sized package.
