Heavy-Duty Continuous Geared Hinge | Full Surface Mount | Commercial Door Hardware | 83" or 95"

The Vector Hinge Co. HDGH-210 Full Surface Geared Hinge is a heavy-duty continuous hinge designed for demanding commercial door openings where strength, alignment, and long-term durability are essential.

Its full surface mounting design makes the HDGH-210 an excellent solution for retrofit applications where mortising the door and frame is not practical. The continuous geared construction distributes the door load along the full height of the opening, helping reduce door sag, hinge-point stress, and recurring alignment problems.

Built to BHMA Grade 1 performance standards, the HDGH-210 is ideal for high-traffic commercial and institutional doors.

Full Surface Application

The HDGH-210 mounts to the surface of the door and frame, making it especially useful for retrofit projects and openings where existing reinforcement or door preparation makes a full-mortise hinge difficult to install.

The surface-mounted design can help simplify replacement of worn conventional hinges while providing the benefits of a full-length continuous hinge.

Continuous Geared Hinge Benefits

A continuous geared hinge supports the door along nearly its entire height instead of concentrating the load at a few individual hinge points.

Benefits include:

• Reduced door sag

• Improved door alignment

• Better load distribution

• Reduced stress on hinge reinforcement

• Reduced stress on frame reinforcement

• Smooth, consistent door operation

• Improved performance in high-traffic openings

• Longer service life compared with heavily stressed conventional hinges
