BEST BEST-664HD-UL-DB-83 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST 664HD continuous hinge work on a 1-3/4 inch door?
That's exactly what the 664HD is built for. It is a full surface geared continuous hinge for 1-3/4 inch doors set with a 1/16 inch door inset. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, this is the wrong hinge for the opening. The NGP HD5700 is a full surface continuous geared hinge with the same 1/16 inch inset that covers 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors.
2) Is the BEST 664HD hinge fire rated for a 90 minute door?
Yes. The 664HD is UL approved for 90 minute fire rated metal doors and 60 minute wood doors. So on a hollow metal fire door assembly rated 90 minutes it carries the rating; on a wood fire door the ceiling is 60 minutes. An FR option is available where a longer rating is required.
3) Do I have to mortise the frame to install a 664HD continuous hinge?
No. The 664HD is a full surface hinge, so both leaves mount to the face of the door and the face of the frame. Nothing gets routed into the door edge or the frame rabbet, which is why it suits retrofits where the existing butt hinge cutouts are chewed up or the frame prep is wrong. If your opening can take a mortised hinge and you want the hinge hidden, a full mortise unit like the Design Hardware FMHD or the Pemko FM-RG Series is the type to look at instead.
4) Can I use the BEST 664HD to replace worn butt hinges on an existing fire door?
That is one of its main uses. Because it mounts full surface, it covers the door and frame faces rather than needing sound butt hinge mortises, so it works on openings where the existing cutouts are worn or the leaves have dropped out of alignment. Confirm the door is 1-3/4 inches thick, no wider than 48 inches, and under 450 lbs, and that a 90 minute rating on metal (60 minute on wood) satisfies the door assembly's label.
5) What is the closest full surface continuous geared hinge to the BEST 664HD from another brand?
The NGP HD5700 is the nearest match. Like the 664HD, it is a full surface continuous geared hinge built around a 1/16 inch door inset, and NGP lists it for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors in an 83 inch length. It carries a 10C fire rating for 90 minutes on hollow metal, which is the same 90-minute metal door rating the 664HD is UL approved for. If the opening is already prepped for a 1/16 inch inset full surface hinge, the HD5700 drops into the same geometry.
6) The door is already prepped for a mortised hinge, not surface mounted. What continuous hinge should I use instead of the 664HD?
The 664HD mounts full surface, so it needs the leaves on the face of the door and frame. For an opening prepped to mortise, use a full mortise continuous geared hinge instead: the ABH A120HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge in full mortise with easy install technology, the Design Hardware FMHD is a heavy duty full mortise continuous geared hinge, and the Pemko FM-RG Series is a Grade 1 aluminum full mortise raised geared hinge with a 180 degree swing. All three go into the hinge edge rather than onto the face.
7) Can I use the Pemko FM-SLF in place of the BEST 664HD?
They are not interchangeable. The 664HD is designed for 1-3/4 inch doors and mounts full surface, while the Pemko FM-SLF is a short leaf flush continuous geared hinge for 1-3/8 inch doors with Grade 1 construction and mounts full mortise. Both the door thickness and the mounting prep differ, so the FM-SLF belongs on a 1-3/8 inch mortise-prepped opening rather than as a swap for the 664HD.
8) What continuous hinge should I use on a behavioral health or detention door instead of a standard heavy duty one?
Standard continuous hinges including the 664HD are built for weight distribution and fire rating, not for anti-barricade duty. The Pemko DSH1000 is an anti-barricade continuous hinge with 100 degree bidirectional operation and Grade 1 construction, letting the door swing either way so an occupant cannot block it. The ABH A135HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge with a safety design in that same family. Those are the ones to look at when the opening is a safety application.
9) Full surface or half surface continuous hinge, which do I need?
It comes down to what you can mount to. Full surface, like the 664HD, puts one leaf on the door face and one on the frame face, so no mortising is needed on either side. Half surface mounts one leaf into a mortise and leaves the other on the surface, which is what you want when the frame is already prepped or the door face has to stay clean. ZenSupply carries half surface heavy duty units in the ABH A460HD and the NGP HD5400A if that is your condition.
10) Is the BEST 664HD hinge handed, and does it matter which way the door swings?
No handing to specify. A geared continuous hinge like the 664HD runs the full height of the opening and the same unit works left or right hand; you determine the swing by which face of the door and frame you mount the leaves to. That is one fewer thing to get wrong on a reorder than with butt hinges.
11) What is the difference between a full surface continuous hinge like the BEST 664HD and a half surface one?
Full surface means both leaves land on the face of the door and the face of the frame, which is why the 664HD suits retrofit work where nothing is being routed. A half surface hinge takes one leaf on the door face and the other into the frame rabbet. The ABH A460HD is a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge in half surface rated at 450 lbs capacity, and the NGP HD5400A is an 83 inch half surface continuous geared hinge in aluminum alloy carrying a 10C 90-minute rating on hollow metal. Which one fits comes down to whether the frame will accept a leaf.
12) Which continuous hinges state a Grade 1 rating if my spec calls one out?
Several Pemko continuous geared hinges are stated as Grade 1: the CFM84SLF-HD1, an 84 inch full mortise short leaf flush heavy duty hinge; the FM-RG Series full mortise raised geared aluminum hinge with 180 degree swing; the FM-SLF short leaf flush hinge built for 1-3/8 inch doors; and the DSH1000 anti-barricade hinge with 100 degree bidirectional operation. If the drawing calls for a graded continuous hinge by number, those are the ones carrying the Grade 1 designation in this family.
13) Is there a continuous hinge with the gear concealed instead of exposed like the 664HD?
Yes. The NGP HD1100A is a concealed continuous geared hinge in 83 inches, heavy duty, and it is 10C fire rated for 90 minutes on hollow metal, matching the 90-minute metal door rating the 664HD is UL approved for. The 664HD mounts full surface with the hinge on the face of the door and frame; the HD1100A tucks the gear out of sight, which is the usual choice when the elevation cannot show hardware.
14) Are there other full surface heavy duty continuous geared hinges besides the BEST 664HD?
The Design Hardware FSHD is a full surface heavy duty continuous geared hinge, so it shares the mounting configuration and duty level of the 664HD. The NGP HD5700 is another full surface option, cut for a 1/16 inch door inset on 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors in an 83 inch length. For a standardization program across a building, those keep the same face-mounted prep on every opening.
15) Which continuous hinges match the 450 lb door weight the BEST 664HD carries?
The 664HD supports doors up to 450 lbs at a 48 inch maximum door width. Two ABH hinges are stated at the same 450 lbs capacity: the A460HD, a heavy duty aluminum continuous gear hinge in half surface, and the A210HD, a heavy duty aluminum full surface swing clear hinge. The A210HD keeps the full surface mounting of the 664HD while the A460HD is half surface, so the choice turns on how the frame is prepped.
16) What finishes are available on the BEST 664HD hinge?
Clear aluminum and dark bronze are the two finishes stocked, and both are offered in the 83 inch and 95 inch lengths. Dark bronze is the usual pick when the hinge has to disappear against a bronze frame or storefront; clear aluminum matches mill finish aluminum and most painted hollow metal jobs.
17) Does an aluminum continuous hinge hold up in a wet or coastal opening?
The 664HD is heavy duty aluminum, which resists corrosion better than a plated steel butt hinge in damp or salt air service. It is a commercial heavy duty product, so exterior entrances and high cycle service openings are the intended kind of use.
