aka continuous hinge
looking at some designs online and all seem to use piano hinges

is it just more strength because it seems to me that three hinges
should be plenty for a 3 foot long door
maybe there are other benefits to a piano hinge that i am missing

Long thin-ish stock with heavy load. .. many small screws.
