Ives Geared Hinges

Ives Continuous Hinges are designed to last the life of the building. The unique design distributes the weight of the door along the entire length of the frame, reducing the high amount of stress normally associated at top of door and frame on butt hinge applications. Not only does this reduce hinge failure, it also keeps your door in constant alignment, greatly reducing the chance of door sag. These characteristics make continuous hinges suitable for high use / high traffic doors. The design of a continuous hinge eliminates the gap between the door and the frame. The absence of gaps also helps prevent fingers from being pinched, making it a safer device than traditional hinges.
