Pemko CFS83CP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I replace butt hinges with a Pemko FS-CP continuous hinge without modifying the frame?
That's exactly what the FS-CP is built for. It's a full surface hinge, meaning it applies to the exposed faces of the door and frame rather than into a mortise, so worn butt hinges come off and the continuous hinge goes on with no frame adjustment. Mounting is with Teks self-drilling screws or thru bolts, and you need 1/16 inch minimum hinge clearance at the opening.
2) Will the Pemko FS-CP fit a 1-3/4 inch thick door?
Yes. The FS-CP handles doors up to 1-3/4 inches thick and up to 4 feet wide. Anything thicker than 1-3/4, or a leaf wider than 4 feet, is outside what this hinge covers and you need a different model.
3) Is the Pemko FS-CP continuous hinge fire rated?
UL 10C certified and ANSI/BHMA A156.26 certified, so it's usable on fire door assemblies where those listings are called out. Grade 1.
4) Do I have to specify left or right hand when ordering the Pemko FS-CP?
No handing to specify. The FS-CP is non handed, so the same part covers left and right hand openings. You pick length and finish only: 83, 85, 95 or 120 inches, in Clear Anodized Aluminum or Dark Bronze Anodized Aluminum.
5) Full surface or full mortise continuous hinge, which one do I want?
Full surface, like the Pemko FS-CP, mounts on the exposed faces of door and frame. That's the retrofit choice, because it covers up old butt hinge prep instead of requiring a new one. Full mortise sets into the edge of the door and the frame rabbet, so it's the cleaner look but it needs the opening prepped for it, which usually means new construction or a door and frame you're replacing anyway. If you want mortise instead, ZenSupply carries the Design Hardware Full Mortise heavy duty geared hinge and the BEST 641 steel full mortise continuous hinge.
6) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what full surface continuous hinge covers that?
The NGP HD5700 is an 83 inch full surface continuous geared hinge with a 1/16 inch door inset built for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and it is 10C fire rated 90 minutes on hollow metal. That range is the one to specify when the leaf is heavier than what the Pemko FS-CP covers, since the FS-CP is built for doors up to 1-3/4 inch thick and 4 feet wide.
7) What is the closest full surface continuous geared hinge to the Pemko FS-CP if I need a heavier duty rating?
The Design Hardware FSHD is a full surface continuous geared hinge carrying a heavy duty rating, and the BEST 664HD is a full surface continuous geared hinge with a 90-minute UL fire rating, also heavy duty. Both mount to the exposed faces of the door and frame the same way the Pemko FS-CP does, so they fit the same retrofit situation where you are replacing butt hinges without cutting the frame. The FS-CP itself is a Grade 1 aluminum hinge for doors up to 1-3/4 inch thick and 4 feet wide with a 180-degree swing.
8) The frame on my opening can be mortised - what continuous geared hinge should I use instead of a full surface one?
A full mortise hinge is the alternative when the door and frame can be prepped. The Design Hardware FMHD is a full mortise heavy duty continuous geared hinge, the ABH A120HD is a full mortise heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge with Easy Install Technology, and the BEST 641 is a steel full mortise continuous hinge with hospital tips at a medium duty level. The Pemko FS-CP is the choice in the opposite case: it applies to the exposed surfaces of the door and frame so butt hinges can be replaced with no frame adjustments.
9) Is a half surface continuous geared hinge the same thing as the Pemko FS-CP?
No. Half surface hinges mount to the face of the door but mortise into the frame, so the frame still has to be prepped. The ABH A460HD is a half surface heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge rated to 450 lbs, and the NGP HD5400A is an 83 inch half surface continuous geared hinge in aluminum alloy, 10C fire rated 90 minutes on hollow metal. The Pemko FS-CP is full surface, applied to the exposed surfaces of both door and frame with no frame adjustments necessary, which is why it is the retrofit answer when the existing frame cannot be cut.
10) I need the door to swing clear of the opening for wheelchair or gurney passage - will the Pemko FS-CP do that?
The FS-CP is a full surface center pivot hinge with a 180-degree maximum swing, but it does not move the door leaf out of the clear opening. For that, the ABH A210HD is a full surface swing clear heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge rated to 450 lbs; swing clear geometry carries the door away from the opening so the full frame width is usable, which is the usual requirement in healthcare corridors and ADA-driven clear width calculations.
11) Will the FS-CP let a door swing a full 180 degrees back against the wall?
Yes, 180 degrees is the maximum swing on the FS-CP center pivot geared hinge. That matters on openings where the leaf has to lay back flat, like a corridor or a stair door held open on a magnet.
12) What is the difference between the Pemko FS-CP and a swing clear continuous hinge?
The FS-CP is a center pivot full surface hinge, so the door swings on the hinge line and the leaf still occupies part of the opening when open. A swing clear hinge instead carries the door out of the clear width, which is what you want in healthcare or accessible corridors where a gurney or wheelchair needs the full stated opening width. ABH's A210HD is the full surface swing clear option ZenSupply stocks, rated 450 lbs capacity.
13) What continuous hinge should I look at for a facility where finger pinch at the hinge edge is a concern?
The ABH A135HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge built with a safety design, which is the one to specify where the hinge edge gap is a concern, such as schools and daycare areas. The Pemko FS-CP is the standard full surface geared hinge for retrofit work and carries UL 10C and ANSI/BHMA A156.26 certification for fire door openings, but it is not a safety-edge product.
14) Which continuous hinges are stainless or steel rather than aluminum for a wash-down or high-abuse opening?
The BEST 651 is a stainless steel full mortise continuous hinge with hospital tips for heavy-duty commercial applications, at a medium duty level, and the BEST 641 is the steel full mortise version with hospital tips, also medium duty. Both are full mortise, so the frame gets prepped. The Pemko FS-CP is aluminum and comes in clear anodized and dark bronze anodized finishes.
15) I want the hinge hidden when the door is closed - what is the alternative to a surface applied continuous hinge?
The NGP HD1100A is a concealed continuous geared hinge in an 83 inch length, 10C fire rated 90 minutes on hollow metal, and it hides the hinge from view when the door is closed. It is a Grade 3 hinge. The Pemko FS-CP is Grade 1 and mounts on the exposed surfaces of the door and frame, so the hinge is visible but no frame preparation is required.
16) My opening has an offset or reveal condition at the frame - is there a full surface hinge made for that?
The Design Hardware FSOHD is a full surface offset heavy duty continuous geared hinge, made for openings where the door face and frame face do not sit flush. The standard non-offset counterpart is the Design Hardware FSHD, also full surface heavy duty. The Pemko FS-CP is a non-offset full surface center pivot hinge applied to the exposed surfaces of the door and frame.
17) For a fire door with a 3/32 inch inset, what continuous hinge is specified instead of the Pemko FS-CP?
The BEST 663HD is a heavy duty continuous hinge built specifically for 3/32 inch inset doors and carries a 90-minute UL fire rating. Inset dimension has to match the gap the door was hung with, so it is checked before the hinge is ordered. The Pemko FS-CP is UL 10C and ANSI/BHMA A156.26 certified for fire door applications and installs with 1/16 inch minimum hinge clearance.
18) I am standardizing continuous hinges across a building with a mix of mortised and non-mortised frames - can I stay with one brand family?
Design Hardware covers the three common mounting conditions in one heavy duty geared line: FMHD full mortise, FSHD full surface, and FSOHD full surface offset. ABH covers a similar spread with the A120HD full mortise, A460HD half surface, and A210HD full surface swing clear. The Pemko FS-CP handles the full surface retrofit condition in Grade 1 aluminum, in clear anodized and dark bronze anodized, with lengths from 79 inches to 10 feet and custom lengths available.
19) Can I standardize on one hinge across a building with different door finishes?
For the aluminum and bronze storefront and interior openings, yes. The FS-CP comes in Clear Anodized Aluminum and Dark Bronze Anodized Aluminum, non handed, in 83, 85, 95 and 120 inch lengths, and it's field cuttable, so one hinge covers left and right hand doors of varying heights across a portfolio. Both finishes are stocked in all four lengths.
20) Do I need to order a continuous hinge for a steel door, or will an aluminum one work?
The FS-CP is aluminum, Grade 1, UL 10C and A156.26 certified, and full surface mounting means it lands on the face of the door and frame rather than in the edge, so the door substrate underneath is not what carries it. Fastening is with Teks self-drilling screws or thru bolts. If your spec calls for a steel or stainless hinge body specifically, BEST's 641 is steel full mortise and the 651 is stainless steel full mortise.
