Ives 157XY8328 Full Surface Continuous Hinge 84 Inches

Product Description

The IVES 157XY8328 is a heavy-duty adjustable full surface continuous hinge designed for demanding door applications in commercial and institutional construction. Spanning 84 inches in length, this continuous hinge distributes load across the full height of the door, reducing stress on the door frame and extending the service life of both the door and frame assembly. The aluminum finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for high-traffic environments. It installs flush to the surface of the door and frame face without requiring a routed mortise pocket, making it a practical choice for new construction and replacement projects alike.

This continuous hinge is well suited for heavy commercial doors in schools, hospitals, government buildings, and other facilities where doors see frequent, heavy use. The adjustable design accommodates minor variations in door alignment during installation. Surface-mount configuration means it works with hollow metal, wood, and composite door and frame combinations without specialized machining. Contractors and finish carpenters typically specify full surface continuous hinges where standard butt hinges would be insufficient for the door weight or cycle count required.

Key Features

• Full 84-inch continuous hinge length distributes load across the entire door height
• Adjustable design allows field alignment corrections during and after installation
• Full surface mount eliminates the need for mortise routing on door or frame
• Heavy-duty construction rated for high-cycle, high-traffic commercial door applications
• Aluminum finish resists corrosion in demanding interior and exterior environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation continuous hinge for full-height commercial doors requiring a full surface mount configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, door hardware installer, or general contractor familiar with commercial door hardware. Fasten the hinge to both the door face and frame face using fasteners appropriate for the door and frame material. Verify door alignment and plumb before final fastener torque to take full advantage of the adjustable feature. Always follow local building codes and the door manufacturer's recommendations for hinge placement and fastener schedules.
