Hager 780-053HD 83 Clr Continuous Geared Hinge 83in Hd

Product Description

The HAGER 780-053HD 83 CLR is a half surface continuous geared hinge built for heavy-duty commercial door applications. At 83 inches in length, it spans the full height of standard commercial door frames, distributing load evenly along the entire door edge rather than concentrating stress at two or three knuckle points. The satin aluminum clear anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance suited for high-traffic interior and exterior openings. Licensed door hardware technicians and commercial contractors are the typical installers for this type of continuous hinge.

Continuous geared hinges of this type are used on commercial doors in schools, hospitals, office buildings, and institutional facilities where door swing frequency and load demands exceed the capacity of standard butt hinges. The heavy-duty designation indicates this hinge is rated for high-cycle, high-load applications such as oversized doors, doors with closers, or doors subject to repeated forced use. The half surface configuration mounts one leaf to the door face and the other to the door frame edge, making it compatible with hollow metal, wood, and aluminum door and frame assemblies.

Key Features

• 83-inch continuous length provides full-height load distribution along the door edge
• Heavy-duty geared mechanism supports high-cycle and high-load commercial applications
• Half surface mount design suits hollow metal, wood, and aluminum door assemblies
• Satin aluminum clear anodized finish offers corrosion resistance and a neutral appearance
• Continuous gear action eliminates the stress concentrations associated with multi-knuckle butt hinge sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation continuous hinge for commercial door assemblies requiring a half surface, full-height geared hinge in a heavy-duty rating.

Installation Notes

Installation of continuous hinges should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or commercial contractor familiar with ANSI/BHMA door hardware standards. Power down any electrified hardware and secure the door before beginning hinge removal or installation. Use the manufacturer-specified fastener pattern and ensure the door and frame are properly aligned before final fastening. Do not modify the hinge extrusion by cutting or drilling outside the designated fastener holes, as this may compromise the structural rating.
