Ives IVE-026XY-83-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives 026XY continuous hinge work on a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The 026XY is the wide door leaf version of the Ives full mortise geared continuous hinge, built specifically for 2 inch and 2-1/4 inch doors. Standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors are outside its range, so if you are hanging a normal hollow metal or wood door at 1-3/4 inches you need a standard-width leaf continuous hinge instead. Maximum door width on the 026XY is 48 inches.
2) How heavy a door can an Ives 026XY geared continuous hinge carry?
Up to 450 pounds with no frame reinforcing, and up to 600 pounds when the frame is reinforced. That covers thick lead-lined, acoustic, and heavy timber doors in the 2 to 2-1/4 inch range. Because it is a full-length geared hinge, the load spreads down the whole jamb rather than concentrating at three or four butt locations, which is what keeps a heavy leaf from sagging over time.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering an Ives 026XY continuous hinge?
Not for a standard unit. The 026XY is non-handed, so one hinge serves a left or right hand opening. Handing only gets specified when you add one of the handed options: hospital tip (HT), electric power transfer prep (EPT), or the electric throughwire panel (TWP). Those features sit at a specific end or side of the hinge, so right hand or left hand has to be called out on the order.
4) What screws come with an Ives 026XY hinge, and what do I order for a wood door?
Standard mounting hardware is 12-24 x 3/4 inch steel self drilling, self tapping (TEK) screws for hollow metal door and frame. If the opening is not hollow metal, pick the matching fastener package on the order: WD wood screws for a wood door and wood frame, or TEKWD for a wood door in a hollow metal frame (half self drill, half wood). Security versions in hex pin drive are available for all three combinations, SECHM for hollow metal, SECWDWD for wood door and frame, and SECWDHM for a mixed opening.
5) Which continuous hinge should I use on a weatherstripped or gasketed exterior door?
A full mortise geared hinge with a controlled door inset is what you want, and the 026XY is set up for exactly that: it is recommended for gasketing and weatherstripping applications and holds a 3/32 inch door inset. That inset is what leaves consistent room for the gasket to compress along the hinge jamb. It also takes beveled or square edge doors, so the door edge profile does not change the choice.
6) Can an Ives 026XY hinge carry wiring for an electrified lock or card reader?
Yes, two ways. Order it with EPT prep to route an electric power transfer through the hinge, or with the TWP CON electric throughwire panel with Allegion Connect for a factory wired transfer built into the hinge. Both are handed options, so call out RH or LH with the order. If the opening has no electrified hardware, the standard version has no wire path.
7) Why use a continuous geared hinge instead of three heavy weight butt hinges?
Two reasons that matter on a high traffic opening. The geared hinge runs the full height of the door, so weight is carried along the entire jamb instead of at three points, which is what stops the sag and the drifting alignment that pull a heavy door out of its frame. It also closes the gaps between hinge locations, removing the pinch points a butt hinged door has at the hinge edge. On the 026XY the load path is a patented center loaded, interlocking bearing design.
8) Is the Ives 026XY a hospital tip hinge for a healthcare corridor?
It can be. HT hospital tip is an ordering option on the 026XY, which closes off the end of the hinge so gurneys, IV poles, and carts do not catch. Specify RH or LH when you order it, since the tip is handed. Standard units ship without it.
