Pemko DFS83CP-HD1-M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I replace worn butt hinges with a Pemko PemKonnect continuous hinge without modifying the frame?
That's exactly what the full surface mounting is for. The PemKonnect FS-CP-HD1-M applies to the exposed faces of the door and frame, so it goes on over the existing butt hinge prep with no frame adjustments. You do not need to mortise the door edge or the jamb. It's the retrofit path when the old butt hinge locations are worn or torn out.
2) What door size and thickness will the Pemko heavy duty continuous hinge handle?
Doors up to 1-3/4 inches thick and 4 feet wide. That covers standard commercial hollow metal and wood doors at the usual 1-3/4 inch thickness, including wide 4 foot leaves. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, this is not the hinge for it, and you'd want a full surface geared hinge rated for the thicker leaf such as the NGP HD5700, which covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
3) Is the Pemko PemKonnect continuous hinge fire rated?
UL 10C certified, and it also meets ANSI/BHMA A156.26 for continuous hinges. That combination is what a fire door assembly needs from the hinge side, so it's usable on rated openings in healthcare, education, and government facilities where the inspector wants the listing on record.
4) Is a full surface continuous hinge the right choice, or should I use full mortise or half surface?
Full surface, like the Pemko PemKonnect FS-CP-HD1-M, mounts on the faces of both the door and the frame, so it's the retrofit answer when you can't touch the frame prep. Full mortise sits in the hinge edge of the door and the jamb rebate and gives a cleaner look on new openings; the ABH A120HD and the Design Hardware FMHD are full mortise heavy duty geared hinges. Half surface, such as the ABH A460HD or NGP HD5400A, mortises into the frame but surface mounts to the door, which suits a new frame with an existing or non-preppable door.
5) Will a continuous geared hinge hold up on a high traffic entrance where butt hinges keep failing?
That's the usual reason to move to one. A continuous geared hinge carries the door load along the entire height of the leaf rather than at three or four points, so the sag and screw pull-out that kills butt hinges on heavy traffic doors doesn't concentrate anywhere. The Pemko PemKonnect is Grade 1 aluminum at 1.29 lbs per foot and mounts full surface, so on a failing opening you can go straight over the damaged butt hinge locations without rehanging the frame.
6) What is the closest full surface heavy duty continuous geared hinge to the Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M from another brand?
The Design Hardware FSHD is the nearest match in configuration: a full surface heavy duty continuous geared hinge, the same mounting approach as the Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M, which applies to the exposed surfaces of the door and frame so butt hinges can be replaced with no frame adjustments. The BEST 664HD is also a full surface heavy duty continuous geared hinge and carries a 90-minute UL fire rating. If the opening is a fire door, the Pemko is ANSI/BHMA A156.26 and UL 10C certified, so either path holds for a rated opening.
7) The frame is prepped for a mortised hinge, not a surface applied one. What continuous hinge should I use instead of the FS-CP-HD1-M?
A full mortise continuous geared hinge is the right family when the door and frame are already prepped for a mortised hinge. The Design Hardware FMHD is a full mortise heavy duty continuous geared hinge, and the ABH A120HD is a full mortise heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge with Easy Install Technology. The Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M is a full surface hinge, applied to the exposed surfaces of the door and frame, so it is chosen when the frame is not being modified rather than when a mortise prep already exists.
8) Is a half surface continuous hinge the same thing as the Pemko full surface FS-CP-HD1-M?
No. Half surface and full surface are different mounting configurations and are not interchangeable on a given prep. The ABH A460HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge in a half surface configuration with 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. The Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M is full surface, applied to the exposed surfaces of both the door and the frame. Confirm which leaf gets surface applied before ordering.
9) How much clearance does the Pemko full surface continuous hinge need, and how far will the door swing?
Minimum hinge clearance is 1/16 inch, and the door swings a full 180 degrees. The 180 degree swing matters on corridors and equipment rooms where the leaf has to lay back flat against the wall, and it's what makes clear opening width work for accessible routes.
10) What finishes does the Pemko PemKonnect heavy duty continuous hinge come in?
Clear anodized aluminum and dark bronze anodized aluminum, both available in the 12 inch and 83 inch sizes. Clear anodized is the standard match for aluminum storefront and most hollow metal openings; dark bronze matches bronze anodized storefront systems and dark painted frames. For a property manager standardizing a building, those are the two to pick between so the retrofit doors read the same as the rest.
11) What else could I use instead of the Pemko PemKonnect if I need a full surface heavy duty geared hinge?
Direct full surface heavy duty alternatives include the BEST 664HD, which carries a 90 minute UL fire rating, the Design Hardware FSHD, and the NGP HD5700 for thicker 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. If the opening needs the leaf to clear the frame entirely for wheelchair or gurney traffic, that's a swing clear hinge instead, such as the ABH A210HD. The Design Hardware FSOHD is a full surface offset version.
12) Do I need to order the Pemko continuous hinge by hand, left or right?
No handing to specify. The Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M is ordered by finish and length only, clear anodized or dark bronze anodized, 12 inch or 83 inch. Continuous geared hinges are non-handed, which is part of why they simplify stocking for a facility standardizing across many openings.
13) I need the hinge to disappear when the door is closed. Is there a continuous hinge that is not surface applied?
For a concealed appearance, the NGP HD1100A is a concealed continuous geared hinge in an 83 inch length, 10C fire rated 90 minute on hollow metal. The Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M mounts on the exposed surfaces of the door and frame, which is what lets it replace butt hinges with no frame adjustments, so it stays visible when the door is closed. Choose on whether the opening tolerates a visible hinge or the frame can take a concealed prep.
14) What continuous hinge should I specify for an inset door application instead of the Pemko?
The BEST 663HD is a heavy duty continuous hinge built for 3/32 inch inset doors and carries a 90-minute UL fire rating. The Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M is a full surface center pivot hinge with a 1/16 inch minimum hinge clearance. The inset dimension is what decides between them, so measure the gap between door and frame face before selecting.
15) What is the difference between a full surface and a full surface offset continuous geared hinge?
They mount the same way but position the door differently relative to the frame. The Design Hardware FSHD is a full surface heavy duty continuous geared hinge and the Design Hardware FSOHD is the full surface offset heavy duty version; both are heavy duty. The offset variant shifts the pivot point away from the frame face. The Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M is a full surface center pivot geared hinge with 180-degree swing capability, so the door pivots about a centered axis rather than an offset one.
16) I have a healthcare corridor door and need hospital tips on the hinge. Does the Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M offer that?
For hospital tips specifically, the BEST 641 steel full mortise continuous hinge and the BEST 651 stainless steel full mortise continuous hinge are both built with hospital tips. Both are full mortise. The Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M is a full surface geared hinge in Grade 1 aluminum, suited to healthcare institutions among its applications, and its advantage there is retrofitting butt hinges without frame modification. If the tip detail is a written requirement on the drawing, the BEST full mortise units are the ones that call it out.
17) Which continuous geared hinge ships without a long freight crate?
The Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M uses the PemKonnect modular design: hinge segments fit together and ship in a 45 inch box, which reduces freight damage and storage space while holding the same weight capacity and performance as a traditional continuous hinge. Full-length peers in the same category, such as the NGP HD1100A and NGP HD5400A at 83 inches, are single-piece 83 inch hinges. If handling a full-length carton on site is the constraint, the modular Pemko is the one built around that.
18) Is there a continuous hinge with a finger protection or safety feature the Pemko does not have?
The ABH A135HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge built with a safety design, which is the one in the comparable group carrying that feature call-out. The Pemko FS-CP-HD1-M is a full surface Grade 1 aluminum geared hinge with 180-degree swing and ANSI/BHMA A156.26 and UL 10C certification. For schools, daycare, or any opening where the hinge-side gap is a written safety concern, the A135HD is the one specified around that.
