Full Mortise Equal-Leaf Design

The AHDGH-112 uses an equal-leaf full-mortise configuration.

Unlike an inset geared hinge, both leaves are configured for a balanced installation where the opening does not require an offset or inset condition.

This makes the AHDGH-112 ideal for compatible commercial door and frame systems requiring:

• Equal-leaf geometry

• No inset

• Clean full-mortise installation

• Continuous heavy-duty support

Always verify the existing door and frame preparation before ordering.

Continuous Geared Hinge Construction

Traditional butt hinges concentrate the door load at several individual points.

The AHDGH-112 supports the door continuously along nearly its entire height, helping:

• Distribute door weight

• Reduce localized frame stress

• Minimize sagging

• Maintain latch alignment

• Reduce wear at individual hinge locations

• Maintain consistent clearances

• Improve performance on frequently used doors

Heavy-Duty Performance

The AHDGH-112 is designed for compatible doors weighing up to:

450 lb

This makes it well suited for demanding commercial and institutional environments where conventional hinges may experience accelerated wear.

American Made Construction

The AHDGH Series is Vector Hinge Co.'s American-made geared hinge platform.

The AHDGH-112 combines domestic manufacturing with a heavy-duty continuous hinge design for commercial openings where durability, alignment, and long-term performance are critical.
