This Full Mortised Continuous PemkoHinge has short leaves and is specifically designed for doors with a thickness that ranges between 1-3/4" - 2-1/4". It is great for Bifold Applications to keep the faces of the door flush.
This model is available in Standard Duty (Bearing at 6" Centers), Heavy Duty Grade 3 (Bearings at 3" Centers) and Heavy Duty Grade 1 (Bearings at 3" and 1.5" Centers), see chart below for 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.

Hospital Tip Modification
A special modification is available for certain hinges which provides an extra bearing at the top of the gear cap, leaving no opening. A 45°angled cut on the gear cap and leaf covers provides a safe environment for hospitals and correctional facilities.
Fire Pins for Fire Rated Assemblies
- FirePins™ are required to achieve 3-hour fire rating
- Although PemkoHinge™ Continuous Hinges carry UL Fire Ratings unequaled in the industry, some applications may require the use of FirePins™
- FirePin™ applications fall within the UL guidelines for retro-fitting assemblies in the field. Expensive shop modifications and door/frame reinforcements are not required
- FirePins™ also add extra security to a door assembly
FirePin Locations
- The locations (illustrated below) indicate where holes should be drilled on the hinge edge of the door
- These locations are appropriate for all hinge models (Full-Mortise, Full-Surface, and Half-Surface)
