Pemko FS-301 6FT 8IN SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the 1/8 inch offset on the Pemko FS301 hinge for?
The offset moves the door out from the frame by 1/8 inch, which gives you room to work with weatherstripping and sound seals rather than crushing them. It also means the FS301 is the hinge to reach for on openings with very tight clearances, including fire labeled doors, where a standard butt hinge or a flush continuous hinge won't fit the gap you have.
2) Is the Markar FS301 hinge fire rated, and for how long?
Fire ratings up to and including 3 hours, on both fire labeled and non-labeled doors. It is UL 10C certified, carries a Warnock Hersey listing, and complies with ANSI/BHMA A156.26. That 3 hour ceiling is longer than most continuous hinges carry, which matters on stair enclosures and shaft openings where a 90 minute hinge won't cover the assembly.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand FS301 continuous hinge?
Neither. The FS301 is non-handed, so one part covers both hands of door. It mounts full surface, meaning it screws onto the face of the door and the face of the frame with no mortising, and it swings to 180 degrees.
4) What lengths does the Pemko FS301 hinge come in for a 7 foot door?
Stock lengths are 6 feet 8 inches, 7 feet, 7 feet 2 inches, 8 feet, and 10 feet, all in satin stainless steel. For a standard 7 foot opening you'd take the 7 foot hinge. Custom lengths are made for openings that don't land on a stock size.
5) Can I use a continuous hinge to repair a door that has torn out its butt hinges?
That is a main use for the FS301. Because it mounts full surface across the whole height of the opening, it spreads the door load along the full edge instead of concentrating it at three or four hinge points, so it covers over damaged hinge prep on the door and frame. The 1/8 inch offset lets it go on where clearances are too tight for other repair hinges, and it works on fire labeled doors as well as non-labeled ones.
6) I need a 3 hour rated continuous hinge, will a 90 minute hinge work instead?
Not on a 3 hour assembly. The FS301 is rated up to and including 3 hours under UL 10C. Several continuous hinges ZenSupply carries stop at 90 minutes, including the BEST 664HD full surface geared hinge and the NGP HD5700 full surface hinge, which is 10C rated 90 minutes on hollow metal. Those are fine on a 90 minute corridor or stair door, but they will not cover a 3 hour opening.
7) What is the closest equivalent to a Pemko Markar FS301 continuous hinge from another brand?
The nearest match in function is the Design Hardware FSOHD, a full surface offset heavy duty continuous geared hinge - it shares both the full surface mounting method and the offset geometry that the FS301 gets from its built-in 1/8 inch offset. The difference is in the mechanism: the FS301 is a pin and barrel hinge in 304 stainless steel, while the FSOHD is a geared hinge. For an opening where the offset is there to help a weather seal or sound barrier close up, either geometry works; where you are specifically repairing a fire labeled door with very tight clearances, the FS301 is the one built for that job at fire ratings up to 3 hours.
8) I need a full surface continuous hinge but the door has no offset - what should I use instead?
Look at the Design Hardware FSHD, a full surface heavy duty continuous geared hinge without the offset in its geometry, or the BEST 664HD, a heavy duty full surface continuous geared hinge carrying a 90 minute UL fire rating. The Pemko Markar FS301 carries a built-in 1/8 inch offset that assists weather seal and sound barrier applications; on an opening that does not want that offset stacked into the clearance, a straight full surface hinge is the cleaner fit. If the door is fire labeled, check the label duration - the FS301 covers up to and including 3 hours, while the 664HD is rated at 90 minutes.
9) The door frame is prepped for a mortised continuous hinge - can I use the FS301?
No. The Pemko Markar FS301 is a full surface hinge, meaning it mounts to the face of the door and frame rather than into a mortise. For a mortise prep, the full mortise options are the Design Hardware FMHD heavy duty continuous geared hinge, the ABH A120HD heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge with Easy Install Technology, or the BEST 651 stainless steel full mortise continuous hinge with hospital tips. The FS301 stays the right answer when the existing door and frame edges are chewed up or clearances are too tight to cut a mortise, which is the repair case it was designed around.
10) My fire door label calls for a 3 hour assembly - which continuous hinges cover that?
The Pemko Markar FS301 is the one to specify: fire ratings up to and including 3 hours, UL 10C certified with a Warnock Hersey listing and ANSI/BHMA A156.26 compliance. Among the alternatives, the BEST 664HD full surface and BEST 663HD hinges carry a 90 minute UL fire rating, and the NGP HD5700 full surface, NGP HD5400A half surface and NGP HD1100A concealed hinges are 10C fire rated at 90 minutes on hollow metal. Those cover a 90 minute label; a 3 hour opening needs the FS301.
11) The doors on this job are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - does the FS301 still apply?
No. The Pemko Markar FS301 accommodates door thicknesses of 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker leaf, the NGP HD5700 full surface continuous geared hinge is built with a 1/16 inch door inset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and is 10C fire rated 90 minute on hollow metal. Confirm the label duration on the opening before swapping, since the two hinges carry different fire ratings.
12) Pin and barrel vs geared continuous hinge, which should I use?
The FS301 is a pin and barrel hinge: a knuckle and pin construction in 304 stainless with stainless end pins, so it reads like a traditional hinge and holds up in wet or corrosive locations. Geared continuous hinges are the aluminum alternative, and ZenSupply carries those from ABH and Design Hardware, including the Design Hardware Full Surface Offset heavy duty geared hinge if you want the same offset mounting in a geared product. Choose pin and barrel where corrosion resistance and a stainless look matter; choose geared aluminum where you want the gear channel and cover.
13) Will the FS301 continuous hinge rust on an exterior or washdown door?
The hinge material is 304 stainless steel and the end pins are stainless as well, so it holds up on exterior openings, kitchens, and washdown areas better than a plated steel hinge. The fastener covers are extruded aluminum.
14) Are the screws visible on the Pemko FS301 hinge, and can they be tampered with?
They're covered. The hinge uses TORX-TEKS fasteners, part M91-0003, and extruded aluminum covers snap over them once the hinge is set. That hides the fastener line and keeps the screws out of reach from the exposed side, which is why it gets used on tenant and corridor doors.
15) What is the difference between a full surface and a full mortise continuous hinge?
Full surface, like the FS301, screws onto the face of the door and the face of the frame, so nothing has to be routed and it goes over existing damaged prep. Full mortise sits in a cut edge and frame rebate and disappears when the door is closed, which is the cleaner look on new work. ZenSupply carries full mortise geared options such as the ABH A120HD and the Design Hardware Full Mortise heavy duty geared hinge if the opening is new and you want the hinge concealed.
16) Is the FS301 heavy enough for a high traffic commercial door?
It's a Grade 1 hinge, the top ANSI/BHMA performance tier, tested to A156.26 for continuous hinges. Weight rating is standard weight, so it suits normal commercial doors under heavy use. For an unusually heavy leaf, such as a thick lead-lined or oversize door, look at a heavy duty geared hinge like the ABH A460HD instead.
17) Does the FS301 hinge need any special door or frame prep before install?
No routing or mortising. Being a full surface hinge, it fastens to the door face and frame face with the supplied TORX-TEKS fasteners, then the aluminum covers go on over them. That's why it is used as a repair hinge: the existing butt hinge cutouts stay where they are and the continuous hinge mounts over the face instead.
18) Is there a lighter duty continuous hinge for a low traffic door instead of the FS301?
For an interior door that does not see heavy cycling, the BEST 641 steel full mortise continuous hinge and the BEST 651 stainless steel full mortise continuous hinge are both medium duty and both come with hospital tips. The Pemko Markar FS301 is Grade 1 with 304 stainless steel construction and stainless steel end pins, built for high traffic commercial and institutional openings. Note the trade in install method as well - the 641 and 651 are full mortise, so the frame has to be prepped, while the FS301 mounts to the surface.
19) I do not want the hinge visible on the face of the door - what is the alternative to the FS301?
The NGP HD1100A is a concealed continuous geared hinge, 83 inches, heavy duty, and 10C fire rated 90 minute on hollow metal - it sits within the door and frame instead of on the face. The Pemko Markar FS301 is a full surface hinge, though its TORX-TEKS fasteners are concealed under extruded aluminum covers, so the fastener heads are not exposed even though the hinge body is. Where the appearance requirement is that no hinge shows at all, the concealed HD1100A is the design to look at; where the requirement is a clean tamper resistant face on an existing door, the FS301 handles it without a mortise.
20) Which continuous hinge should I use if the concern is fingers getting caught at the hinge edge?
The ABH A135HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge with a safety design, which is the one to look at when pinch protection at the hinge edge drives the selection - schools and daycare openings typically. The Pemko Markar FS301 is selected for a different problem: repairing fire labeled and non-labeled doors with very tight clearances, at fire ratings up to and including 3 hours. On an educational facility opening where both concerns land on the same door, the fire label on the frame decides which one you can use.
21) We are standardizing continuous hinges across a facility - what separates the stainless options from the aluminum geared ones?
The Pemko Markar FS301 is a pin and barrel design in 304 stainless steel with stainless steel end pins, non-handed, 180 degree maximum swing, offered in satin stainless steel from 6 feet 8 inches through 10 feet. Among the geared alternatives, the ABH A120HD full mortise, A135HD, A210HD full surface swing clear and A460HD half surface are aluminum continuous gear hinges, and the NGP HD5400A is aluminum alloy. In BEST's line the 641 is steel and the 651 is stainless steel, both full mortise with hospital tips. Standardizing usually comes down to picking one mounting method across the openings first - full surface, half surface, full mortise or concealed - then holding the material constant within it.
