Pemko CSPFM83SLI-HD1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko SPFM-SLI fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The SPFM-SLI covers door thicknesses from 1-3/4 inches to 2-1/4 inches, so a 2 inch door is in range. That upper end is what makes it workable on thermally broken and insulated exterior leaves, which run thicker than the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door.
2) Can I use this Pemko hinge on a fire rated opening?
The SPFM-SLI is UL 10C fire rated. Special FirePins are required only on 3-hour A-label assemblies; below that rating no pins are needed. It also complies with ANSI/BHMA A156.26 and is a Grade 1 hinge.
3) Full mortise or full surface continuous hinge, which do I need?
The Pemko SPFM-SLI is a full mortise hinge, so both door and frame get routed and the hinge hides when the door is closed. That means a prepped door edge and frame rabbet. If you are retrofitting an existing opening you do not want to machine, a full surface hinge like the Design Hardware FSHD or the NGP HD5700 mounts to the faces instead and takes no mortise work.
4) What is the closest full mortise continuous geared hinge to the Pemko SPFM-SLI if the frame has no weatherstrip or applied stop to clear?
When the frame is plain and the short leaf inset is not needed, a standard full mortise geared hinge covers the same concealed application. The ABH A120HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge in full mortise configuration, and the Design Hardware FMHD is a heavy duty full mortise continuous geared hinge. Both mount concealed between door and frame like the SPFM-SLI, which is aluminum Grade 1, but neither carries the short leaf inset profile that keeps the leaf off weatherstrip, thermo-break, or applied stops.
5) The door and frame cannot be mortised for a concealed hinge. What continuous geared hinge should be used instead of the Pemko SPFM-SLI?
The SPFM-SLI is a full mortise hinge that conceals both leaves, so it needs frame and door prep. Where prep is not possible and the hinge must mount to the face of the door and frame, the Design Hardware FSHD is a heavy duty full surface continuous geared hinge, the BEST 664HD is a heavy duty full surface geared hinge, and the ABH A460HD is a heavy duty aluminum half surface gear hinge. The Design Hardware FSOHD is the full surface offset version of the same heavy duty family.
6) Is the NGP HD1100A a substitute for the Pemko SPFM-SLI on a Grade 1 specification?
Not on a Grade 1 line item. The NGP HD1100A is a concealed continuous geared hinge in an 83 inch length, but it is listed at Grade 3, while the Pemko SPFM-SLI is Grade 1. Both are concealed hinges, so the mounting concept matches; if the submittal calls for Grade 1, the SPFM-SLI meets that and the HD1100A does not.
7) For a 90 minute fire rated opening, what continuous hinges compare to the Pemko SPFM-SLI?
The Pemko SPFM-SLI is UL 10C certified, with special FirePins required only on 3-hour A-label assemblies. Comparable fire rated options include the BEST 663HD, a heavy duty continuous hinge with a 90 minute UL fire rating for 3/32 inch inset doors, the BEST 664HD heavy duty full surface hinge with a 90 minute UL rating, and the NGP HD5400A half surface hinge listed as 10C fire rated 90 minute on hollow metal.
8) The opening needs a swing clear or safety style continuous hinge. Does the Pemko SPFM-SLI do that, or is there a better choice?
The Pemko SPFM-SLI is a standard concealed full mortise geared hinge with up to 180 degree swing and 5/16 inch minimum clearance; it is not a swing clear or finger protection design. For those requirements the ABH A210HD is a heavy duty aluminum full surface swing clear gear hinge, and the ABH A135HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge with a safety design.
9) What is the maximum door width and hinge length for the Pemko SPFM-SLI?
Doors up to 4 feet wide, with hinge lengths up to 10 feet. Load rating is 1.13 pounds per foot of hinge. On a tall opening you order the hinge to the door height, not the frame height.
10) What lengths and finishes can I order this Pemko full mortise geared hinge in?
Stock lengths are 83, 85, 95 and 120 inches, and custom lengths are available down to a 79 inch minimum and up to 10 feet. Finishes are clear anodized aluminum, dark bronze anodized aluminum, dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent, black suede powder coat, white suede powder coat, gold powder coat and satin nickel powder coat. Every finish is offered in all four stock lengths.
11) Does this hinge let the door swing a full 180 degrees?
Yes, 180 degrees maximum swing, with 5/16 inch minimum hinge clearance required. If the door has to clear the frame face entirely for gurney or cart traffic, a swing clear geared hinge such as the ABH A210HD full surface swing clear is the type to look at instead.
12) What is the difference between the Pemko SPFM-SLI short leaf inset hinge and the NGP HD5700 inset hinge?
They solve inset differently. The SPFM-SLI is a full mortise hinge whose short leaf inset keeps the leaf clear of weatherstrip, thermo-break, or applied frame stops, and it takes 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The NGP HD5700 is a full surface geared hinge with a 1/16 inch door inset, also for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, so it mounts to the faces rather than being concealed in the mortise.
13) Is this hinge suitable for a high traffic commercial entrance rather than an interior residential door?
It is a commercial-duty part. Grade 1 aluminum construction, continuous gear down the full door height so the load spreads instead of concentrating at three butt hinges, and a 1.13 pound per foot rating. Typical use is weatherized office and institutional entrances, schools with thermo-break frames, and multi-tenant entries with weather sealing.
14) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Pemko SPFM-SLI?
What you specify is length, finish and the door thickness within the 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch range. Continuous geared hinges run the full height of the door and are not handed the way butt hinges are. For 3-hour A-label openings add the FirePins.
