This Full Mortised Continuous PemkoHinge is designed mainly for new door applications and are applied to the frame rabbet and edge of the door. The leaves of the hinges are concealed by the door. This model is available in Standard Duty and Heavy Duty Grades 1 or 3, see chart below for bearings and weight capabilities.
Attributes:
- Efficiency: With a continuous hinge, typical alignment problems (such as door sag and binding) are eliminated.
- Uniformity: The continuous hinge distributes load stress uniformly along the full length of the door and frame.
- Durability: The gear design of the continuous hinge ensures symmetrical operation of each leaf which extends the life of the hinge and door.
- Low Operating Force: 1⁄2 lb. or less operating force required to operate most doors, regardless of size.
- Code Compliance: Low operating force feature makes continuous hinges ideal for doors used by the physically challenged.
- Steel Frame Compatibility: The continuous hinge, when installed on standard steel doors and frames, requires no additional reinforcement. However, hinge preps must have fillers installed for proper operation.
- Security: A high degree of security can be achieved for exterior openings or restricted spaces by using a continuous hinge. With the geared construction and the full-length channel cap, the common gap between the door and frame is sealed, which provides security against prying.
- Safety: In addition, the continuous full-height hinge cap protects against pinching fingers in doors in public areas, particularly those where children are present.
- Privacy: Sight proof design of the continuous hinge provides privacy for lavatories, executive offices, or file rooms.
Design Features:
- PemkoHinge™ has increased critical stress points of the hinge leaf extrusions providing additional strengths and rigidity to the completed product.
- PemkoHinge™ bearing design eliminates premature wear, guarantees proper alignment, and requires fewer bearings to carry more weight. The bearing is produced for the manufacturer using a chemical composition and injection process that provides a stronger, more accurately formed bearing.
- PemkoHinge™ is designed with inter-meshing gear segments in the hinge which provide 50% more bearing surface resulting in less wear.
- PemkoHinge™ goes through the anodizing process after completing all machining. This means the machined aluminum surfaces that are in direct contact with the bearing have a smoother, harder surface, thereby reducing wear.
- PemkoHinge™ maintains uniform bearing spacing for the full length of the hinge even when lengths exceed 10'.
- PemkoHinge™ uses #12-24 size fasteners instead of #10. (#12 Tek fasteners available upon request through our office).
- PemkoHinge™ commercial models are ideal for use on lead lined doors (i.e. hospital X-ray rooms), without requiring special screw locations.
