Hager 780-113HD 83 Clr Continuous Geared Hinge 83in Hd

Product Description

The HAGER 780-113HD 83 CLR is a heavy-duty concealed leaf continuous geared hinge finished in satin aluminum with a clear anodized coating. Continuous geared hinges span the full height of the door, distributing load evenly along the entire door edge rather than concentrating stress at two or three knuckle points. This design significantly reduces door sag, frame racking, and hinge-point wear over time. At 83 inches in length, this hinge is sized for full-height commercial door applications. The concealed leaf configuration keeps the hinge barrel and gear mechanism hidden when the door is closed, providing a clean sight line and an added layer of tamper resistance appropriate for high-traffic or secured openings.

This hinge is intended for commercial and institutional door installations where durability and long service life are required. Heavy-duty continuous hinges of this type are commonly specified for hollow metal doors, aluminum storefront doors, and wood doors in schools, hospitals, office buildings, and government facilities. The safety hinge designation indicates design features that reduce the risk of finger entrapment at the hinge edge, making it suitable for openings where occupant safety compliance is a priority. Installation is typically performed by commercial door and hardware specialists or finish carpenters working to architectural hardware specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of continuous hinges on commercial doors should be performed by a qualified door and hardware technician familiar with applicable building codes and door hardware standards such as ANSI/BHMA specifications. Ensure the door and frame are properly aligned and the opening is plumb and square before mounting. All fasteners should be appropriate for the door and frame material; never force the hinge leaf into a mortise that has not been properly routed to depth. Verify that door weight and frequency-of-use ratings are within the hinge capacity before installation.
