Pemko DFS95 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Pemko FS continuous geared hinge work on an existing hollow metal door without adding hinge reinforcements?
That's exactly what the FS full surface hinge is built around. It mounts to the exposed faces of the door and frame, so it doesn't need the special hinge reinforcements a mortised continuous hinge or butt hinge prep requires, and it works with standard hollow metal door and frame manufacturer specs. Fasteners come in the box: 12-24 x 11/16 inch pan head self-drilling screws for the frame and 12-24 x 7/16 inch FHUC threadforming screws for the door. Wood screws are available on request if the door is wood.
2) Can I use this Pemko continuous hinge on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes, up to a 3-hour A-Label under UL10C, on approved hollow metal and wood door assemblies in drywall or masonry construction. One condition decides it: firepins are required for 3-hour fire rated doors, so they have to be part of the order and the install for that rating to hold. Assembly size limits are 4 ft 0 in x 10 ft 0 in for a single and 8 ft 0 in x 10 ft 0 in for a pair.
3) Is a full surface continuous hinge or a concealed continuous hinge the right choice for a retrofit?
Full surface is the retrofit answer. Because it screws to the outside faces of the door and frame, you don't have to machine the door edge or add frame reinforcement, which is what makes it workable on an opening that's already hung and already failing on worn butt hinges. Concealed and half surface types mount into the hinge edge and generally need prep or reinforcement that a retrofit opening doesn't have. The trade-off is appearance: a full surface hinge is visible on the face of the door, projecting 15/16 inch, so on an opening where the hardware has to disappear a concealed type is the better call.
4) Is the Pemko FS hinge rated for a high traffic commercial opening like a school or hospital corridor?
It's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.26-2017, Grade 1-300, which is the top grade in the continuous hinge standard, and it's a commercial-only product. This is the standard duty version of the FS with 6 inch bearing spacing in anodized aluminum. For the heaviest doors, closer bearing spacing in a heavy duty continuous geared hinge is the step up. Facilities where the standard duty FS is used include offices, schools, healthcare, retail, industrial and warehouse buildings, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings.
5) How much does a Pemko full surface continuous hinge stick out from the door face?
The hinge measures 15/16 inch in height, and being a full surface type it sits on the door and frame faces rather than in the hinge edge. That matters where a door swings back to a wall or an adjacent frame, or where a wall-mounted stop or an overlapping surface closer arm is already in place. Check the swing clearance on the hinge side before committing to full surface on a tight opening.
6) Does a continuous geared hinge fix a commercial door that is sagging and dragging on the threshold?
That's the usual reason people move to one. A continuous geared hinge carries the load along the full height of the door instead of concentrating it at three or four butt hinge points, which is what tears out hinge screws and lets a heavy door drop. The FS version installs on the existing hollow metal opening without new reinforcement, so it goes on a door that's already hung and already worn. It's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.26-2017, Grade 1-300.
7) Do I need to specify handing when ordering a Pemko FS continuous geared hinge?
What you specify is length and finish: 83 inch or 95 inch, clear anodized aluminum or dark bronze anodized aluminum. On a 3-hour fire rated door, firepins have to be on the order too, since they are required for that rating. Mounting screws are already included, both the frame and door sets.
8) What finishes does the Pemko FS continuous hinge come in, and will it match the rest of my door hardware?
Two: clear anodized aluminum and dark bronze anodized aluminum, and both are offered in each of the 83 inch and 95 inch lengths. Clear anodized reads as a satin aluminum and pairs with aluminum storefront and 628-type hardware; dark bronze pairs with dark bronze storefront and 313-family hardware. If the rest of the building is brass or stainless, neither anodized option will match and you want a different hinge family.
