Pemko FM-200 7FT 603 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko Markar FM200 continuous hinge work on a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The FM200 full mortise continuous hinge covers door thickness from 1-3/4 inches through 2-1/4 inches, so a 2 inch leaf sits right in the middle of the range. That upper end matters on lead-lined and acoustic doors, where a standard 1-3/4 inch only hinge won't work. Below 1-3/4 inches you're outside what the FM200 is built for.
2) Can a continuous hinge be used on a fire rated door opening?
The FM200 full mortise continuous hinge is approved for both fire labeled and non-labeled openings, and it carries UL 10C certification for positive pressure fire tests. It also meets ANSI/BHMA A156.26 and is Grade 1. That combination is what a facilities or institutional spec usually asks for on a rated corridor or stair door.
3) Do I need special door and frame prep to install a Pemko FM200 continuous hinge?
No special prep. The FM200 uses a symmetrically templated hole pattern and installs without the special door and frame preparation charges a custom hinge prep would bring. The screws come with it: custom 12-24 x 11/16 stainless Phillips flat head undercut TEK screws, concealed once the door is shut. On a retrofit that means you are drilling and tapping to template, not ordering a new frame.
4) I need the full door opening width for equipment or a wheelchair - which continuous hinge gives me that instead of the FM200?
That calls for a swing clear hinge, which carries the door clear of the frame opening when it swings. The ABH A210HD is a full surface swing clear heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge rated 450 lbs. The FM200 is a standard full mortise hinge with a 180 degree swing range and does not clear the door out of the opening, so on a healthcare corridor or an equipment room where every inch of clear width matters, the swing clear geometry is the functional difference. Note the A210HD mounts full surface, so the frame and door faces have to accept a surface applied leaf.
5) What is the closest full mortise continuous hinge equivalent to the Pemko Markar FM200?
The Design Hardware FMHD is the nearest match in mounting and duty: it is a full mortise heavy duty continuous geared hinge, the same mounting condition as the FM200, which is a full mortise continuous pin and barrel hinge rated Grade 1 for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The difference is in the hinge mechanism itself. The FM200 uses a pin and barrel knuckle with a nylon bearing at each separation, while the FMHD is a geared hinge with a continuous gear running the length of the leaf. Both mortise into the door and frame edge, so the frame prep decision is the same; the choice is between a knuckle style and a geared style. The ABH A120HD is the other full mortise option, an aluminum continuous gear hinge in the A120HD Series.
6) Which continuous hinge should I use on a fire rated opening if I am not using the Pemko FM200?
The FM200 carries UL 10C certification for positive pressure fire tests and can be used on both fire labeled and non-labeled openings. Among the alternatives, the BEST 663HD is a heavy duty continuous hinge with a 90 minute UL fire rating built for 3/32 inch inset doors, and the BEST 664HD is the full surface geared version with the same 90 minute UL fire rating. The NGP HD1100A, HD5400A and HD5700 are all listed 10C fire rated 90 minute on hollow metal, so on a hollow metal frame those carry the label; the HD1100A is a concealed geared hinge and the HD5700 is full surface. Confirm the label on the door and frame matches the rating you are specifying.
7) My door has a 3/32 inch inset - does the Pemko FM200 work or do I need something else?
Inset is what decides this. 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. The NGP HD5700 is built for a 1/16 inch door inset. The inset is the gap between the door edge and the frame rabbet, and a hinge cut for one inset will not hang correctly on the other, so measure the existing gap at the hinge edge before ordering. The FM200 is specified by door thickness, 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and mounts full mortise with a symmetrically templated hole pattern.
8) I am standardizing continuous hinges across a facility and need a Grade 1 hinge - which ones qualify?
The FM200 carries a Grade 1 rating, which is the level typically called out for high traffic openings in schools, hospitals, government buildings and multi-tenant residential. Among the geared alternatives, the Design Hardware FMHD, FSHD and FSOHD are all listed heavy duty, as are the BEST 663HD and 664HD, and the ABH A460HD, A120HD, A135HD and A210HD are described as heavy duty. The NGP HD1100A is listed Grade 3. If your facility standard is written to a specific BHMA grade rather than a duty description, verify the grade on each model before you set the standard, and keep the mounting condition consistent so the door and frame prep is the same across the building.
9) What is the difference between a full mortise continuous hinge and a full surface one?
Full mortise, like the FM200, is edge mounted: the hinge sits in the mortise between the door edge and the frame rabbet, and the fasteners are concealed when the door is closed. That is the clean looking option and the one to use on new or in good condition hollow metal frames. Full surface mounts on the face of the door and frame instead, which is what you want when the door edge or frame rabbet is chewed up from an old repair and won't take a mortise cleanly. For that case ZenSupply carries the Design Hardware FSHD full surface heavy duty geared hinge and the BEST 664HD full surface geared hinge.
10) Will a continuous hinge stop my commercial door from sagging and dragging?
That is the main reason to move off butt hinges. The FM200 runs the full height of the door edge and distributes the leaf weight along the whole hinge instead of at three points, which is why it is specified for high traffic, high frequency openings in schools, hospitals, and retail entrances. It is rated to 600 lbs and Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.26. On an opening where the top butt hinge keeps pulling its screws out of the frame, this is the fix.
11) Which continuous hinge is stainless steel instead of the Pemko FM200?
The BEST 651 is a stainless steel full mortise continuous hinge with hospital tips, listed medium duty, and it is the stainless option in the same full mortise mounting condition as the FM200. The BEST 641 is the steel version of that same full mortise hinge. The FM200 is described with carbon steel construction, and the ABH gear hinges, the A460HD, A120HD, A135HD and A210HD, are aluminum. For a kitchen, a pool enclosure, a coastal exterior or a washdown area where corrosion drives the specification, stainless is the material distinction; on a dry interior opening the material choice has less bearing than the duty rating and the mounting.
12) Is a geared continuous hinge the same thing as the Pemko FM200 pin and barrel hinge?
They are both continuous hinges running the height of the door, but the mechanism is not the same. The FM200 is a continuous pin and barrel hinge, a series of knuckles with a nylon bearing at each separation for self-lubricating operation through a 180 degree swing. A geared hinge instead uses interlocking gear teeth along two leaves with a cap covering them; the Design Hardware FMHD, the ABH A120HD and the BEST 664HD are all geared. Full mortise geared hinges such as the FMHD and the A120HD occupy the same mounting position as the FM200, but the leaf profile and the fastener pattern differ, so a geared hinge is not a drop-in into an existing pin and barrel prep. Treat them as separate specifications and verify the template for the hinge you order.
13) Is there a lighter duty continuous hinge than the Pemko FM200 for a low traffic door?
The BEST 641 is a steel full mortise standard duty continuous hinge with hospital tips, listed as medium duty, and the BEST 651 is the stainless steel full mortise version with hospital tips, also listed as medium duty. Both mount full mortise, the same condition as the FM200, so the door and frame prep concept carries over. The FM200 is built for high traffic, high frequency use doors at 600 lbs capacity with Grade 1 BHMA certification and a maximum door width of 4 feet. For an interior office or closet door that does not see that cycle count, a medium duty hinge is the lighter specification; for an entry or stairwell that swings all day, stay with the Grade 1 heavy duty hinge.
14) What continuous hinge hides the hinge from view better than the Pemko FM200?
The NGP HD1100A is a concealed continuous geared hinge, 83 inches, heavy duty, which puts the hinge out of sight when the door is closed rather than showing a barrel. The FM200 conceals its fasteners when the door is closed and mounts full mortise between the door and frame edges, so the pin and barrel knuckle remains visible along the hinge edge. On a glass front lobby or an architectural opening where the visible line matters, the concealed geared hinge is the different look. Confirm the grade requirement for your opening first: the FM200 is Grade 1, and the HD1100A is listed Grade 3.
15) Which continuous hinges besides the Pemko FM200 fit a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door?
The FM200 accommodates door thickness from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The NGP HD5700 states the same range, 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, in an 83 inch full surface continuous geared hinge with a 1/16 inch door inset. That makes it the direct thickness match when the door itself is unchanged and only the hinge is being replaced, with the caveat that the HD5700 mounts full surface and the FM200 mounts full mortise, so the two do not use the same prep. Measure the actual door slab rather than assuming a nominal thickness before ordering either one.
16) Which continuous hinge comes closer to a full 8 foot door leaf?
The FM200 comes in 7 foot and 8 foot sizes, so an 8 foot tall door leaf is covered by a single hinge with no filler. Several of the geared alternatives are built around an 83 inch length, which is just under 7 feet: the NGP HD1100A, the NGP HD5400A and the NGP HD5700 are all 83 inch hinges. On a standard 7 foot opening that length is the conventional fit, but on a tall door in a warehouse, gymnasium or institutional corridor, measure the leaf height first and specify the hinge length against it rather than assuming the standard size reaches.
