    About Specialty Hinges:

    • Specialty Hinges are Tested and certified with the best warranty in the industry.
    • No restrictions on frame gauge and wall conditions.
    • No restriction on cutting hinges in field.
    • No special cutting instructions or voided warranties.
    • No special door and frame preps up to and including 90 minute doors.

    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.
