Pemko DSH1000-84C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What makes an anti-barricade hinge different from a regular continuous geared hinge?
A standard continuous hinge swings one way. The DSH1000 is a double swing pin and barrel hinge, so the door opens 100 degrees in either direction, inward or outward. That's the whole point in a behavioral health setting: a patient can't wedge or barricade the door shut against staff, because the leaf can be pushed the other way. If you just need a durable full-height hinge on a normal commercial opening, a geared continuous hinge like the ABH A120HD full mortise or the Design Hardware Full Mortise heavy duty is the right family instead. Those don't double swing.
2) Is the Pemko DSH1000 hinge ANSI/BHMA certified for a hospital spec?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.26 Grade 1 certification, and it's also New York State Office of Mental Health Recommended, which is the reference most behavioral health specs in that state are written against. A156.26 is the continuous hinge standard, so a spec calling for a Grade 1 continuous hinge is satisfied on that count.
3) What else do I need to order with a DSH1000 to get a complete anti-barricade opening?
The hinge alone lets the door swing both ways; it does not hold or release the door. Pemko pairs the DSH1000 with the Emergency Release Stop (ERS), or the multipoint version (ERSMP) where you need release at more than one point. That combination is what makes up the full anti-barricade system. Fasteners come with the hinge, TORX-Wood self-tapping screws for the double swing edge mount.
4) I need a continuous hinge on a 90-minute fire rated opening - can I use the Pemko DSH1000?
The DSH1000 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.26 Grade 1 and recommended by the New York State Office of Mental Health, and its published certification is for anti-barricade double swing performance rather than fire. When the opening is a 90-minute hollow metal door, the BEST 663HD heavy duty continuous hinge is 90 minute UL fire rated for 3/32 inch inset doors, and the BEST 664HD full surface continuous geared hinge carries a 90-minute UL fire rating. The NGP HD5700 full surface geared hinge is 10C fire rated 90 minute on hollow metal and takes 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
5) What is the closest continuous hinge to the Pemko DSH1000 if the door only needs to swing one direction?
The DSH1000 is a double swing pin and barrel hinge that carries the door 100 degrees in either direction for anti-barricade use in behavioral health openings. If the opening only swings one way, a conventional continuous geared hinge covers it: the Design Hardware Full Mortise heavy duty continuous geared hinge mortises into the door and frame edge, and the Design Hardware Full Surface heavy duty continuous geared hinge mounts to the faces without prepping the edge. Both are geared hinges, so they hinge in a single direction only and give up the bidirectional emergency access the DSH1000 is built for.
6) Is the ABH A135HD a substitute for the Pemko DSH1000 since both are described as safety hinges?
They solve different safety problems. The DSH1000 is a double swing pin and barrel hinge whose 100-degree bidirectional swing keeps a patient from barricading a door, with a hard stop to prevent pinched fingers. The ABH A135HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge with safety design, meaning a geared hinge with a hinge-side finger guard on a door that still swings one way. If the requirement on the drawing is anti-barricade emergency access, the A135HD does not replace the DSH1000; if the requirement is finger protection at the hinge edge on a standard swing door, the A135HD is the geared option.
7) How does the DSH1000 hinge keep patients or staff from getting fingers pinched?
There's a hard stop built in. The hinge tops out at 100 degrees of swing in each direction, and that stop is what keeps the leaf off the frame and the gap from closing on a hand. It's the reason the swing is limited to 100 degrees rather than running fully flat against the wall.
8) Is an aluminum continuous hinge strong enough for a psychiatric unit patient room door?
The DSH1000 uses a heavy duty aluminum alloy body rated to Grade 1, which is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier, and it runs the full height of the door so the load is spread along the whole edge rather than concentrated at three butt hinges. That full-length distribution is the main reason continuous hinges get specified on abuse-prone openings in the first place.
9) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Pemko DSH1000?
No handing to call out. The DSH1000 is non-handed, so one part number covers both left and right hand openings, and it swings both directions anyway. Order by length, 84, 96, or 120 inch, and the finish is clear anodized aluminum.
10) Can I standardize all the doors in my facility on the DSH1000, or only the patient rooms?
Use it where anti-barricade is the requirement: patient rooms, seclusion and crisis intervention rooms, psychiatric units, secure treatment areas. For the corridor, stair, and mechanical doors in the same building, a double swing hinge is the wrong choice, and many of those openings are fire rated where the DSH1000 can't go. Those get a conventional continuous geared hinge such as the ABH A460HD half surface or the Design Hardware Full Surface heavy duty, chosen by how the door sits in the frame.
11) What's the difference between a pin and barrel hinge like the DSH1000 and a geared continuous hinge?
Two different mechanisms. The DSH1000 is pin and barrel, knuckles running the height of the door on a pin, and it's built to reverse direction. Geared continuous hinges, the ABH A120HD, the BEST 641 and 651, the Design Hardware and NGP units, use a meshing gear edge under a cap and swing one way only. If the reason you're shopping is the double swing, the geared hinges won't do it no matter how heavy duty they are.
12) Is the DSH1000 a surface mount or does the door have to be prepped?
Edge mount. The DSH1000 mounts to the edge of the door and the frame with TORX-Wood self-tapping fasteners supplied with the hinge, rather than dropping into a mortise pocket. If your existing doors are prepped for a full mortise or full surface geared hinge, that's a different mounting condition, and products like the ABH A120HD full mortise or the ABH A210HD full surface swing clear cover those preps.
13) We standardize on stainless continuous hinges in patient rooms - is there an alternative to the aluminum Pemko DSH1000?
The DSH1000 is aluminum, listed with an aluminum alloy substrate and clear anodized aluminum finish in 84, 96 and 120 inch lengths. For a stainless steel hinge in the same institutional setting, the BEST 651 is a stainless steel full mortise continuous hinge with hospital tips, listed at medium duty. The BEST 641 is the steel full mortise standard duty version of the same pattern, also with hospital tips. Both are single-direction hinges with sloped hospital tips, so they answer the ligature-conscious tip detail but not the bidirectional anti-barricade swing.
14) What is the difference between the Pemko DSH1000 and a full mortise geared hinge like the ABH A120HD when it comes to the door prep?
The DSH1000 is a double swing edge mount hinge, fastened with TORX-Wood self-tapping fasteners on a 1-3/4 inch door, and its geometry has to leave the door free to travel 100 degrees both ways. The ABH A120HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge, full mortise, with easy install technology, meaning it sets into a routed pocket in the door and frame edge and finishes flush. A full mortise geared hinge is the choice when the opening is a standard single-swing door and the frame can be prepped; the DSH1000 is the choice when the door has to open away from a patient blocking it.
15) The NGP HD1100A is called Grade 1 in its description but listed Grade 3 - how does it compare to the Pemko DSH1000 on grade?
The DSH1000 carries a Grade 1 rating to ANSI/BHMA A156.26, the standard that covers continuous hinges, and Grade 1 is what a behavioral health or institutional spec normally calls out. The NGP HD1100A is a concealed continuous geared hinge, 83 inches, and its stated grade is Grade 3, with a 10C fire rating of 90 minute on hollow metal. If the submittal requires Grade 1 continuous hinges, the DSH1000 meets it and the HD1100A is a lower grade tier, though the HD1100A is the one that hides the hinge when the door is closed.
16) Do any of the geared continuous hinges work with the Pemko Emergency Release Stop the way the DSH1000 does?
The DSH1000 is designed to pair with the Pemko Emergency Release Stop (ERS) or the multipoint ERSMP to form a complete anti-barricade system, and its 100-degree bidirectional swing is what the release stop is built around. The geared alternatives - the ABH A120HD full mortise, the ABH A460HD half surface, the Design Hardware heavy duty geared hinges and the BEST full mortise hinges - are single-direction gear hinges, so they do not provide the reverse swing the release stop system depends on. If the anti-barricade package is on the schedule, keep the DSH1000 as the hinge.
17) Does 100 degrees of swing give me enough clearance to get a gurney or wheelchair through?
100 degrees is just past square to the frame, so the leaf clears the opening but doesn't lie flat against the wall, and the door itself eats a few inches of the clear width. If maximum clear opening is the driver on a healthcare corridor, a swing clear hinge such as the ABH A210HD full surface swing clear takes the door leaf out of the opening entirely. The DSH1000 is chosen for barricade prevention, not for clear width.
18) Is a medium duty continuous hinge enough, or do I need a heavy duty one on a patient room door?
The Pemko DSH1000 is a Grade 1 hinge in aluminum alloy built for high-traffic institutional openings. Among the geared alternatives the duty tiers are stated plainly: the BEST 641 and BEST 651 full mortise hinges with hospital tips are medium duty, while the BEST 663HD and BEST 664HD, and the Design Hardware Full Mortise, Full Surface and Full Surface Offset geared hinges, are heavy duty. On a patient room or corridor door that gets abused, the heavy duty tier is the one specifiers usually hold to; medium duty suits lower-cycle interior openings.
