Pemko CFM83 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko FM Series continuous hinge work on a 1-3/4 inch thick door?
Yes. The FM Series full mortise geared hinge is rated for doors up to 1-3/4 inches thick and up to 4 feet wide, which covers standard commercial openings. Above either of those numbers it is the wrong hinge for the door.
2) What lengths does the Pemko FM continuous hinge come in, and can I cut one down for a shorter door?
Stock lengths are 83, 85, 95 and 120 inches, and the FM Series is field-cuttable, so a longer piece can be trimmed to the opening. The minimum length is 79 inches, so do not cut below that. The full series runs up to 10 feet.
3) Do I need to specify left or right hand when ordering a Pemko FM Series geared hinge?
No handing to specify. The FM Series is non-handed, so one part number covers a left or right swing opening. That also means you can stock a single hinge for a building with doors swinging both ways.
4) Is the Pemko FM Series hinge approved for a fire rated door?
The FM Series carries UL 10C certification for fire-rated applications and is ANSI/BHMA A156.26 certified, Grade 1. That makes it usable on fire door assemblies in healthcare, education and government facilities where the door schedule calls for a listed continuous hinge.
5) What is the difference between a full mortise continuous hinge and a surface mounted one?
A full mortise hinge like the FM Series is let into the edge of the door and the frame, so both leaves are concealed when the door is closed. That takes a door and frame prepped for it, which is why the FM is aimed at new door applications rather than a retrofit onto an existing prepped opening. A continuous geared hinge of any mount type runs the full door height and spreads the door weight along the whole edge instead of concentrating it at three or four butt hinges.
6) How much clearance do I need between the door and frame for a Pemko FM geared hinge?
Minimum clearance is 5/16 inch. If the existing gap at the hinge edge is tighter than that, the door or frame has to be adjusted before the hinge will work. It fastens with self-drilling Teks screws, so no separate tapping step on the install.
7) What is the PemKonnect -M option on the Pemko FM hinge and when should I order it?
The -M suffix gets you the modular version: instead of one long piece, the hinge ships in a 45 inch box as segments you assemble on site. Worth specifying when you are ordering the 95 or 120 inch lengths and freight or shipping damage on a 10 foot carton is a concern, or when the delivery point cannot take a long crate. Assembled performance is the same hinge.
8) Will a continuous hinge help with the gap along the hinge edge of my doors?
It does. Because the FM Series runs the full door height rather than sitting at three points, it closes off the hinge-side gap, which is the practical reason property managers and security integrators spec continuous hinges on tenant and stairwell doors. The same full-length contact distributes the door weight instead of loading individual butts, which is where sagging doors usually start.
9) What finishes does the Pemko FM Series continuous hinge come in?
Two: clear anodized aluminum and dark bronze anodized aluminum, both available in all four stock lengths (83, 85, 95 and 120 inches). The aluminum is anodized after machining, so cut edges from the machining step are covered by the finish rather than left bare.
