Continuous Hinges

Geared continuous hinges are designed to last the life of a building by distributing the weight of a door along the entire length of its frame. The geared continuous hinge has no pin. Instead, these hinges utilize a single gear section for the leaf and a separate gear section for the frame side of the door. The two are held in place by a full-length cover channel and rotate on a series of bearings. Ives HD models feature a spread bearing design for lighter weight doors; XY models feature lateral and vertical adjustment after the hinge is secured to door and frame, a center loaded bearing design to help reduce frame issues.
