Pemko DFM95SLF-HD1 Continuous Geared Hinge 95 in Dark Bronze

Product Description

The PEMKO DFM95SLF-HD1 is a full-mortise, short-leaf-flush continuous geared hinge built for heavy-duty door applications. Constructed from anodized aluminum in a dark bronze finish, this 95-inch hinge runs the full height of the door to distribute load evenly and eliminate the stress points associated with traditional butt hinges. It carries a Grade 1 BHMA rating and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.26 standards. The UL10C positive-pressure fire rating makes it suitable for rated door assemblies where code compliance is required. Installation is handled by commercial door and hardware professionals on new construction projects.

This hinge is designed primarily for new door applications in commercial and institutional settings where high-cycle performance and code compliance are critical. The full-mortise configuration requires routed pockets in both the door and frame, keeping the leaf profile flush with the door edge. It accommodates door thicknesses from 1.75 inches to 2.25 inches. The 95-inch length covers standard commercial door heights and is available as part of the PemKonnect modular system, which allows the hinge to ship in sections for easier transport through doorways, elevators, and work vans before final assembly on the job.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door and hardware technician familiar with continuous hinge mortising requirements. Both the door and frame must be routed to the correct depth before fastening. Confirm that the door assembly and frame are rated to match the UL10C fire listing when installing on a fire-rated opening. Refer to applicable local building codes and the door manufacturer's specifications before modifying any fire-rated assembly.
