Details: Legacy Manufacturing 1019 Full Mortised Continuous Hinge

Continuous hinges distribute the weight of the door along the entire length of its frame by reducing the high stress normally associated with butt hinge applications. It also keeps the door in constant alignment, eliminating the chance of door sag. These characteristics make continuous hinges suitable for high-use, high-traffic doors, and acoustical applications.

Continuous hinges utilize a gear system held in place by a full-length cover channel and rotate on a series of bearings. The design of a continuous hinge eliminates the spacing between the hinges, which helps prevents fingers from being pinched, making it a safer device than traditional hinges.
