Heavy-Duty Continuous Geared Hinge | Full Mortise | Commercial Door Hardware | 83" or 95" Length

The Vector HDGH224 Full Mortise Geared Hinge is a heavy-duty continuous hinge designed for demanding commercial door openings where strength, alignment, and long-term reliability are critical.

Its full-length geared design distributes the door load along the entire height of the frame rather than concentrating stress at a few individual hinge points. This helps reduce door sag, improve alignment, and extend the service life of the door and frame.

Available in 83" and 95" lengths, the HDGH224 is ideal for standard-height and taller commercial doors in high-traffic environments.

Full Mortise Design
