I used a stainless piano hinge from McMaster Carr, part number 1582A265, " Type 304 Stainless Steel Piano Hinge without Holes, .060" Thick, 1-1/2" Width, 1/8" Pin Diameter ". They sell them in different lengths, 1', 2', 3' etc. The 3' piece was $13 and I drilled my own holes to match. I believe Lowes also carries these style hinges.
On a side note, the early hinges were metal piano style hinges and they were later replaced with the plastic hinges.
