Precision 1/8" Inset

The defining feature of the HDGH-111 is its 1/8" inset.

This configuration is designed for compatible door and frame preparations where the door leaf requires an inset relationship rather than an equal-leaf / flush configuration.

Always verify the existing hinge geometry before replacing a continuous hinge.

Full Mortise Concealed-Leaf Design

The HDGH-111 uses a full-mortise concealed-leaf configuration for a clean commercial installation.

Benefits include:

• Streamlined appearance

• Reduced exposed hardware

• Continuous door support

• Improved door alignment

• Smooth operation

• Heavy-duty performance in high-use openings

Continuous Geared Hinge Construction

Unlike conventional butt hinges that support the door at only several individual points, the HDGH-111 supports the door continuously along nearly the entire hinge side.

This helps:

• Distribute the door's weight

• Reduce concentrated frame stress

• Minimize sagging

• Improve latch alignment

• Reduce wear at individual hinge points

• Maintain consistent clearances

• Improve performance on frequently used doors

Heavy-Duty Performance

The HDGH-111 is designed for compatible doors weighing up to:

450 lb

It is well suited for commercial openings where conventional hinges may experience accelerated wear due to door weight or frequent cycling.
