Ives 224HD8328 Heavy Duty Full Mortise Continuous Hinge

Product Description

The IVES 224HD8328 is a heavy duty full mortise continuous hinge designed for commercial and institutional door applications. This hinge runs the full height of the door leaf, distributing load across the entire door edge rather than concentrating stress at two or three hinge points. At 83 inches in length and finished in aluminum, it is suited for high-traffic openings where standard hinges would wear prematurely. Licensed door hardware technicians and commercial locksmiths are the typical installers. The full mortise configuration requires routed pockets in both the door and frame for a flush, clean installation.

This continuous hinge is intended for commercial-grade door assemblies including heavy wood, hollow metal, and aluminum-framed doors in schools, hospitals, government buildings, and other high-use facilities. The heavy duty designation makes it appropriate for doors subject to frequent cycling or abuse loads. It ships as a single unit and is compatible with standard mortise hinge preparation on door frames and door slabs. No specific model compatibilities were stated in the product data beyond the specifications listed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware technician or commercial locksmith. The door and frame must be routed to the correct mortise depth before fitting the hinge. Power down any access control or electrified hardware connected to the door assembly before beginning work. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer torque guidance for fastener installation to ensure proper door operation and security.
