Ives 157XY 83 US28 Continuous Gear Hinge 83 in

Product Description

The IVES 157XY 83 US28 is a full-surface continuous gear hinge manufactured from aluminum and designed for door applications requiring smooth, consistent operation across the full height of the door. At 83 inches in length, this hinge spans the entire door leaf for even load distribution and long-term durability. The center pivot design accommodates a 1/16 inch inset, making it suitable for doors where precise alignment and minimal clearance are required. Licensed contractors and door hardware installers use this hinge in commercial and institutional settings where standard butt hinges are insufficient for high-cycle or heavy-duty use.

This continuous gear hinge is intended for full-surface mounting, meaning it attaches directly to the face of both the door and the frame without mortising. The 83 inch length suits standard full-height commercial doors. The aluminum construction and US28 finish make it appropriate for interior applications where corrosion resistance and a consistent appearance are required. It is commonly installed on aluminum-framed doors, hollow metal doors, and wood doors in schools, healthcare facilities, and commercial buildings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or licensed contractor familiar with commercial door hardware standards. Power down any access control or electrified hardware connected to the door before beginning work. Full-surface hinges require proper fastener selection based on door and frame material - consult the manufacturer documentation for recommended fastener type and spacing. Verify door alignment and swing clearance before final installation.
