Pemko FS-302 6FT 8IN SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko Markar FS302 continuous hinge work on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The FS302 full surface pin and barrel hinge is UL 10C listed for positive pressure fire tests with fire ratings up to and including 3 hours, and it also carries a Warnock Hersey listing. It can go on fire labeled or non-labeled openings, so you can standardize one hinge across a building. Most competing continuous geared hinges top out at 90 minutes, which is why the FS302 gets specified on stair and shaft doors.
2) Does a full surface continuous hinge like the FS302 require mortising the door and frame?
No. Full surface means the hinge mounts to the face of the door and the face of the frame, so there is no routing or mortise prep. That makes the FS302 a practical choice for retrofitting an existing opening where the butt hinge pockets are worn out or the door edge is damaged. If your door and frame are already prepped for a mortised hinge and you want the hinge hidden in the gap, a full mortise product such as the BEST 651 stainless steel continuous hinge or the Design Hardware FMHD full mortise geared hinge is the type to look at instead.
3) Does the Pemko FS302 continuous hinge meet ANSI/BHMA standards for a Grade 1 spec?
Yes. It is a Grade 1 hinge compliant with ANSI/BHMA A156.26, which is the standard covering continuous hinges. For an institutional submittal it also carries the UL 10C listing for positive pressure fire tests and a Warnock Hersey listing. That combination is usually what an architect's door hardware schedule is asking for on a fire rated opening.
4) What is the closest full surface continuous hinge to the Pemko FS302 if a 3-hour fire rating is not required?
The FS302 is a full surface continuous pin and barrel hinge in 304 stainless steel, UL 10C listed for fire ratings up to and including 3 hours. If the opening only needs a 90-minute label, the BEST 664HD is a heavy duty full surface continuous geared hinge with a 90-minute UL fire rating, and the NGP HD5700 is an 83 inch full surface continuous geared hinge, 10C fire rated 90 minute on hollow metal, with a 1/16 inch door inset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. The mechanism differs: the FS302 is pin and barrel, while those two are geared.
5) The frame face will not take a surface-mounted hinge leaf - what continuous hinge should I use instead of the Pemko FS302?
The FS302 mounts full surface, with both leaves applied to the door and frame faces and concealed TORX-TEKS fasteners under extruded aluminum covers. For an opening that has to be mortised instead, the BEST 651 is a stainless steel full mortise continuous hinge with hospital tips, the ABH A120HD is a full mortise heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge with Easy Install Technology, and the Design Hardware FMHD is a heavy duty full mortise continuous geared hinge. A mortise hinge requires edge prep on the door and frame that a full surface hinge does not.
6) Is the NGP HD1100A a substitute for the Pemko FS302 on a fire door?
They are not interchangeable. The FS302 is a Grade 1 full surface hinge UL 10C listed for fire ratings up to and including 3 hours, with ANSI/BHMA A156.26 compliance. The NGP HD1100A is a concealed continuous geared hinge, 83 inches, listed as Grade 3 and 10C fire rated 90 minute on hollow metal. The HD1100A is concealed rather than surface applied and carries a shorter fire rating, so it does not cover a 3-hour assembly or a Grade 1 specification.
7) Does the Pemko FS302 fit a 3/32 inch inset door, or do I need a different hinge?
The FS302 is built for flush doors with very tight clearances and a minimum 1/8 inch hinge clearance at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Where the door is set into the frame, the BEST 663HD is a heavy duty continuous hinge specified for 3/32 inch inset doors with a 90 minute UL fire rating, and the NGP HD5700 is a full surface geared hinge with a 1/16 inch door inset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Confirm the actual inset at the opening before ordering either.
8) Is the Pemko FS302 a geared hinge or a pin and barrel hinge, and does it matter?
It is a pin and barrel design, not a geared hinge. The knuckles run continuously down the door edge and the load is carried on a full length pin rather than interlocking gear leaves wrapped in an aluminum channel. Practically, the pin and barrel style suits flush doors with very tight clearances and it swings a full 180 degrees. Most of the alternatives in this category, including the ABH A120HD and the Design Hardware FSHD, are geared hinges.
9) What are the FS302 continuous hinge and its covers made of?
The hinge itself is 304 stainless steel, with extruded aluminum covers over the fastener line. Stainless holds up in wet, coastal and washdown environments better than plated steel, and the aluminum covers conceal the fasteners when the door is closed while keeping the joint weather tight. Finish offered is satin stainless steel.
10) Do I need to order fasteners separately for the Pemko FS302 hinge?
The FS302 mounts with concealed TORX-TEKS fasteners, catalogued by Pemko as M91-0003. That is the fastener set to reference when you are pricing the job or replacing hardware pulled during a retrofit. The heads sit under the extruded aluminum covers, so nothing is exposed when the door is closed.
11) Can I use the Pemko FS302 on a door that has to swing fully clear of the opening for a gurney or wheelchair?
No. The FS302 is a standard full surface continuous hinge with 180 degree swing, but it does not throw the door clear of the frame. For a swing clear condition, which is common on healthcare corridors where the full clear width has to be preserved, look at a swing clear model such as the ABH A210HD full surface swing clear continuous gear hinge.
12) Is there a lighter-duty continuous hinge alternative to the Pemko FS302 for an interior office door?
The FS302 is a Grade 1 stainless steel hinge built for fire-rated and weather-tight commercial openings. Where that level is more than the opening needs, the BEST 641 is a steel full mortise continuous hinge with hospital tips listed at medium duty, and the BEST 651 is the stainless steel full mortise version, also listed at medium duty. Both are mortise hinges, so they need edge prep rather than the face mounting the FS302 uses.
13) Which continuous hinges are half surface instead of full surface like the Pemko FS302?
The FS302 is a full surface hinge, with leaves applied to the faces of both the door and the frame. Half surface hinges mortise into the frame and apply to the door face: the ABH A460HD is a half surface heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge rated at 450 lbs capacity, and the NGP HD5400A is an 83 inch half surface continuous geared hinge in aluminum alloy, 10C fire rated 90 minute on hollow metal. Choose based on which of the two members you can prep.
14) Is a geared continuous hinge the same thing as the Pemko FS302?
No. The FS302 is a full surface continuous pin and barrel hinge in 304 stainless steel with extruded aluminum covers. Geared continuous hinges use meshed gear teeth and an aluminum barrel instead, as in the Design Hardware FSHD full surface heavy duty continuous geared hinge and the ABH A135HD heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge with safety design. They serve the same purpose of carrying the door along its full height, but the leaf profile, covers and fastener pattern are not shared, so one is not a drop-in replacement for the other on an existing prep.
