CRHD780570 Full Surface Continuous Hinge
Support frequently used doors along the hinge side with the Cal-Royal CRHD780570 Full Surface Continuous Hinge. A continuous hinge distributes support along its length rather than concentrating the door's load at a few individual butt hinges, helping reduce localized stress and maintain consistent door movement.
Practical Uses
A useful option for compatible commercial doors in offices, schools, retail spaces, and other busy buildings. Consider it for renovation projects or hinge replacements where existing butt hinges are worn and the door and frame remain structurally sound.
Surface Mounting Simplifies Retrofit Preparation
The full-surface design mounts to the faces of the door and frame, avoiding the need to cut new recessed butt-hinge mortises. This can simplify preparation on compatible existing openings. Before installation, check the manufacturer's instructions for mounting dimensions, clearances, fastener requirements, and door and frame compatibility. Proper alignment and secure fastening are essential for smooth operation.
Problems It Helps Address
- Stress at individual hinge points: Continuous support spreads the load along the hinge side instead of relying on a few separate hinges.
- Hinge-related sagging: More evenly distributed support can help limit sagging and the rubbing or uneven gaps it can cause when the opening is sound and correctly installed.
- Worn butt-hinge locations: Surface mounting offers an alternative to reusing existing hinge mortises, provided suitable mounting material is available and manufacturer requirements are met.
- Time-consuming door preparation: The full-surface mounting approach avoids cutting new recessed hinge pockets on compatible doors and frames.
For a door opened repeatedly throughout the day, consistent hinge-side support can help make everyday entry and exit feel smoother. A hinge replacement will not correct structural damage or an out-of-square frame; address those conditions before installation.
