Ives 224HD9528 Heavy Duty Full Mortise Continuous Hinge

Product Description

The IVES 224HD9528 is a heavy duty full mortise continuous hinge finished in aluminum, designed for high-cycle commercial and institutional door applications. Continuous hinges, also called piano hinges, run the full height of the door leaf, distributing load across the entire door edge rather than concentrating stress at two or three knuckle points. This construction significantly reduces wear on the door frame and leaf over time. The 224HD9528 is sized at 95 inches in length, making it suited to standard and oversized commercial door openings. Installation is performed by qualified door hardware technicians or finish carpenters working to commercial construction specifications.

Full mortise continuous hinges like the 224HD9528 are commonly specified for heavy commercial and institutional applications including schools, hospitals, government buildings, and high-traffic corridor doors. The mortise design sets the hinge leaves flush into the door edge and frame, producing a clean face and maintaining door clearances. This model is sold individually and is appropriate for new construction and replacement projects where a full-length hinge is required to meet load, cycle, or code requirements.

Key Features

• Full mortise design seats leaves flush with door edge and frame for a clean installation
• Heavy duty construction distributes door weight along the full 95-inch hinge length
• Aluminum finish coordinates with standard commercial architectural hardware specifications
• Continuous knuckle design reduces point-load stress and extends door and frame service life
• Sold as individual unit for single-door replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation continuous hinge for heavy duty full mortise commercial door applications requiring a 95-inch hinge length.

Installation Notes

Full mortise continuous hinges are installed by qualified door hardware technicians or commercial carpenters. The door and frame must be mortised to the correct depth and width before mounting to ensure flush seating of both leaves. Follow all applicable commercial building codes and hardware specifications for fastener type and spacing. Remove the door from service and secure the opening before beginning mortise work or hinge replacement.
