A continuous hinge spreads that load along the entire edge. Nothing loosens at a single screw, and the door stays in alignment for the life of the building rather than needing adjustment every few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gear teeth interlock along the full length, so the swing stays smooth with no single pivot point to bind or wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to check before you order\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour door height.\u003c\/strong\u003e A continuous hinge is cut to the door, so measure it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour door weight and width.\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to \u003cstrong\u003e400 pounds\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e48”\u003c\/strong\u003e.
