Pemko CFM83HD1 SER12 Full Mortise Continuous Hinge 83 in

Product Description

The PEMKO CFM83HD1 SER12 is a full mortise continuous hinge designed for heavy-duty door applications requiring integrated wire transfer capability. Spanning 83 inches in length, this hinge runs the full height of the door and frame, distributing load evenly along the entire edge rather than concentrating stress at two or three pivot points. It supports 12-wire transfer, allowing electrical or low-voltage signal conductors to pass through the hinge barrel without external conduit loops. Built to ANSI Grade 1 standards and finished in satin aluminum clear anodize, it is installed by door and hardware contractors, locksmiths, and commercial construction crews.

This hinge is suited for commercial and institutional door openings where both structural performance and wire management are required in a single assembly. Typical applications include electrified exit devices, access control doors, and security doors where power or data lines must cross the door-to-frame gap cleanly. The serviceable and removable design allows the wire transfer module to be maintained or replaced in the field without removing the full hinge from the door or frame, reducing downtime on active openings.

Key Features

• Full mortise mounting runs the full 83-inch door height for maximum load distribution
• Integrated 12-wire transfer eliminates the need for external wire loops or conduit jumpers
• Serviceable and removable wire transfer module supports field maintenance without full disassembly
• ANSI Grade 1 heavy-duty construction rated for high-cycle commercial use
• Satin aluminum clear anodized finish resists corrosion and blends with standard commercial door hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style full mortise continuous hinge replacement for commercial and institutional door openings requiring integrated 12-wire transfer at 83 inches in height.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified door and hardware technicians or licensed electricians where low-voltage wiring is involved. De-energize all circuits connected to the wire transfer before beginning installation or service. Full mortise hinges require precise routing into both the door edge and the frame; use appropriate router jigs and door hardware templates to ensure flush seating. Follow applicable local building codes and the door manufacturer's hardware prep specifications for continuous hinge applications.
