ABH A515 Swing Clear Pin & Barrel Continuous Hinge | US32D Satin Stainless Steel

The ABH A515 is a heavy-duty swing clear pin & barrel continuous hinge specifically engineered to provide maximum clearance and structural longevity for high-traffic, high-abuse openings. Featuring an integrated edge guard on the stop side, this 14-gauge stainless steel hinge is the premier solution for commercial door security in environments where wide-load carts, gurneys, or heavy equipment pass through frequently. The concealed mounting design ensures a clean architectural look while acting as a permanent solution for door restoration.

Maximum Clearance for Healthcare and Industrial Access

The ABH A515 utilizes a specialized swing-clear geometry that moves the door completely out of the opening when opened at 90 degrees. This design is a vital solution for door surface repair and frame protection:

• Swing Clear Capability: By relocating the pivot point, this hinge creates a wider net opening, helping facilities meet ADA requirements for accessible passage without needing to replace the door or frame.
• Integrated Edge Guard: The hinge includes a protective lip on the stop side only, providing a robust solution for door edge reinforcement. This guard shields the leading edge of the door from the frequent impacts of hospital beds, carts, and heavy equipment.
  
• No Exposed Fasteners: When the door is closed, all mounting hardware is completely concealed. This tamper-resistant feature provides a secure solution for commercial door security in schools, correctional facilities, and public institutions.
• Standard 1-3/4” Door Compatibility: Precision-engineered for square-edged doors, ensuring a perfect fit for standard commercial architectural openings.
  

Industrial-Grade Durability and Weight Support

Built from Heavy-Duty 14 Gauge 304 Stainless Steel, the A515 is designed to outlast traditional butt hinges by distributing the door's weight evenly across the entire length of the jamb:

• Massive Weight Capacity: This continuous hinge supports door weights up to 600 lbs and maximum door widths of 4’0”, making it the definitive choice for oversized or lead-lined doors.
  
• 3-Hour Fire Rated Protection: This hinge is UL and ULC listed for extreme life safety requirements: 3 hours for hollow metal doors, 90 minutes for composite wood doors, and 20 minutes for standard wood doors.
• Thru-Bolt Stability: To ensure a permanent "clamping" fix on high-traffic doors, the hinge is secured with self-drilling machine screws and is compatible with thru bolts for maximum pull-out resistance.
• Architectural Satin Stainless Steel: The US32D (630) finish is non-corrosive and stands up to the aggressive medical-grade disinfectants used in sterile healthcare environments.
