Pemko FM-100 7FT C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko FM100 continuous hinge work on a 1-3/4 inch hollow metal door?
Yes. The FM100 full mortise continuous hinge covers door thicknesses from 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, so a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door sits at the bottom of its range. Above 2-1/4 inches you are outside what the FM100 is built for.
2) What is the difference between a full mortise and a full surface continuous hinge, and which do I need?
Full mortise, which is what the Pemko FM100 is, mounts into the edge prep of the door and the rabbet of the frame, so the hinge is hidden and the fasteners are concealed with the door closed. That takes machining and it takes a door and frame in good condition. Full surface mounts to the face of the door and the face of the frame instead, which is what you use on a retrofit where the existing prep is chewed up or the frame will not take a mortise. Design Hardware's FSHD full surface and NGP's HD5700 full surface are the surface-mounted alternatives. Half surface, like the ABH A460HD, mortises to the frame and surface mounts to the door, a middle path when only the door face is workable.
3) Is the Pemko FM100 hinge fire rated?
The FM100 is UL 10C fire tested and carries ANSI/BHMA A156.26 certification, and it is Florida Building Code approved. It is a Grade 2 hinge. Note that UL 10C is the positive pressure fire test standard for door assemblies, so the hinge can go on a rated opening as long as the rest of the assembly and its label allow it.
4) Should I replace failing butt hinges on a heavy commercial door with a continuous hinge?
That is the main reason people specify the FM100. Butt hinges and pivots concentrate the door's weight at two or three points, which is where the screws pull and the door starts to sag and drag. A continuous hinge carries the load down the entire length of the leaf. On a high traffic opening with a 600 lb door, that is the difference between a hinge you adjust every year and one you install once. The trade-off is prep: the full mortise version needs the door edge and frame rabbet machined for it.
5) What are the fire rated continuous hinge options for a 90-minute hollow metal opening?
The Pemko FM100 is UL 10C fire tested and ANSI/BHMA A156.26 certified, with Florida Building Code approval. Among the alternatives, the NGP HD1100A, NGP HD5400A and NGP HD5700 are each 10C fire rated for 90 minutes on hollow metal, and the BEST 663HD and BEST 664HD are heavy duty continuous hinges with a 90-minute UL fire rating, the 663HD built for 3/32" inset doors. Confirm the rating matches the door and frame assembly listed on the drawing, since the hinge rating and the opening rating have to agree.
6) What lengths and finishes does the Pemko FM100 continuous hinge come in?
Two lengths, 7 foot and 8 foot, each in clear anodized aluminum or dark bronze anodized aluminum. The 7 foot covers standard 7'0" openings and the 8 foot suits taller commercial doors. If your building already runs dark bronze storefront or frames, the bronze anodized matches without a paint step.
7) Do I need to buy screws separately for the Pemko FM100 hinge?
No. The FM100 ships with custom 12-24 x 11/16 stainless steel Phillips flat head undercut TEK screws. The TEK point self-drills into hollow metal, so you are not pre-drilling and tapping the full length of the hinge on site.
8) Is a continuous hinge more secure than butt hinges on an out-swinging exterior door?
On the FM100 the fasteners are concealed when the door is closed, so there is nothing to attack from outside on an out-swinging opening, and there is no removable pin the way a butt hinge has. The continuous leaf also leaves no gap at the hinge edge to pry into. That is the reason continuous hinges get specified on exterior and secured openings rather than just heavy ones.
9) What steel or stainless continuous hinge can I use instead of an aluminum one?
The FM100 is extruded aluminum. Where an aluminum geared hinge is not what you want, the BEST 641 is a steel full mortise continuous hinge with hospital tips, and the BEST 651 is the stainless steel full mortise version, both medium duty. Hospital tips matter on healthcare and behavioral openings because there is no square corner at the top and bottom to catch on a gown, a sleeve, or a ligature.
10) My doors are 8 feet tall. Do I order one 8 foot continuous hinge or cut a shorter one?
Order the 8 foot FM100 rather than cutting down a shorter hinge. Continuous hinges are made to specific lengths so the barrel, the bearings and the fastener spacing land correctly against the door, and a field-cut hinge loses that. The FM100 is offered in 7 foot and 8 foot in both clear and dark bronze anodized aluminum, so an 8 foot opening is covered as a stock length.
11) Can I standardize one continuous hinge across an office building's stairwell, entrance and tenant doors?
For openings up to 600 lbs and up to 4'0" wide with 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch leaves, the FM100 covers the range, and it is listed for commercial office, education, healthcare, retail, industrial, multi-tenant residential and government use. Two things break standardization: openings wider than 4'0", and doors where the frame or edge will not take a full mortise prep, which is common on retrofits. Those move to a surface-mounted hinge instead.
12) Is a steel continuous hinge like the BEST 641 the same thing as the Pemko FM100?
They hang a door the same way but they are not the same product. The BEST 641 is a steel full mortise continuous hinge with hospital tips at a medium duty level, and the BEST 651 is the stainless steel version, also full mortise with hospital tips and medium duty. The Pemko FM100 is an extruded aluminum pin and barrel hinge carrying a Grade 2 rating, rated to 600 lbs and 4'0" door width. The BEST pair are steel and stainless with hospital tip ends; the FM100 is aluminum with concealed fasteners when the door is closed. Specify by substrate and duty level, not by assuming a continuous hinge is a continuous hinge.
13) Which continuous hinge should be specified for a hospital or behavioral health corridor door?
Two directions matter there. For anti-ligature and pinch protection, the ABH A135HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge built around a safety design. For a smooth end condition on a patient corridor, the BEST 641 and BEST 651 are full mortise continuous hinges with hospital tips, in steel and stainless steel respectively, both at medium duty. The Pemko FM100 is a standard full mortise pin and barrel profile in aluminum, so choose it where the requirement is load and full-height weight distribution rather than a specific safety or tip geometry.
14) What continuous hinge fits an 83 inch door rather than a 7 or 8 foot leaf?
The Pemko FM100 comes in 7' and 8' lengths in clear anodized or dark bronze anodized aluminum. If the opening calls for an 83" hinge instead, the NGP HD1100A is an 83" concealed geared hinge, the NGP HD5400A is an 83" half surface geared hinge in aluminum alloy, and the NGP HD5700 is an 83" full surface geared hinge with 1/16" door inset for 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" doors. Pick the mounting style first, then the length, since a mortise hinge and a surface hinge are not interchangeable once the door is prepped.
15) Can a concealed continuous hinge be used where the fasteners must not be visible?
The Pemko FM100 is an edge-mounted full mortise hinge with fasteners concealed when the door is closed, which is what keeps it tamper resistant and gives it a clean look on the closed opening. The NGP HD1100A is the concealed geared alternative, an 83" heavy-duty unit that is 10C fire rated for 90 minutes on hollow metal. Both hide the hardware on the closed door; the difference is barrel construction versus gear construction and the mortise prep each one needs.
16) Does the Pemko FM100 continuous hinge come handed, or does one part work on left and right doors?
Continuous hinges of this type are non-handed as a unit; you orient the hinge for a left or right hand door at install rather than ordering a hand. What you do need to get right on the FM100 is the mounting type and the length, because a full mortise hinge has to match the machining in the door edge and the frame rabbet, and the 7 foot and 8 foot lengths are not interchangeable.
