Continuous Geared Design

Unlike conventional butt hinges that support the door at only a few locations, a continuous geared hinge spreads the load along nearly the entire height of the door.

This design can help reduce:

• Door sag

• Hinge reinforcement stress

• Loose hinge screws

• Alignment problems

• Uneven gaps

• Premature hardware wear

• Maintenance requirements

Full Mortise Installation

The full mortise design mounts within the hinge edge of the door and frame, providing a clean architectural appearance.

When the door is closed, much of the hinge assembly remains concealed between the door and frame.

Full mortise geared hinges are commonly used when a durable continuous hinge is required without a prominent surface-mounted profile.

Heavy-Duty Aluminum Construction

The aluminum construction provides a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and smooth operation.

Benefits include:

• Commercial-grade durability

• Corrosion resistance

• Reduced maintenance

• Long service life

• Clean architectural appearance
