Pemko CFM__-HD1 Continuous Hinge, Full Mortise Heavy Duty

Pemko CFM-HD1 Continuous Geared Hinge, Full Mortise Heavy Duty

Pemko's heavy duty anodized aluminum Full Mortise units are designed mainly for new door applications, because the door must be undersized to accommodate hinge. For Example, a normal 3'0" wide door is typically 35-3/4" wide, but to use this hinge, the door would need to be 35-1/2" to 35-9/16" depending on field conditions.

For those seeking detailed specifications of a continuous geared hinge, the following information is crucial for making an informed purchase decision:

• Finish: The hinge comes in a sleek Clear Anodized finish, enhancing its durability and providing a modern look.
• Dimensions:
  • Width: 25/32" (19.8 mm)
  • Height: 2-9/16" (65.1 mm)
• Weight Bearing Capacity: This heavy-duty hinge can support up to 540 lbs, ensuring robust performance for demanding applications.

These specifications, combined with the versatile length options, make this continuous hinge a reliable choice for various architectural needs.

Features:

• Fasteners are No. 12-24 x 7/16" FHUC, Type C, thread forming, no tapping required
• Applied to conceal both leaves
  
  

Comprehensive Features for Enhanced Security and Functionality

When it comes to the Full Mortise Continuous Geared Hinge, its features are meticulously designed to provide unparalleled security and functionality. Let's explore how this hinge stands out:

• Uniform Load Distribution: The continuous hinge distributes load stress uniformly along the door and frame, ensuring long-lasting durability and preventing potential weaknesses.
• Ease of Operation: With an operating force of 1/2 lb. Or less, these hinges are ideal for environments where accessibility is crucial, offering smooth operation regardless of door size.
• Safety Design: The hinge's construction conceals both leaves and includes a sight-proof design, ensuring privacy in sensitive areas like lavatories and executive offices. Additionally, it acts as a reinforcement for the door and frame, significantly enhancing security.
• Advanced Gear Mechanism: The inter-meshing gear segments provide 50% more bearing surface, reducing wear and extending the hinge's lifespan. The gear design also ensures symmetrical operation, maintaining consistent performance.
• Durability and Wear Resistance: By undergoing an anodizing process post-machining, the hinge boasts smoother, harder surfaces that reduce wear. The new bearing design guarantees proper alignment and longevity, even in high-stress applications.
• Customization and Application Versatility: These hinges accommodate various door types, including those used in specialized settings like hospital X-ray rooms, without requiring special screw locations.

Fire Safety Features

Safety is not left to chance. The hinge can also be equipped with FirePins, adding an extra layer of security in fire-rated door assemblies. This feature is particularly important in commercial settings where fire codes are stringent and non-negotiable.

Overall, the Full Mortise Continuous Geared Hinge provides a robust solution for new door installations, offering aesthetics, customizable features, and practical benefits that translate into reduced costs and enhanced safety.

Advantages of Inter-Meshing Gear Segments in a Continuous Hinge

Enhanced Durability:

Continuous hinges featuring inter-meshing gear segments benefit from an increased bearing surface. This design reduces the stress on individual components, leading to significantly less wear over time.

Improved Load Distribution:

With the gears interlocking seamlessly, weight and pressure are distributed more evenly across the hinge. This results in smoother operation, even in high-traffic areas.

Increased Longevity:

The reduction in friction and wear extends the life of the hinge. It requires less frequent maintenance and replacement, saving time and money in the long term.

Consistent Performance:

Inter-meshing gear hinges provide a stable and reliable function, ensuring doors maintain their alignment and operation without frequent adjustments.

By choosing a hinge with inter-meshing gear segments, you gain a robust, long-lasting solution that enhances door performance and minimizes maintenance efforts.
