Heavy-Duty Aluminum | Full Mortise | Continuous Geared Design | Commercial Door Hinge

Support demanding commercial door openings with this 83" Full Mortise Geared Continuous Hinge, designed to distribute door weight along nearly the entire height of the opening.

The continuous geared design replaces traditional individual butt hinges with a full-length hinge system, helping reduce stress on the door and frame while improving alignment and long-term operating performance.

Constructed from durable aluminum, this hinge is well suited for high-traffic commercial, institutional, and industrial door applications.

Full Mortise Design

The hinge leaves mount into the mortised edges of the door and frame, providing a clean installation with the hinge positioned between the door and jamb.

Full mortise continuous hinges are commonly used where traditional butt hinges experience excessive wear or where improved load distribution is desired.

Continuous Geared Operation

A geared continuous hinge uses interlocking aluminum gear profiles connected through a continuous channel.

This design allows the hinge to:

• Spread door weight over the full hinge length

• Reduce concentrated stress at individual hinge points

• Help maintain door alignment

• Reduce hinge-related sag

• Improve long-term performance on frequently operated doors

• Provide smooth opening and closing action

Ideal for High-Traffic Openings

Continuous hinges are commonly installed on doors exposed to repeated daily use, including:

• Schools

• Hospitals

• Government Buildings

• Retail Entrances

• Office Buildings

• Airports

• Warehouses

• Assisted-Living Facilities

• Commercial Facilities

• Institutional Buildings

Benefits Over Traditional Butt Hinges

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

A continuous hinge spreads that load across the height of the door, which can help:

• Reduce frame reinforcement fatigue

• Minimize door sag

• Maintain consistent clearances

• Reduce hinge replacement frequency

• Extend the service life of heavily used openings

Important

Verify the following before ordering:

• Door height

• Door thickness

• Frame profile

• Required hinge clearance

• Door weight

• Door width

• Existing hinge preparation

• Required finish

Fasteners, electrical power-transfer options, fire-rating requirements, and specialty modifications vary by hinge configuration and should be confirmed before ordering.
