Pemko CFM83SLFHD1 Full Mortise Geared Continuous Hinge 83in

Product Description

The PEMKO CFM83SLFHD1 is a full mortise, heavy duty geared continuous hinge with a short leaf profile, finished in clear anodized aluminum. Designed to run the full length of a door edge, continuous hinges distribute load across the entire door height rather than concentrating stress at two or three hinge points. This reduces wear on the door frame and door edge over time. At 83 inches in length, this hinge suits standard commercial door applications. The clear anodized aluminum finish provides corrosion resistance in high-traffic architectural environments. Installation is performed by commercial door and hardware specialists or licensed carpenters working to applicable building codes.

This continuous hinge is intended for commercial and institutional door applications where heavy duty cycle count and long-term durability are required. Full mortise mounting means the hinge leaf seats flush within routed pockets on both the door edge and the frame, producing a clean finished appearance. The short leaf configuration suits door and frame preparations where a narrower hinge leaf is specified. Typical install scenarios include schools, hospitals, government buildings, and other high-traffic facilities requiring ANSI-grade continuous hinge hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified door and hardware technicians or licensed carpenters. Full mortise hinges require precise routing of door edge and frame to the correct depth and width before mounting. Verify door and frame preparation dimensions match the hinge leaf width prior to install. Follow applicable building and fire codes when installing continuous hinges on fire-rated door assemblies.
