Pemko CFM83 Continuous Geared Hinge Full-Mortise Clear Anodized Finish - 83" Fire Rated - UL10C - Positive Pressure

Pemko CFM83 Continuous Geared Hinge Full-Mortise Clear Anodized Finish Fire Rated - UL10C - Positive Pressure 83" Length are designed mainly for new door applications. Also available in heavy-duty models.

Features:

• Fasteners are No. 12-24 x 7/16" FHUC, Type C, thread-forming, no tapping required
• Applied to conceal both leaves

• With a continuous hinge, typical alignment problems (such as door sag and binding) are eliminated.
• The continuous hinge distributes load stress uniformly along the full length of the door and frame.
• The gear design of the continuous hinge ensures the symmetrical operation of each leaf.
• 1/2 lb. or less operating force is required to operate most doors, regardless of size.
• The low operating force feature makes continuous hinges ideal for doors used by the physically challenged.
• The continuous hinge acts as reinforcement for both the door and frame.
• A high degree of security can be achieved for exterior openings or restricted spaces by using a continuous hinge. With the geared construction and the full-length channel cap, the common gap between the door and frame is sealed, which provides security against prying.
• In addition, the closing of this gap protects against pinching fingers indoors in public areas, particularly those where children are present.
• The sight-proof design of the continuous hinge provides privacy for lavatories, executive offices, or file rooms.
• PemkoHinge has increased critical stress points of the leaf extrusions, which provides additional strength and rigidity to the completed product.
• PemkoHinge has a new bearing design that eliminates premature wear, guarantees proper alignment, and requires fewer bearings to carry more weight. This new bearing is produced for Pemko using a chemical composition and injection process that provides a stronger, more accurately formed bearing.
• PemkoHinge is designed with inter-meshing gear segments in the hinge which provide a 50% more bearing surface. With a more bearing surface, less wear results.
• PemkoHinge also goes through the anodizing process after completing all machining. This means the machined aluminum surfaces that are in direct contact with the bearing have a smoother, harder surface, thereby reducing wear.
• PemkoHinge maintains uniform bearing spacing the full length of the hinge even when lengths exceed 10 ft.
• PemkoHinge uses #12-24 size fasteners instead of #10. (#12 Tek fasteners available upon request).
• PemkoHinge commercial models are ideal for use on lead-lined doors (i.e. hospital X-ray rooms), without requiring special screw locations.
